Bits & bobs from the past 2 weeks 💛

These photos are proof that the scale doesn’t tell the full story 👇🏼

In both of these photos, I am the same weight, same person, but have a completely different physique. But how may you ask?

Because over time I’ve built more muscle and reduced my body fat percentage.

The scale only tells you your total body weight, it doesn’t tell you:
✨ How much muscle you’ve gained
✨ How much body fat you’ve lost
✨ How your body shape has changed
✨ How much stronger you’ve become

This is why chasing a lower number on the scale isn’t always the answer.

You can stay the exact same weight and completely transform your body through strength training, progressive overload, proper nutrition and consistency.

So if the scale hasn’t moved lately, don’t automatically assume you’re not making progress 🙂‍↔️

Take the progress photos, track your measurements, and pay attention to how your clothes fit.
Because sometimes the biggest transformations happen without the scale changing at all 🤍

If you’ve been eating less and less but still not seeing the results you want, this post is for you 👇🏼

One of the biggest mistakes I see women make is assuming that if they’re not losing fat, they need to eat even less.

But sometimes the problem isn’t that you’re eating too much, it’s that you have been under-fuelling for far too long 🫣

🚩 You’re constantly thinking about food
🚩 You have no energy for your workouts
🚩 You’re hungry every night
🚩 Your progress has stalled
🚩 You’re tired, moody, and running on empty

Fat loss shouldn’t feel like punishment 🙂‍↔️

Your body needs enough fuel to train hard, recover properly, build muscle, manage stress and actually sustain results long term.

Remember: the goal isn’t to eat as little as possible, it is to eat as much as possible while still making progress. 🤍

Have you ever experienced any of these signs?
