End of my fat loss phase 💪
At the end of June, I was 89kg today I’m sitting at 74kg.

Fat loss doesn’t happen where you want it to you can’t spot reduce (unfortunately) but that’s all part of the process. I might not look exactly how I imagined, but I’m fitter, stronger, and more confident than ever.

I began light training and gradually built up intensity. My focus:
⚖️ Calories around 1800–1900/day
🚶‍♀️ 7k+ steps a day
🔥 HIIT cardio at the end of sessions
🥋 Weekly karate lessons
Sometimes I didn’t meet this goals but I tried. Life happens.

Now, I’m moving into a muscle-building phase aiming to compete in a strongwoman competition in July (with a small cut before the event).

🧠 What I learned during fat loss:

✅ Actually weigh your food. Guessing leads to underestimating.
✅ Don’t rely on your watch for calorie burn. Track your intake, not your output.
✅ Progress isn’t just the scale. I went by how my clothes fit and energy levels felt.
✅ Enjoy life. I didn’t miss family meals, enjoyed takeaways occasionally, and still stayed consistent.
✅ Protein and balance are key.

When I do it again, I would definitely take body measurements and record my progress along the way. The scale doesn’t tell the whole story those small changes really add up!

Most importantly, I enjoyed the process. 💪

If you’re looking to start your own fitness journey whether it’s fat loss or building strength. I am now taking on online clients.

💙 Exercise can save lives – even after cancer.
A major international study found that people who exercised regularly after colon cancer treatment were:
✅ 28% less likely for their cancer to return
✅ 37% less likely to die in the next 8 years

And it wasn’t extreme fitness – just brisk walking 3–4 times a week for 45–60 minutes, or joining friendly group classes like Move it or Lose it.

Exercise works by reducing inflammation, boosting the immune system, regulating hormones, and improving mood and energy – benefits many of our members know first-hand!

🏃‍♀️ You don’t have to go fast or far – just keep moving, keep improving.
