What if losing 100 pounds didn't require shame, extremes, or misery?
In this powerful episode of the Fit Over 50 Life Podcast, we sit down with Jonathan Ross—multiple-time Personal Trainer of the Year, creator of FunTensity, author, and internationally recognized fitness educator—to talk about what actually works when it comes to lasting weight loss.
Jonathan's story is deeply personal. He grew up with parents who weighed over 800 pounds combined, and he lost his father at 424 pounds. That experience shaped his life's work: helping people lose weight in a way that feels human, sustainable, and even enjoyable.
In this conversation, we cover:
Why weight loss fails when it's driven by punishment and shame
The biggest lie people tell themselves: "I've tried everything"
How small changes + time create massive transformation
Why willpower isn't the problem—and never was
The role of environment, habits, and hyper-palatable foods
How to reconnect health goals to what you love and who you love
Why fitness should feel more like play and less like torture
How curiosity, fun, and community can unlock consistency
The mindset shift that turns "starting over" into real momentum
This is one of our most honest, emotional, and inspiring episodes—especially for anyone who feels stuck on the weight-loss hamster wheel or believes it's "too late" to change.
If you're over 50 and want a healthier body, more energy, and a process you can actually stick with… this episode will change how you think about weight loss.
