Fulfilled:
12-week coaching program for midlife women
Lose weight sustainably, build consistency, actually enjoy the process, and feel seen & supported in a way you may never have experienced before.
Powered by The LongJOYvity™ Method
You want to go shopping with your girlfriends and be excited to try on jeans right alongside them, instead of wandering toward the shoes and jewelry because you already know those will fit. You want to look into a full-length mirror and see an outfit you like without immediately picking yourself apart physically, and you’d love to make a promise to yourself about your health without that little voice reminding you how many times you’ve started before!
I understand those wishes because I had them, too. I’m almost 50, and I’ve lost and kept off over 75 pounds in my late 40s after struggling with binge eating tendencies for over 25 years.
Fulfilled is my 12-week personalized weight loss coaching program for women in midlife who want to lose weight sustainably, stop food spiraling and experience true food freedom, with a real woman beside them who cares deeply about helping them follow through to make lasting change.
You’ll have simple meal plans, clear direction, regular check-ins, and a whole lot of encouragement as we work on making this feel more doable (and more enjoyable) than any of the plans or methods you’ve tried before!

“I’m down 19.7 pounds and a total of 13 inches in my first 9 weeks! Also two pants sizes! Michelle’s endless encouragement and support is unmatched, and this program is unlike anything I have ever tried before!”
Work with someone who is as excited about your wins as you are!
When you text me that you tried on the jeans you’d been avoiding, enjoyed dinner out without letting it turn into a weekend of overeating, or kept your walk on the calendar during a week when everyone needed something from you, I understand why that matters. I know how much can be wrapped up in a moment that might look small to someone else, and you can absolutely expect me to celebrate it with you!
Encouragement and enthusiasm are central to how I coach, along with checking in regularly and helping you work through the challenges or old habits and patterns that keep getting in your way. I want to hear how you’re doing throughout the process, including the days when you’re frustrated and would rather quietly disappear until you feel like you’re doing “better.”
An app can record what you ate, but the support I offer comes from a real woman who has lived through the multiple starting over Mondays, the overeating, and the disappointment of breaking another promise to herself. I thrive on getting to know the women I coach and being closely involved as they learn a different way forward!
“Her support is unmatched, and our weekly calls have become a highlight of my week. I’ve tried a LOT of programs over the years, but nothing has compared to this one.”
You have a very specific picture of what feeling better would look like.
It might have less to do with a number on the scale than it does with how you want an ordinary Tuesday (or your next girls’ trip) to feel.
- You want to walk into the fitting room with your friends, try on a few pairs of jeans, and have fun comparing favorites instead of saying, “I’m just going to look at the earrings.”
- You want to get dressed for dinner without trying on six outfits, leaving four of them on the bed, and deciding you don’t feel like going anymore.
- You want to look in the full-length mirror without lifting your shirt, checking for how bad the back fat is, turning sideways multiple times, and letting what you see determine your mood for the next three hours.
- You want to keep Reese’s peanut butter cups or treats for your kids in the refrigerator without feeling like they’re calling your name every time you walk through the kitchen.
- You want to stop second-guessing every food decision and just know what to eat for weight loss success (and stop raiding your own pantry like a raccoon every night at 9pm).
- You want to zipline on the trip, or even just dive into a pool with your kids without thoughts of your weight being stronger than the joy and connection.
- You want to enjoy the burger you actually ordered without guilt, and without deciding it means you’re starting over again on Monday for the 97th time.
- You want to tell yourself you’re going for a walk and lifting weights tomorrow and feel confident that you’ll go, instead of already preparing an excuse.
- You want to release old, toxic diet culture habits and patterns and understand how to eat protein, fiber, and carbs to fuel and satisfy your midlife body.
- You want to work with someone who can help get to the root of what we’re trying to fix; someone who helps you get into a smaller size, sure, but also someone who cares deeply about how you FEEL.
- You want to be led by someone non-intimidating who has lived in an overweight and obese body and is now thriving on the other side, not someone who is a 30 year old influencer living in booty shorts with six pack abs, with no children, and no relatability.
You’re allowed to want those things, and you’re allowed to want help getting there! There’s no shame in seeking support - it’s truly the difference-maker in yo-yo-ing between a few pounds lost and then gained back, struggling alone, versus actual forward progress with a caring, impactful coach. I want you to feel comfortable telling me what you’re hoping for, even if it feels too small, too personal, or a little embarrassing to say out loud. I’m an open book about my own weight and binge struggles, and nothing is “too much” for me - I can probably relate to it all!
I’ve lost and kept off over 75 pounds in my late forties, and I remember what it felt like to constantly wonder whether I could ever change.
For more than 25 years, I struggled with binge eating tendencies, and I used to eat 10+ granola bars and packages of Fruit by the Foot alone at night, in shame. I understand the exhaustion of having a conversation about food running constantly in the background of your day. What you ate, what you shouldn’t have eaten, what you were going to eat later, and how tomorrow was going to be different. It takes up so much room, and quietly steals peace and joy.
Today, I can have a bag of Reese’s in my refrigerator for a week and forget it’s there, which would have sounded almost unbelievable to an earlier version of me. I’ve lost and kept off over 75 pounds in my late 40s, and the peace I’ve found around food is something I’m grateful for every single day.
I genuinely love getting to know people, and building relationships with the women I coach is one of my favorite parts of this work. I care about what’s happening in your life, what makes following through difficult, and what will help you feel encouraged enough to keep going when your first instinct is to quit.
As a midlife weight loss coach and Certified Longevity Coach, I bring practical guidance, personal experience, and a lot of enthusiasm to helping you care for yourself. I want you to have a specific plan you understand and a coach you feel comfortable reaching out to, because both matter when you’re learning to do things differently.
I want you to have more years with the people you love, and I want you to fully enjoy being part of those years.
My dad was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia at just 44, and my mom survived a double heart bypass at 72. I have deeply personal reasons to prioritize longevity, and those experiences are a big part of why I care so deeply about our wellness and the lives we’re building as we get older.
Approaching 50 has made that even more personal for me. I want to travel with my family, be adventurous with my teen sons, feel strong in my body, and say yes to experiences, without first wondering whether my weight will make them uncomfortable. I want all of that for you in your life, as well!
Losing over 75 pounds changed what participating FULLY in my own life could feel like, and finding more peace around food gave me back energy and attention I didn’t realize I’d been spending on it.
That’s why longevity has a meaningful place inside Fulfilled. We’ll work on the weight loss and food struggles that brought you here, while also caring for the woman you want to be five, ten, and twenty years from now. She’s amazing, I know that for sure!
They had doubts about following through, too. Here’s what having support has felt like for them:
I have been watching Michelle transform herself over the past few years. Every post I thought….wow!!! What is Michelle doing? Not only did I see the obvious change in her photos, I started to see a more confident person. So when I saw that she was going to share her secrets to success, I couldn’t resist. But I STILL STRUGGLED!!!!! Another weight loss program???? I didn’t think it was the best time for me because of my schedule, but how could I keep ignoring her progress???
So I finally found the courage to reach out to Michelle, and let me tell you, I feel like a new person. Just last night someone said, “wow!!! retirement looks good on you!!!” I have lost 20 pounds and dropped almost 2 sizes in my jeans in just 12 weeks. Her program has absolutely given me the tools I need to change my life!!! I feel like I have leveled up in the last 3 months!
Michelle has been not just a coach, but a friend through all of this. She has created a program that not only helps you to lose weight, but teaches you to see life differently! Find the JOY, exercise your brain, take care of your skin, and show up for yourself!!! I am so glad I took the step to work with Michelle. Her program has changed the way I see my future.
Whenever you start any new type of program, it is exciting and motivating, but it's often really difficult to stay consistent. With Michelle's excellent communication and support, combined with her straightforward, easy to follow meal plans and strength training routines, she's really helped me to stay focused and locked in on my goal, better health and increased longevity. I see real, lasting changes in my habits and choices. The LongJOYvity education is the extra layer I didn't know I needed. Michelle's program is comprehensive, effective, and unique in all the best ways, and she is a terrific coach!
At the halfway mark of Michelle’s 12-week program, Fulfilled, I’m already down over 20 pounds and 13.5 inches and I couldn’t be more excited about the progress I’ve made!
One of the biggest surprises has been developing a genuine appreciation for simple foods, and actually craving them! Michelle’s meal plans are simple to follow, easy to prepare, and incredibly filling. I never feel like I’m missing out or depriving myself, which has made this journey feel so different from ANYTHING I’ve tried before. And I have tried it all!
And then there’s Michelle! Her support is unmatched, and our weekly calls have become a highlight of my week. We always have relatable, meaningful conversations that leave me feeling encouraged and understood. I love that Michelle has walked this journey herself, is vulnerable in her truths, has lost a significant amount of weight, and maintained that success. She now shares not only her knowledge and experience but also her heart with me and each of her clients. She has a special way of making you feel like you’re the only one in the room.
I’ve tried a LOT of programs over the years, but nothing has compared to this one. Michelle has created something truly different (something sustainable, encouraging, and rooted in real-life experience). I’m so grateful to be part of this program and excited to see what the next six weeks bring!
Fulfilled has truly been life changing for me. What makes her program so different is that she focuses on small, manageable changes, not perfection. She teaches you that repeating those small habits consistently leads to real progress, and that mindset shift alone has been incredible for me.
Michelle is loving, supportive, and honestly the best cheerleader you could ever ask for. Her weekly check-ins keep me motivated and accountable, and I always know she's there if I need encouragement or support.
Since starting her program, I've been able to start incorporating movement into my daily routine and become much more mindful about my protein intake, two things that finally feel sustainable instead of overwhelming.
This program has been such an incredible reset for me, both mentally and physically, and I'm so grateful for Michelle and everything she pours into helping others succeed!
Fulfilled is very thoughtful and supportive. The meals are simple, filling, and realistic for busy life, and the client portal is so well designed; it makes the program easy to follow and the communication so personal. I feel empowered and motivated, but not overwhelmed. I love the personal interaction and communication with Michelle. She is encouraging, intentional, and genuinely invested in her clients. The LongJOYvity education and information is so valuable, too! For the first time in a long time, I know exactly what to do and am actually following through. Every part of the program feels relevant to this stage of my life, and I would highly recommend it.
Fulfilled: A clear plan with close-proximity, personalized coaching and next-level support as you learn to break old habits, practice consistency, trust yourself, and change your relationship with food.
It’s hard to believe you’ll follow through when you’ve watched yourself get excited about a new plan, do really well for a couple of weeks, and then slowly stop doing the things you promised yourself you would do. I understand why you might be interested in coaching and still think, “But Michelle, what if I quit this, too?”
Downloading another meal plan or asking Chat what to do leaves you to handle those doubts and difficult moments on your own. Personalized coaching gives us the opportunity to look at what’s actually happening in your life, talk through where you’re getting stuck, and make your next steps specific enough that you know how to take them.
Over 12 weeks, we’ll simplify your meals, give movement a realistic place in your schedule, and practice responding differently when you eat more than you intended. We’ll work on keeping promises you can realistically keep, so your confidence has something to grow from.
You don’t have to show up already trusting yourself completely. We can begin with your willingness to try and build from there, together.
You’ll know what to do, and you’ll have someone to help you keep doing it.
Simple, satisfying meal guidance
You’ll have specific meals and repeatable options so you aren’t standing in front of the refrigerator at lunchtime, hungry and trying to invent something that “counts.” We keep things practical, filling, and simple, with room for foods you enjoy, and no tracking required.
Personal coaching around overeating, food spirals, & consistency as key to success
We’ll talk about the moment when an unplanned cookie becomes “Well, today is ruined,” or a restaurant dinner turns into a whole weekend of eating before your next restart. The goal is to help you recognize that turn and practice making the next best decision with your very next meal.
Movement that fits your actual week
We’ll give walking and strength training a realistic place in your schedule, including when and where you’ll do them, so “I should probably work out” becomes an actual plan you can follow.
Weekly coaching and connection
You’ll have space to ask questions, talk honestly about your week, and connect with a small group of women who understand why leaving food on your plate or returning to your routine after a difficult day can feel like a very big deal.
Regular check-ins and personal encouragement
I’ll check in with you personally and regularly, offer feedback, and help you recognize progress you might otherwise brush past. I want to know when you’re proud of yourself, and I also want you to feel comfortable telling me when you need help finding your footing again.
The LongJOYvity™ Method and longevity education
We’ll weave joy, consistency, sleep, nourishment, movement, and your future health into the process, so you’re building a way of caring for yourself that you can enjoy continuing for decades to come.
The LongJOYvity™ Method
You shouldn’t have to wait until you’ve lost the weight to start enjoying your life!
If every meal feels disappointing, every invitation feels like a threat to your progress, and every week feels like something you need to get through, it makes sense that you would have a hard time continuing.
This is where LongJOYvity™ comes into play. We deliberately make room for enjoyment, connection, and encouragement while you’re working toward your goals, because I want you to love the life you’re building along the way!
That might look like keeping your favorite treat in your week, meeting a friend for a walk you look forward to, or noticing that you got dressed without criticizing yourself before you’d even left the bedroom. We’ll celebrate those changes while you’re still working toward the next clothing size.
The LongJOYvity™ pillars and longevity education inside Fulfilled help you practice consistency, return to plan after imperfect moments, and find more joy in the journey.
I trademarked this word that I came up with, because I believe so passionately that joy is a vital and integral part of how we care for ourselves, both now and in the future!

Fulfilled is for women in their 40s and 50s who want to lose weight and are ready for more personal guidance than they’ve had with trying to piece things together by themselves.
You might know plenty about protein, walking, and drinking water, but still struggle when your day gets stressful or your plans change. You might be able to follow a meal plan until you eat something that isn’t on it, then have a hard time moving past that one decision. Or you might simply be tired of feeling like you’re always trying to lose weight without feeling supported and encouraged in the process.
You’re welcome here with those doubts. I’ll bring the guidance, encouragement, enthusiasm, and honest conversations, and you’ll bring a willingness to practice consistency and stay in communication, even during the weeks you wish you had a more impressive update!

Practice with personal support for 12 weeks
We’ll put your plan into practice with weekly coaching, regular check-ins, and encouragement as we work through the ordinary, unpredictable things that used to send you back to the beginning.
Yes, we’ll work on losing weight, and I want you to notice what else is changing, too!
I want you to recognize the evening when you enjoy a dessert and move on without making a deal with yourself about tomorrow. The morning you put on jeans without holding your breath. The busy afternoon when you follow through on lifting weights as you promised yourself you would, even though nobody else would have known if you hadn’t.
Those moments give you evidence that you’re learning and shifting, and they deserve to be noticed while we work toward your weight loss goals.
Individual results vary. Michelle’s personal results and the client experiences shared on this site are not a guarantee of any specific outcome. Your results depend on your health, circumstances, effort, and consistency.

Enroll in Fulfilled or Connect With Michelle FirstTell me what you’re frustrated with and tired of trying to figure out by yourself.
Maybe it’s the way one unplanned meal turns into three days of overeating, or the fact that you can keep commitments to everyone else but struggle to keep the ones you make to yourself. Maybe you’re simply thinking, “I really want this weight loss, but I’m scared I’ll let myself down again.”
You can tell me that! I’d much rather hear what’s really happening than have you feel like you need to sound motivated enough to deserve support.

I want you in the fitting room with your friends, excited to see which jeans you love. I want you loving what you see on the outside AND what you feel on the inside when you look into a full-length mirror. I want you to dive into the water with your kids, uninhibited!
I want you to have that moment when you realize you’re enjoying yourself instead of quietly wishing you could participate the way everyone else is. I want you to look in the mirror without immediately beginning a list of everything you need to change, and to enjoy a meal without spending the rest of the evening planning how you’ll make up for it.
Those things matter, and I understand why you want them.
I’m almost 50, and after losing and keeping off over 75 pounds in my late 40s, I know how meaningful it is to feel more comfortable in your body and more at peace around food. I also know how much easier it can feel to keep going when someone knows your story, checks in regularly, and is wholeheartedly excited to see you succeed.
If you’re ready for that kind of support, I would love to be your weight loss & longevity coach!
