Expectation vs Reality of getting LEAN ..
It’s not all abs, confidence and eating in a deficit.
It’s hard.
It affects your mood, energy, hunger and social life.
It takes time, hard work and dedication.
There’s so much out there on social media now of ‘toned’ physiques, getting lean and having that ‘Pilates body’.
But very few talk about what it actually takes and feels like.
I wanted to just clarify that and I’m not discouraging fat loss but I want to build trust with you and my clients by showing you that it’s not easy and struggling during that phase doesn’t mean you’re failing.
We got this girls 🤌🏼

Commitment builds progress. Obsession builds guilt ladies. There’s a difference. One is healthy the other doesn’t get you very far. I’ve been there.
The difference isn’t how hard you push—it’s how you respond when things don’t go to plan.
Consistency beats perfection. Every time.
There is no perfect plan or waiting until you don’t have any events planned. Because life WILL happen and things will crop up.
So how you handle that is what makes you progress or restart every time.
Learning how to live your life with enjoyment whilst still staying true to your goals is a SKILL and it will take time.
But once you start and realise the bigger picture and that it’s about commitment, then are you actually ready for the REAL PROGRESS.

How I stay consistent when I don’t feel like it..
I get asked all the time how am I so motivated.. truth is half the time I’m not.
1. Build habits & non-negotiables
2. Set the bar lower
3. Focus on identity, not results
Motivation fades but your systems will stay.
Remember the small actions still count.
Discipline is what builds self trust & with that consistency.
Consistency takes time and comes from habits.

Scale fluctuations are NORMAL. Fat loss happens over WEEKS, NOT OVERNIGHT.
Track trends, stay consistent, and don’t let one weigh-in throw you off ladies 👏🏼
It can be disheartening I know but the sooner you accept that daily fluctuations is all part of the process. The less you stress and the better the results. Otherwise it’s a vicious cycle. 🔁
I’m going through it RIGHT NOW. With my Photoshoot Prep - but there’s nothing I can do to prevent fluctuations and trusting the process is KEY.
It’s all about understanding YOUR body & building better mindset with the scales 🫶🏼

12 Week Deficit Complete. ✅ Greater Weight Loss Drop from Increasing Cals back up post 12 weeks 💁🏼♀️✅
This transformation shows you going through these different phases MATTERS. The deficit is important for fat loss yes. But so is the reverse diet.
Lisa has worked with me consistently for the last 12 weeks in a deficit and reversed diet up to her holiday.
She achieved her weight goal prior to the 12 weeks. But we didn’t stop there. She was ready to keep pushing and see where her results would end up. 💪🏼👏🏼
I’m so proud of this lady for trusting the process from the beginning. Even when weight fluctuates and is only dropping steadily.
It can be difficult to stick with it and not turn to panicking and slashing calories.
But she didn’t and because of this her results and her energy, hormones and strength didn’t get impacted and she reaped the rewards from it 😍
Lisa is now enjoying her holiday feeling confident in her skin. 👙
She is able to maintain her results while enjoying her self 💁🏼♀️
Knowing when she gets back from her holiday she isn’t coming back feeling like she has gone backwards or needs to restart. 🙅🏼♀️
Can’t wait to work with her further and keep seeing her confidence grow 👏🏼🤎

Fat loss isn’t about eating as little as possible. 👏🏼
The goal isn’t just to lose weight.
It’s to build a stronger, healthier body while doing it. 💪🏼✨
High protein = non-negotiable in a fat loss phase 🔥
Especially for women:
✔️ Helps maintain lean muscle
✔️ Keeps you fuller for longer
✔️ Supports recovery & strength
✔️ Makes fat loss more sustainable
Eat to fuel your body, not punish it. 🤍
Reminder: women should not fear food during a fat loss phase.
Protein is one of the most important tools for:
✨ preserving muscle
✨ improving satiety
✨ supporting hormones & recovery
✨ creating long-term results
STRONG > Skinny always 💪🏼👏🏼
What I’m eating in my Photoshoot Prep Weeks 1-2 … 🥗🥩🍳

My calories are currently 1597kcal dropping to 1500kcal in this next week.
Protein 148g
