Fat loss takes time. You didn’t wake up one day, suddenly heavier than you were. It’s an accumulation over time, so it’s going to take time for it to come off.
This client and I have been working together since August and she’s officially down 30 #!
We started with two hours of training a week, after a few months, we integrated tracking, taking her calories down from around 2000 a day, which was keeping her at maintenance, to 1800 calories.
When we started to stall, we adjusted her step count aiming for 6,000 step count/day average. When she said it was too much to balance with her work schedule during the week we opted to add more activity to the weekends instead of keeping a consistent 6,000 steps a day throughout the week.
When she started to plateau again, we adjusted her calories again, down to around 1600/1700.
When she started to feel too restricted by the calories we adjusted to undulating calories (eating more some days and less on others).
We’ve made small, manageable changes along the way. We didn’t derail her entire life for the sake of fitness and all it took was patience and a little compromise.
Now she’s got definition coming through (what’s up triceps!), more muscle than she’s ever had and her ‘problem areas’ are no longer a problem.
Excellent work sticking to it, enjoying the process and being patient!

Body recomposition, when we put on muscle while losing fat, can be a tricky thing. Clothes start fitting better, definition starts showing up and yet... the scale barely moved. That number not budging doesn’t mean you’re not making progress! The scale doesn’t know the difference between a pound of muscle and a pound of fat!
Steven’s weight is about a 1/2 Lbs difference between these two photos and yet he’s in desperate need of a belt!
He trains with my 30 minute group class twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays and tracks his steps, aiming for around 7,000 a day, and is reaping the benefits of throwing around some weights!
