James lawrence and the fat loss secrets

Wingardium Gym-iosa

Unfortunately there’s no magic way to lose fat

No spells like Snackus Rejecto exist to make dieting easier

The real magic and the real secret is realising this

There aren’t really any big hacks and anyone telling you otherwise is lying

They are like the Voldermorts of the world - they think they are helping and doing the right thing

In reality they making it worse and always get found out by someone who knows what they are doing in the end (Neville)

It would be nice if we could wave a wand and get to where we want to be

We can’t though and have to focus on real change

There’s just things that help and work and things that don’t

The magic is in the processes

When you make mistakes that then make you better 

The small things that add up over time 

-Making small changes to foods
-Getting more steps in around your lifestyle
-Being aware of calories
-Finding some exercise you enjoy

Most of the time, around 9¾ of the time, It’s having a plan, structure and accountability around the little things that does the trick 

And the secret potion is consistency

Overlooking the basics to find some magic that doesn’t exist is slowing you down 2025-09-22 23:06:38 James lawr.. 0 -100% 3 -38%
Small changes, big results

Ever felt like things aren’t clicking?

That things just don’t work for you when trying to lose weight?

You put loads of effort in, but get little back

It’s more common than you think

The majority of the time we need to make some small tweaks

Holly was stuck when we started coaching

She had already lost 3 stone, but then after she got married, her weight bounced up and down between the same few pounds 

Since starting coaching, Holly has lost another 44 pounds (just over 3 stone)

Whenever we look at fat loss, we look at what works for someone

What they can be consistent with over time

And what tweaks we and compromises we can make to make it work and get the fat to come down

Holly has a busy job, meals out once or twice most weeks and the odd weekend away too

She wanted to lose weight, be the fittest and healthiest she can be and generally wanted to look and feel good - while still being social

When you’re so busy, it can be easy to slip onto making the odd poorer choice without realising how much of an impact it can have

For Holly it was biscuits and crisps in the evening and then a few blood orange ciders on the weekend 

Holly has since lost 44 pounds, started running (building up to 6km, gotten stronger and dropping multiple clothes sizes - while still keeping her lifestyle

Mainly by making these compromises:

-Planning meals and snacks ahead of time
-Keeping calories lower around socials
-Swapping her cider to gin, most of the time 
-Increasing activity and really pushing steps
-Then having the odd week where we have extra pushes

It’s important to note her weight has fluctuated, sometimes staying the same for a week or so - BUT she always stays consistent and the weight always comes down

The way she looks has completely changed, everyone around her has noticed and she feels fantastic too

Her confidence has increased

She is healthier

And she’s feeling the best she has

Holly has built it into her lifestyle and the progress she has made both physically and mentally are just phenomenal 2025-09-21 22:31:05 Small changes.. 53 +11% 18 +272%

You aren’t stuck

Just because you aren’t where you want to be, doesn’t mean you can’t get there

It’s a journey of trying to be better and finding what works and doesn’t

I’d bounced up and down the scales many times before getting to where I am now

You might think that you’ll never get to where you want to be

I’m here to tell you you can

10 years ago I’d never had thought I’d be able to look how I do or run marathons or enjoy training like I do now

Because I’d never done it

Even 7 years ago after doing bodybuilding, I thought I’d be stuck bouncing up and down the scales for the rest of my life

When I powerlifted I thought I’d always live with pain and be overweight

It was only when I made that lifestyle change 5 and a half years ago to work towards how I really want to look and feel that I actually saw the progress and got to where I want to be

It’s a process and a journey

But when you commit to it - you can absolutely make the changes you want 2025-09-19 22:47:37 .. 63 +32% 2 -59%
Wake the flock up

Tracking calories doesn’t mean you don’t eat nutritious foods

We don’t just live on biscuits and crisps

Counting calories is a tool to help lose weight

It isn’t for everyone, but for most people, it’s a good place to start because it gives you an understanding of the calories in food

And to lose body fat, you need to be in a calorie deficit

When you’re trying to lose weight, you can eat foods like biscuits or chocolate or whatever you want to include - as long as you create a calorie deficit 

That doesn’t mean you should just eat those foods though

You should aim for mostly nutritious foods - whole foods, lean proteins, fruits, vegetables

The foods you eat will influence how you feel

Eating more nutrient dense foods will give you more energy 

While ultra processed foods that have poor nutrition, will do the opposite 

Yes some foods will influence how our body works too (protein will help maintain and build muscle which is beneficial to health and fat loss)

That’s why it’s important to get most of your food 

Tracking calories doesn’t mean just eating as much of the “unhealthy” foods these influencers demonise as possible

It just gives you the flexibility to still include them in moderation so you can enjoy your diet more 2025-09-18 22:22:14 W.. 43 -10% 2 -59%
“I didn’t post them because I looked fat”

It can be extremely hard when you don’t feel confident in yourself

When you take photos, look back at them, and don’t like what you see

Or when you try on a dress and feel low so “have to put a brave face on just to go to the party”

Those two quotes are kelliecalladine1 exact words about how she used to feel

The bikini photos she didn’t post because she didn’t like how she looked on holiday last year, then the pink dress from a friends Birthday

When you feel like this, it has a big knock on effect on your confidence

When Kellie started coaching, the goal was to lose weight, feel comfortable in her clothes, be fitter and stronger and work towards her wedding day

The big thing was making it part of her lifestyle so she could keep the results

Kellie so far has lost 25 pounds to look and feel incredible

Kellie is a paramedic so works long days and shifts, including nights

At the start of coaching she hated the gym - now she loves it

We’ve kept it really simple and focussed on the BIG things that matter

-Planning her week to fit workouts in around shifts. Making workouts easier at first and building them up over time
-Tracked calories and made sure she planned ahead to take food to work with her
-Working around the many socials she has
-Doing more steps on days off when there is more time, while also squeezing them in where she can at work

Then just being extremely consistent 

Over the last few 6 months Kellie has seen massive progress from small tweaks and changes

🔹25 pounds down
🔹Dropped dress sizes
🔹Is stronger and fitter
🔹And feeling brilliant on her hen do

The Marbella version of Kellie, is healthy, happy, stronger and who she wants to be

Kellie said she felt amazing

Same pose, new person

Being able to let her hair down on her hen do and still have churros - something she’d have felt guilty for in the past (swipe across for her favourite photo)

The changes have been next level and I’m very proud of Kellie and what she’s done

Now it’s a push ready for her big day! 2025-09-17 23:01:05 .. 54 +13% 5 +3%
How does coaching work?

I share a lot of results but I don’t often share how coaching works and exactly what you get

The main aim is of course to get you to your goals in the best way possible

Coaching is completely 1-1 

It’s not a group setting, you don’t work with anyone else - it’s just you and me

Why does that matter?

It’s completely specific and tailored to you

It’s personal

We tweak and change things to make it enjoyable and to make it work for you

It also means you get a hell of a lot of support, which is what makes it different to other coaching:

🔹Daily accountability on WhatsApp

I speak to clients daily, answer questions and check in on them throughout the week

At most you’ll only wait a few hours for replies (I spend most of my time messaging clients)
It helps you stay  consistent 

🔹A weekly check in which goes into detail about the last week and we look ahead at the next week so you’ve got things to work on and so you’ve got a solid plan

You get video feedback (not just a crappy message)

🔹We focus on 3 key areas:

-Lifestyle and habits
-Nutrition
-Exercise

We set realistic targets so you can focus on the process

For most people we track calories alongside other nutrition targets (protein, fruit and veg) and I’ll look at your food and give you small tweaks to make

Tailored workouts around your goals and what you like, all in an app so you can track progress and I can hold you accountable

Planning ahead for socials and so you can still have fun while making progress

Making compromises not sacrifices

We look at small lifestyle changes which can have a big impact - stress, scheduling, habits

This is why the people I work with get fantastic results, because it creates a sustainable lifestyle

And the cost? About the same as a daily Pumpkin Spiced Latte - not bad for nearly 13 years experience 2025-09-16 23:36:49 .. 0 -100% 0 -100%
Unfiltered tips

Say tips, they are just things you can start from right now to help

You don’t need to do all of these things

Even just a few are going to start nudging your progress in the right direction 

The last slide is the most important

There’s no “secret” to fat loss, here is a lot of the information you need to know

Of course, it’s all well and good knowing these things 

But how you get them in place is the biggie 

This is where coaching comes into play

We look at you specifically and what will work for you and your lifestyle 

Put the right things in place

Then keep you accountable to them

If you want just information and tips - this post is what you need to get started 

If you want support and accountability- that’s where coaching takes it to the next level 2025-09-15 23:00:46 Unfiltered ti.. 0 -100% 0 -100%
Making it a lifestyle is important

We all like to go out for food

You might like the odd glass of wine

A holiday every few months

Being able to grab lunch on the go

Most diets don’t allow you to do these things 

Most workout programmes want you to workout more than you can fit in when you’re busy

If you don’t allow yourself to do these things, you will struggle

It was important for Ellie to still be able to do these things

Ellie lost 40 pounds in the run up to her wedding and so she could feel the best she ever has

She dropped multiple dress sizes - making a killing on vinted might I add 

And she’s the fittest and strongest she’s ever been

That’s not all

She’s went out for food every single week

Had many many holidays and hen dos 

Had alcohol most weeks

Genuinely just still enjoyed life, not being over restrictive

We made it part of her lifestyle so while yes, she had to make some compromises, it was all manageable 

There’s a few things we did to make sure Ellie could still do all of those things while losing 40 pounds:

1 - planning ahead for the week for workouts and food
2 - looking at food menus ahead of time
3 - making compromises on certain things to still enjoy it
4 - thinking long term, not just short term

Ellie dropped 40 pounds but we also looked at other ways to measure progress like her clothes, progress photos and how fit she is

All of which saw huge improvements and helped her to see how much progress she is making

Habits and consistency which she’ll be able to keep forever

Ellie has kept these habits up post coaching which means she’ll never go backwards 2025-09-14 22:04:25 Makin.. 124 +159% 1 -79%
The Dad Diaries

We are halfway

One thing we’re getting is a lot of advice from people

Which we both really appreciate - as new parents it’s good for us to get the tips from people who have done it before us

However, just like with health and fitness - there is ALOT of conflicting advice

I think as long as we get the basics for the health of the baby, we have to find our own feet based on what works for us and from the tips we get

The spa was needed

The more time we can spend with each other now, the better

I’ve started clearing out the baby room ready to start decorating

It’s been a whirlwind few weeks so being able to just relax and spend time together has been nice

Life is 100mph and it’s only going to get more full on, so we are savouring these moments

Feeling refreshed and ready for a big push for the end of the year, supporting clients, with my own training and of course - baby prep 2025-09-12 23:24:40 Few days with my girl.. 76 +59% 1 -79%
Anti-influencer 

I love coaching

Just not the way the fitness industry is

I’m just not like most coaches

Social media portrays coaches or influencers to be pretty much perfect

It’s the way they put themselves across

The issue with this is that you feel like you need to be the same

It makes you feel like you have to do all of the things and be perfect to see any level of progress

It’s important for you to see that not all coaches are working an hour each day then spending 4 hours in the gym

That we don’t all have perfect looking meals (mine honestly look like slop on a plate sometimes)

We don’t all have 4000 different gym outfits

We aren’t all T-total 

We don’t all order the acai bowl when we go for meals

I’d say I’m relatively normal

Yes I train hard and have been since I was 17 - 14 years now

Yes I make better choices

But at the end of the day, I’m human

Not some fitness robot

If more coaches showed this - it would make it a lot easier for you too 2025-09-11 23:35:25 Anti-.. 49 +2% 1 -79%
Are you too busy to lose weight?

“I’m too busy to lose weight”

“It isn’t the right time”

There never is

There can always be something that stops you from making progress

Whether it’s family, socials or work

This is where we learn to work around things and focus on what you can control

Kate is very busy with work

Working away in different countries, a few days a week, every week

There’s a lot of travelling and living on hotel food and meals out

Then when she’s home, seeing her partner, friends and family

Pretty much non stop

Yet she’s still lost 20 pounds and dropped dress sizes

In the past hiltonkate has always worked different shifts and tried diets like SW which never really worked, because when she was busy or tired, it was easy to just not do it

Kate wanted to lose weight, get more toned but also learn about nutrition and exercise so she could keep results long term

We’ve worked on finding what works for her and how she can make better choices 

Planning her weeks as much as possible so we can see what Kate can realistically fit in to her week

Looking at calories on menus or going for the choices we know are lower in calories - tracking as accurately as she can

Then using lower calorie days when she’s at home and not got socials

Some weeks are much easier to manage than others, but on those harder weeks we just look at what she has control over 

Workouts and steps are planned into the week to fit them in but we recognise that some days are lower than others but look at the weekly targets rather than just daily

Kate has fully embraced the idea of “what can I do?” - rather than writing weeks off because she can’t do everything

Kate has lost the 20 pounds and built up to be able to run over 5km

All because she’s had that mindset and challenged the idea of not having time

Never miss twice

Missing the odd target here or there doesn’t ruin progress

Going over your calories once or not hitting your steps once - doesn’t ruin progress

Do you know what does?

Letting that spiral into days and days of hitting the f**k it button 🔴

There will be times where things may go slightly out of your control

Or you have a bad moment

You’re human 

But stop letting that ruin your week

If you miss a target - never miss twice

Make sure you push to hit it the next day to keep the habit alive

And to keep making progress 2025-09-09 22:57:58 Never miss twice.. 20 -58% 0 -100%
Your Monday reminder

That 2 pound jump you’ve seen on the scale isn’t body fat

2 pounds of fat is roughly 7000 calories which is

31 hamburgers or
147 chicken or
80 glasses of Prosecco 

That’s how much you would have had to go OVER your calories to put on 2lbs of fat this weekend 

This is why a meal out or a few drinks won’t ruin your progress

Seeing that two pound jump though can throw you off if you don’t remember this

You feel like you’re back at square one because your weight has gone up over the weekend 

You almost feel like throwing in the towel

You either massively restrict, or you think what’s the point and give up

The thing is

Those extra 2lbs won’t be body fat

Especially if you’ve been remotely close to your calories by banking and making some better choices

If you’ve had food and drinks or had a takeaway, you will be holding onto more water due to the higher salt and carbs 

Some of the actual food you ate may still be in your system

Maybe you ate later than usual

If you’ve drank alcohol then the quality of your sleep will be poorer 

These will all have an impact 

I always weigh more on Mondays because we go out for food over the weekend

There’s no need to panic 

To put on 2lbs of fat you need to consume a lot of food or drink a lot of alcohol

After having a meal out you will weigh more for a few days, even if you stayed within your calories for the week

But then it goes back down as long as you get back normal

Don’t think you’ve ruined your progress because of that 2 pounds

Don’t let that 2 pounds make you give up

The only thing that will ruin your progress is letting that jump on the scales make you give up

Instead, get back to normal as soon as possible and the weight will drop

As long as you’re not going over your calories by a lot consistently, you will not put on fat

Being in a calorie deficit for 2 days won’t make you lose 2lbs of fat 

Just like eating over your calories slightly for a day won’t make you gain 2lbs of fat

Weigh yourself more regularly and look at average weights rather than just one set weigh in a week

And stop beating yourself up for having a life 2025-09-08 23:08:28 .. 18 -62% 0 -100%

Do something that works for you

Advice online is doing you dirty

They’re giving you generic advice and making out you can only lose weight by cutting foods out 

Then replacing those foods with ones you don’t really like

Amy had lost weight in the past but always put it back on because she hated the diets 

She didn’t recognise herself anymore and her energy was non existent 

“I just want to feel like me again”

Her confidence was at an all time low but everything she tried ended up with her back at square one

There were three problems Amy had

-She hated exercise
-She hated most ‘healthier’ foods
-She loves eating out

Pretty much writes off all of the advice you see online

Vegetables were a no go

Workouts were a chore 

Whatever she tried she couldn’t stick 

It always felt more like prison than trying to lose weight 

She need something that suited her lifestyle and what she did like

We started with small changes each week

It was never a complete big change, just small changes which have snowballed over time

Amy did 3 things to lose a huge 23 pounds and keep it off

-Added short workouts into her week
-Tracked calories and ate foods she enjoyed while adding more nutritious food in slowly
-Increased her steps with daily walks

By making small changes and learning about calories the physical changes have been insane

Over time she’s included more foods into her diet because it didn’t feel forced

We found something she can do and that she wanted to do

Weight is down
Body fat is down
Energy is up

The weight loss is just one part of it

Amy feels healthier and is confident to wear clothes she wants without feeling self conscious 

You don’t need to change your whole life to fit a programme

You don’t need to stop enjoying life

You don’t need to live off chicken, eggs and vegetables 

It never lasts

The programme should work for you

If you want to lose weight and be more confident, make small changes 

Do things you can manage and don’t make you feel like you’re in a diet and exercise prison

On Monday I’m running a Free fat loss course

It’s not aimed to help you lose 10 pounds in a week

But set you up to be able to lose weight sustainably, while making it part of your lifestyle

It’s going to give you what you need without any of the fluff that you usually get online 

We’ll be doing a 10ish minute lesson each day that you can watch at anytime though a link

The lesson is going to teach you the basics and what you need to know around some of the most important things for fat loss

Lesson 1 - How fat loss works - calories, eating less and moving more

It covers how to work out your calories and what you can do to burn more calories day to day

Lesson 2 - Best types of exercise for fat loss

How you can set up your exercise to get the best results

Lesson 3 - Making dieting easier

People find dieting hard, even when they have all of their calories worked out. We want to make it as easy as possible which is what this lesson digs into

Lesson 4 - Working around your cycle

Important if you feel like your hunger and energy fluctuates throughout your cycle. I go into things you can practically do at different points to manage your diet and exercise 

Lesson 5 - Weekends and socials

We all love a social, they can however, slow progress down or stop it if you don’t know what to do

Lesson 6 - Lifestyle switches and mindset - beyond diet and exercise 

What everyone needs to learn

It will be ran through a private facebook group so then you can ask questions in the comment section 

If you don’t have a facebook account, you can just make a throw away account to use just for the course

If you want to get involved and can commit just 10 minutes a day to change your life

Comment the word - “me” below, and I’ll send you the link to join by Sunday to join

It’s free, what have you got to lose? 2025-09-05 00:54:46 On Mo.. 37 -23% 66 +1,264%
Take a lifestyle approach 

Losing weight while still going for meals out, drinks, weekends away 

Is a difficult thing to juggle

They can seemingly throw a spanner in the works

Calories for drinks and meals out can be so high, then how you feel the day after can make it hard to make better choices

Then if you don’t really enjoy going to the gym and find motivation low, losing weight seems impossible

It isn’t

Olivia is very social - meals out or drinks every week

Weekends away every couple of weeks

And when she started coaching, she had lost her love for the gym and just didn’t like going

Yet she has lost 22 pounds

And seen massive physical changes too

To the point where jeans that didn’t fit a few months ago, are now too big

Here’s what we’ve done

We’ve looked at calories as a weekly target, not just a daily target

Those social weeks we can plan ahead for and keep calories lower on some days to accommodate more calories when out

Olivia has drastically reduced the amount of takeaways she has too and plans them in rather than just randomly having them

Planning meals has helped with this

Then making compromises at events - not sacrifices 

Looking at menus ahead of time, picking slightly better choices and then planning days after drinking

Olivia now loves the gym

Going from hating it, to enjoying it

We’ve avoided exercises she hates and found a balance of what works and what she enjoys

It doesn’t feel like a chore like it did before

This is why it’s important to make it a lifestyle
It makes the process of losing weight easier to stick to so Olivia has been able to nail it

Extreme loss, extreme rebound

Most of you watching this need a lifestyle approach to fat loss

What you do needs to work around family, social events and still keep some enjoyment there

I’m not saying going hard with dieting can’t work, it just needs to be controlled and managed

We do short term pushes with clients but there is always an end game, we might do a few days or weeks when they hit plateaus

But the rest of the time, their diet is more lifestyle based

Trying to do things like cutting out carbs and telling yourself you can’t eat certain types of foods, will make it impossible to stick to long enough to see a meaningful result

Most people can do it for a week, some people 2 at a push

Then have one thing they have cut out and just go straight back to old ways

The 9 pounds you lose, quickly comes back on

You then get stuck in the cycle of huge restriction, followed by overeating

Up and down the scales like a rollercoaster

Losing the same few pounds over and over again

You need to find an approach that works around your lifestyle - not always jumping from extreme to extreme

And if you are going to do something like low carb, you need to build better habits around food first and have an exit plan so you don’t gain all of the weight back

Oh and please don’t try to give yourself food poisoning 2025-09-02 23:08:22 Extreme loss, e.. 56 +17% 1 -79%
There are 4 months left of the year

It’s the 1st of September

Two thirds of the year has past

In January people set resolutions

A lot of the time around health and fitness

When it comes to this point in the year, people tend to write the rest of the year off if they aren’t closer to their goals or if they didn’t stick to their resolutions 

But you shouldn’t do that

There are 4 months left of the year

In 4 months you can change your life

You can build better habits around food and exercise

Lose a lot of weight 

And head into next year in a much better position to what you are now

4 months closer to where you want to be, rather than 4 months further away

It’s 17 weeks left and you shouldn’t disregard those weeks just because it’s already September

Just start with those small things

Set a goal for the end of the year

Start looking at your calories

Try to get out on more walks and track your steps

Eat more protein, fruit and veg

Plan to do some workouts

And just aim to be consistent 

In 4 months time - you’ll feel like a new person 2025-09-02 00:02:02 There are.. 44 -8% 0 -100%
Check out these wins

Every so often I like to just highlight how well clients are doing

And they are doing very well

For me this is what coaching is about 

Getting people the results like these and making them feel great about themselves

There’s a system to how we get the progress like this

It’s mainly about meeting clients where they are at

Not giving them too much too soon which they wouldn’t realistically be able to do

Giving them the support they need with pretty much daily accountability for everyone

For some people they send over photos of all of their food for the accountability and then feedback on how to improve it

For others it’s assessing form videos for exercises

Then others it’s just giving them a nudge to make sure they are doing the things they say they would

From my years of coaching this is what it needs to be

A personal approach

Even with coaching there isn’t a one size fits all approach because everyone has different needs and needs support in different ways

Everyone has different problems we have to work through

For me - it’s about finding what works for each individual person

Then giving them the push and belief they can do it

As long as people come into coaching with an open mind and a willingness to make small changes - they will always get fantastic results 2025-08-31 23:17:53 Check out t.. 19 -60% 0 -100%
The dad diaries 

An exciting but stressful week

We’ve been for the gender scan today - although we haven’t found out ourselves 

Managing stress around scans is a biggie for us with what happened last year

Talking to each other to manage the anxiety around scans, especially for Jess, has been important

For me - exercise is massive to help 

We can’t remove stress, but can try to deal with it as best as possible 

Jess was craving an ice blast which meant a drive to the cinema just to get one 

Then we’ve been to look at clothes too, just to get an idea 

It’s just one week until we find out the gender

By a few, I mean, enough to pull out the sketchiest dance moves you’ll see

Who am I kidding, I lost track after I finished off my hip flask

I don’t drink all of the time 

In fact, I probably only drink every couple of months, some months it’s more, sometimes less 

I can quite happily go months without drinking if there’s not an event I want to drink at

BUT there are times where I flip that switch and just let go a little, or Jess would argue a lot

There’s a good reason for it

We are human

Granted, you can’t do this every week

Sometimes it’s best to make the better choices, choose to not drink and go for the lower calorie option to work towards your goals

If you’ve got a big goal to work towards and are pretty social, you are going to have to make compromises at social events 

Then on the other side there are times you should absolutely just enjoy yourself and work around things outside of the event

You don’t need to be sitting at a wedding tracking the amount of potatoes they put on your plate or the prosecos that you’re banging down

You can if you want to, but it isn’t needed

The whole point of creating a lifestyle around things is to be able to work around certain events before and after they happen and then just be present in the moment and enjoy yourself

You can still make better choices with alcohol or the buffets if you want to

But it is ok to let your hair down once in a while
Then get back to normal

It’s what I do myself and help clients to get to too

If what you’re doing doesn’t allow yourself to just enjoy your life at times, it’s time to reassess what you’re doing

P.S - there is a completely reasonable explanation behind the first photo 2025-08-29 23:12:20 .. 99 +107% 3 -38%
I yo-yod for years

Not being happy with how I looked and although I exercised and was relatively fit, I was actually obese 

It held me back for years and I just didn’t feel good

I spent so long focussing on things that didn’t really matter - supplements, the exact exercises I was doing, the time that I worked out, my heart rate when training, how much I was sweating, eating “healthier foods”

It was only when I looked at what actually mattered - calories, daily movement and consistency - I started to see progress

Focussing on those things as well as sleep, stress and food quality is what worked

I always thought there was a quick fix
The people I looked up to in the industry were always onto the next big thing 

HIIT training, strange diets or doing extreme diets and exercise

I thought that if that’s what they were doing (it actually wasn’t) then it would get me the results too

I didn’t believe that anyone was just looking at calories and focussing on daily movement - it sounded to simple

But they were

I wanted to do something that would drop the weight as quickly as possible, but in reality it was always going to to take months and not weeks

When I realised that and committed to the time, I was able to stick to things

I used to be all or nothing

I was either losing weight or not

Avoiding social events, cutting foods out and training twice a day

It was just never sustainable which meant I’d last a few weeks at most, then give up

I only saw results that lasted when I built fat loss around my lifestyle

Working around social events, still eating foods I liked and finding exercise that I loved 2025-08-29 01:21:50 I yo-yod .. 34 -29% 0 -100%
