50 Pounds Down at 60: How Shari Got her Confidence, Energy and Health back

In this episode of Weight Loss Simplified, Jennifer Powter sits down with Shari, a 60-year-old powerhouse who dropped 50 pounds at 5’2” without pills, restriction, or shame.

Shari opens up about how years of misinformation, failed diets, and emotional exhaustion kept her stuck. She shares how she went from hiding from photos and feeling hopeless to reclaiming her health, wearing a swimsuit for the first time in 15 years, and reducing medications—all through the SMART Method.

If you’ve ever felt like the exception to every weight loss success story, this conversation will show you what’s possible when you stop dieting and start healing.
