95kg ➡️ 86.7kg.
Around 3 weeks left of the diet before I start pushing back up again.
Probably one of the most enjoyable diets I’ve done. I’m more relaxed with food on the weekends, cardio is kept to Monday–Friday 5x per week and weekends are just about getting my steps in.
My goal was never to get absolutely shredded. I wanted to pull some body fat off, get myself into a good position and then spend some proper time focusing on putting more muscle on.
Training is probably the part I’m enjoying most at the minute. I’m really enjoying finding what works for me, what I enjoy and what I can actually progress.
With the amount of information out there now, it’s so easy to get overwhelmed. The perfect split, perfect frequency, perfect exercise selection, optimal this, optimal that.
Sometimes keeping things simple, being consistent and finding what works for you is all you need.
8.3kg down, feeling good and I genuinely haven’t felt like I’ve had to suffer to get here.
Another 3 weeks, then the focus switches to growing 📈

💭 If I could go back and give my younger self five pieces of fitness advice… this would be it.
When I first started, I thought progress came from:
❌ Training more.
❌ Changing programmes every few weeks.
❌ Being perfect with my diet.
❌ Waiting to feel motivated.
I couldn’t have been more wrong.
The biggest changes came when I focused on the boring stuff…
✅ Showing up consistently.
✅ Eating in a way I could actually sustain.
✅ Staying patient when progress slowed.
✅ Building discipline instead of relying on motivation.
Fitness isn’t about finding the perfect plan.
It’s about sticking to a good one for long enough to let it work. 💪🏼
If you’re just starting out, I hope this saves you some of the mistakes I made.

Thought I’d mix things up and actually introduce the bloke behind the page… 👋🏼
I’m Brandon, a Personal Trainer based in Derby. Most of what you’ll see on here is training tips, nutrition, client results and a bit of my own journey.
When I’m not coaching, I’m pretty easy to work out…
☕ Drinking enough caffeine to concern most people.
🍔 Thinking about my next meal while I’m still eating the current one.
⚽ Watching football and pretending it doesn’t affect my mood.
🎮 Loading up the PlayStation to “relax”… only to spend the next couple of hours wondering why I even turned it on in the first place. 😂
I like to keep fitness simple. No fads, no nonsense, just a realistic approach that gets results and fits around real life.
That’s pretty much me summed up. Now… back to the fitness content. 💪🏼

✅ Want to know why some people lose fat… and others stay stuck?
It isn’t a secret supplement.
It isn’t a “fat burning” workout.
It isn’t cutting out carbs.
Most people simply haven’t mastered the basics.
🏋️ Lift weights.
🥩 Eat enough protein.
🚶 Stay active.
📊 Control your calories.
📅 Stay consistent.
None of these are flashy…
But they’re the things that get results.
Before looking for another shortcut, ask yourself:
How many of these boxes can you honestly tick off every week? 👀

🍽️ One off-plan meal won’t ruin your progress.
One meal will never be the reason you don’t reach your goals… just like one healthy meal won’t magically transform your body.
Too many people avoid meals out, birthdays and family occasions because they’re scared of “falling off track.”
The truth is, for most people, an off plan meal can actually be beneficial.
✅ It gives you a mental break from dieting.
✅ It makes your nutrition more enjoyable.
✅ It helps you build a healthy relationship with food.
✅ It makes your diet sustainable long-term.
The real problem isn’t the meal…
It’s convincing yourself you’ve “ruined everything” and letting one meal turn into a whole weekend of poor choices.
Enjoy the meal. Make the memories. Then get straight back to your normal routine at your next meal.
That’s how real, lasting progress is made. 💪🏼
Remember: You don’t need to be perfect, you just need to be consistent.

🚨 It’s Sunday… which means thousands of people are saying, “I’ll start tomorrow.”
Sound familiar? 👀
Every Monday starts with good intentions…
🥗 “I’ll eat perfectly.”
🏃 “I’ll do cardio every day.”
🚫 “No takeaways.”
💪🏼 “This time will be different.”
Then life happens.
One meal off plan…
One missed workout…
One busy day…
And suddenly it’s…
👉🏼 “ I’ll start again next Monday.”
The truth is, you don’t need another Monday.
You need a plan that fits your lifestyle and one you can actually stick to. 💯
Results don’t come from being perfect…
They come from being consistent, even when things don’t go exactly to plan. 📈
So before you tell yourself you’ll “start tomorrow”…
Ask yourself:
❓What’s stopped every other Monday from working?
