My client Pooja lost 8.15 in just 16 weeks.

But that’s not the impressive part.

For years, Pooja would lose weight and then get stuck at 96kg.

Every single time.

She blamed her thyroid.
She thought she’d need to cut carbs.
And she hated cardio.

And when she first started training with me, she could barely get through a few reps before needing to stop and catch her breath.

Even climbing a flight of stairs left her breathless.

She was exhausted.
Frustrated.
And convinced her body was working against her.

But here’s what actually worked 👇

We didn’t cut carbs.
We didn’t put her on a miserable salad diet.
And we definitely didn’t make her spend hours on a treadmill.

Instead, we focused on the basics.

A nutrition plan built around foods she actually enjoyed.

👍 3 meals and 1 snack per day.
👍 A weekly cheat meal.
👍A 30g protein target at every meal.
👍 Plus strength training 2x per week
👍And for cardio we gradually increased to 12,000 steps per day.

That’s it.

No cutting carbs or extreme diets
Every week we focused on getting a little stronger.
A little fitter and a lot more consistent.

And then something happened.

Pooja stopped needing to pause halfway through a set just to catch her breath.

👏The woman who struggled to complete 3 reps was now confidently completing 10.
👏Her lifting technique improved.
👏Her stamina improved.
👏Her daily walks became easier.

And for the first time in years, she broke through the 96kg barrier that had been holding her back.

Today she’s down 8.15KG

But the biggest transformation isn’t the number on the scale.
It’s the confidence that comes from realising your thyroid isn’t the thing holding you back

And getting her stamina back to the point where she can effortlessly walk 12K steps daily and is almost able to walk up stairs without losing her breath!

The right strategy changes everything.

🙂‍↔️You don’t need to cut carbs.
🙂‍↔️You don’t need to do endless cardio.
🙂‍↔️And you don’t need to suffer your way to results.

You need a plan you can actually stick to.

You can spend years chasing success and still lose the one person you were doing it all for

Yourself.

Whilst I’ve still been active on my stories, behind the scenes I’ve been struggling. I’ve kept a lot of it hidden because I was too ashamed to admit that I didn’t have it all together.

The last three months have been a huge transition for me. I’ve been building a new career from the ground up and from the outside it may have looked like things were going well. But internally, I was struggling to keep it all together.

My nutrition hasn’t been great. I haven’t been eating properly, sleeping well, or taking care of myself the way I know I should. That’s something I’ve been too ashamed to admit, so instead I just kept showing up, hiding it, and getting on with things.

But two weeks ago, I reached a breaking point and felt like I hit a brick wall.

No one really tells you that in the pursuit of success, you can lose yourself in the process. You can be building something incredible on the outside whilst quietly falling apart on the inside.

So the next time you look at someone’s highlight reel, don’t assume they have it all together. We all struggle. That’s part of life. What matters is how you choose to face it.

Thankfully, I’ve built habits over the years that kept me going. Hitting the gym, eating well when I could, and having incredible family and friends. But even with all of that, it still wasn’t enough.

So I signed up to therapy, BetterHelp and honestly, it’s been one of the best investments I’ve ever made in myself. At first, it felt a little embarrassing because deep down, I felt like I’ve failed myself. But there’s nothing wrong with accepting help and I needed to remind myself of that.

Because sometimes growth starts with admitting that you don’t have all the answers.

If you’ve been struggling, just know that the only way from here is up 🫶

My client Ale lost 8.5kg in just 8 weeks during menopause.

When Ale first came to me, she’d been told by her doctor that she needed to lose weight to manage her symptoms

She was frustrated.

Her stamina was low.

She’d never lifted weights before.

And like many women going through menopause, she thought she’d have to spend hours doing cardio and survive on salads just to see the scale move.

But here’s what actually worked 👇

We built a nutrition plan around her goals and her stage of life.

She aimed for 30g of protein at every meal.

She didn’t cut out her favourite foods.

In fact, she still ate pizza regularly.

10,000 steps per day and no extra cardio

No spending hours on a treadmill.

Then we strength trained twice per week.

We focused on compound lifts like squats and deadlifts

Tracking her lifts through my app and increasing the weight/reps every week

Week by week, her form improved.

She got stronger

Her stamina improved.

She even started turning up for 6am training sessions.

And most importantly, she started feeling like herself again.

Today she’s down 8.5kg.

But the biggest transformation isn’t the weight.

It’s the confidence that comes from proving to yourself that you’re capable of more than you thought.

Because menopause isn’t the reason you’re stuck.

The problem is most women are given the wrong strategy.

You don’t need to eat less and exercise more.

You need a plan that is low maintenance and works with your body instead of against it.
