As October is Menopause Awareness Month, I thought I’d share something a little more personal with you all. As you see me coaching, training and encouraging new ladies to look after yourselves, but in the past, I’ve often hidden my own struggles because I wanted everything to look like I had it all together. But life isn’t perfect, and neither am I! Perimenopause not me for six and I’ve shared a little of my own experience in this video and caption, including what I struggled with and what helped me and where I am now. You can watch my real and read my full story here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DeqlEBsixng/?srtk=YmdkaG11cjUzN2p1 I’m sharing this because I know how easy it is to think that you’re the only one feeling this way. And I’d love to open up the conversation here too. Has perimenopause or menopause affected you in ways you didn’t expect? Feel free to share below or if you prefer message me privately to share your experience or have an questions 💛

Evening ladies, A quick question, are you only using the scales to measure your progress? Because sometimes you’re making more progress than you realise, but the number on the scales isn’t showing it! I’m just added a new check-in sheet to the Fat Loss Classroom called “Tracking Your Progress Beyond the Scales.” It covers other ways to recognise your progress, including how your clothes fit, measurements, photos, energy, sleep and strength, along with how to track them and how often. It’s so easy to get caught up on that number on the scales and overlook all the other positive changes you’re making. I’d love to know apart from the scales, how do you currently measure your progress? Pop your answer below and if you’re not sure where to start have a look at the check-in sheet or message me and I’ll give you some guidance 💛

Is there something you promise yourself you’re going to do every week, but no matter how many times you try, you just can’t seem to get it right? You start the week with good intentions, determined this week will be different, but by the Wednesday or Thursday things get in the way and you find yourself back in the same situation again. Maybe it’s getting your workouts in, sticking into your meal plan, drinking more water or getting into bed earlier. What is the one thing you keep trying to achieve each week but never quite managed to nail it? Pop it in the comments below or if you’d rather, send me a private message. Let’s look at what’s getting in the way and work on some practical solutions together so you can start achieving what you set out to do each week 💛

If you’ve ever found yourself in this situation, I completely understand how frustrating it can be. You’re putting in the effort, try hard harder and harder to lose weight, but nothing seems to be working and you’re not seeing the results you want 😫 You can end up feeling exhausted, disheartened, frustrated, possibly even putting on a little more weight and thinking, “what’s the point?” In my latest video in the Fat Loss Classroom, I’ve gone through some of the reasons why this can happen and what to look out for when it comes to your habits, behaviours, actions and mindset. The idea is to help you recognise what could be holding you back and where you might need to make a few changes. Remember, this is isn’t about being perfect. It’s about understanding what works for you as an individual, building habits you can maintain and find a way to lose weight and more importantly, keep it off. 🎬 Head over to the Fat Loss Classroom and have a watch. If you’ve got any questions, please either pop your question in the comments or you can message me privately 💛

At the start of the week you probably had a few things you wanted to achieve this week, maybe getting your workouts in, planning your meals, getting more steps in or going to bed a little earlier. But as the week gets busier, these promises you made yourself can sometimes start slipping further down the list. So I want to know… What tends to trip you up at this point in the week? 🥱 Is it tightness creeping in? 🤯 Work gets getting busier? 🥡 Not having meals planned? 🤔 Or simply forgetting about what you said you’re going to do. And is it the same thing that keeps coming up each week? Maybe you’ve noticed you always get stuck on the same day, in the same situation or when the same thing happens. If there’s a pattern there - let’s identify it because then we can start looking at what you can do differently next time. Pop yours in the comments below or message me privately and I’ll give you some practical ideas to help you work around it rather than finding yourself in the same situation again next week 💛
