If you’ve ever felt like you're doing everything “right” and still not seeing results, you’re not alone. So many women try to lose weight with good intentions, but between busy schedules, stress, hormones, and misinformation, it’s easy to feel stuck and discouraged. The truth? It’s not your fault—and you can turn things around faster than you think!
The good news? You’re not broken, and you’re not lazy—you just need a plan that actually works. That’s exactly why we created the Skinny Jane Weight Loss Plans—simple, 8-week programs designed to help women feel better, look better, and get back in control. But first, let’s break down what might be getting in your way—and how to fix it.
1. Your Metabolism Has Slowed Down
After 35, your metabolism can drop by as much as 2–3% per decade, especially if you’re losing muscle. That means you burn fewer calories doing the same things you used to—and weight gain sneaks up fast.
Solution #1: Add resistance training 2–3 times per week. This helps you maintain or build lean muscle, which naturally increases your metabolism. Need a plan? Check out the Skinny Jane Simply Slim 28 Day Workout.
Solution #2: Take a metabolism-supporting supplement with key ingredients like green tea extract, caffeine, or L-carnitine, which are found in both of our Skinny Jane plans' supplement packs.
2. You're Not Eating Enough (or Eating Too Much)
It sounds backward, but eating too little can actually stall fat loss. Your body thinks it’s starving and holds onto calories. On the flip side, “healthy” snacks, lattes, or portions that are just a little too big can silently pile on calories.
Solution #1: Follow a simple, structured meal plan with the right balance of protein, carbs, and fat. Both Skinny Jane plans include an easy-to-follow plan.
Solution #2: Start tracking what you eat for a few days—without judgment. This creates awareness and helps you spot areas where you're under- or overeating.
3. Hormonal Imbalances
Hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol shift as we age, especially during perimenopause and menopause. This can lead to stubborn belly fat, low energy, and cravings that feel impossible to manage.
Solution #1: Get consistent sleep and reduce stress (even 10 minutes of walking or deep breathing can lower cortisol).
Solution #2: Use targeted supplements that help support hormone balance and fat burning—like those included in our Primetime and Ultimate Skinny Jane plans.
4. You’re Not Strength Training
A lot of women still believe cardio is the only way to lose weight. But too much cardio can actually slow metabolism over time and cause muscle loss. That means you burn fewer calories throughout the day—even at rest.
Solution #1: Incorporate 2–3 short strength workouts each week. These can be bodyweight-only, resistance bands, or light weights. Check out the Skinny Jane Simply Slim 28 Day Workout.
Solution #2: Increase your protein intake to help build and maintain lean muscle. Our plans guide you on protein needs and include supplements to support lean muscle retention. Shoot for .5 to .75 of your body weight in grams.
5. You Don’t Have a Real Plan
“Trying harder” doesn’t work if you’re following random tips, trends, or diets. You need a step-by-step plan designed for your body, your lifestyle, and your goals.
Solution #1: Commit to a complete plan like the Skinny Jane Primetime or Ultimate Weight Loss Plan—both include supplements, meal guides, and daily motivation.
Solution #2: Track your progress weekly with measurements, photos, or a habit checklist. Having structure and small goals helps you stay consistent and feel proud of your wins.
6. You're Overwhelmed with Misinformation
Between TikTok trends, YouTube “experts,” and new fad diets every month, it’s no wonder women feel confused. You hear, “Don’t eat after 6,” “Do keto,” “Only fast”—none of which work long-term for most people.
Solution #1: Choose one path that feels doable and stick to it for at least 4 weeks. That’s how you know if it’s truly working.
Solution #2: Avoid extremes. The Skinny Jane weight loss plans are built around real food, sustainable habits, and products that enhance your progress—not gimmicks.
7. You’re Missing Accountability and Support
Let’s be real—it’s hard to stay motivated when no one’s cheering you on. Life gets busy, results feel slow, and without support, it’s easy to quit after a bad day.
Solution #1: Find accountability through a program that checks in with you daily and motivates you to stay focused—both of our plans do exactly that.
Solution #2: Involve a friend or join a community of women with the same goals. Having even one person to share progress with makes a big difference.
