The energy you once had feels distant. Clothes no longer fit the way they used to. Strength seems to fade with each passing year, and despite your best intentions, lasting change feels difficult—or even impossible.

You are not alone.

If you are a woman over 40 who feels your body has quietly changed—and you want strength, health, and freedom again—this book was written for you.

Many women over 40 quietly carry the weight of years of busy life, shifting hormones, and habits formed decades earlier. Over time, discouragement can settle in. We begin to assume this is simply part of ageing.

But it does not have to be.

In No More Excess Baggage, Mabel Chan shares her honest and deeply personal journey from being a lifelong couch potato to discovering strength, energy, freedom—and the restoration of joy in midlife. At age 44, overweight and physically unfit, she began a transformation that would lead to strength training, running, completing a half-marathon, and building a completely new relationship with her body.

This book is not about extreme dieting or punishing exercise. Instead, it offers a thoughtful and practical path to lasting change—physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Through seven simple but powerful keys, you will discover how to:

• Break free from the exhausting cycle of losing and regaining weight
• Build strength and muscle after 40 to support long-term health
• Understand the truth about food, calories, and nutrition without confusion
• Replace discouraging beliefs with truth and renewed confidence
• Develop sustainable habits that work with real life
• Restore energy, mobility, and joy in daily living
• Align your health journey with your faith and purpose

You will also learn why muscle—not just weight—matters for long-term health, and why many women are unknowingly becoming weaker as they age. By understanding this, you can begin building a stronger, more resilient body for the years ahead.

With honesty, encouragement, and practical wisdom, No More Excess Baggage offers more than weight loss—it offers strength, freedom, renewed confidence, and the quiet restoration of joy that comes from caring well for the body God has entrusted to you.

This concise guide is presented in a 60-page format (5.5 � 8.5 inches) designed to be read in a single sitting and revisited as you build lasting habits.

If you are ready to release the burdens that have been holding you back and step into strength, freedom, and renewed vitality, this book will guide you forward.

Start your journey toward strength, freedom, and renewed vitality today.

We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies.
