I used to be THAT girlâŚ
I once thought that a âdietâ had to mean extreme restriction,
Fad diets,
Cutting out carbs,
No chocolate absolutely evvvuuur,
(or any of the things that bring me joy lol).
Iâve said it before and Iâll say it again,
For most of you, your diet SHOULD have carbs in it.
Itâs one of our main sources of energy in the body,
So why would we need to cut them when if weâre trying to lose body fat,
We probably actually need MORE energy to complete our daily activities, right?
You donât need to cut carbs - you SHOULD actually be eating all of the food groups.
What you need is some structure.
Itâs not all restriction and the monotony of plain chicken breast and green veg.
So yeah, you CAN lose fat eating carbs.
A carb free life ainât one I can get behind, and it ainât one that helped me
(or any of the 100âs of women weâve coached here at LBC).
If you want to lose body fat and youâve been on the no carbs before Marbs train for FAR too long,
Shoot me a DM âCARBSâ and letâs chat about how I can help youđŤĄ
Lucy Brabin Online Coach
I help women learn the tools to build their dream bodies AND skyrocket their confidence levels đŤśđź
I remember when I started trying to lose weight 7 years ago,
And I tried many many times to crack it.
People cheered me on, UNTIL I was actually successful. ��When it was, all I got was:
âYouâre going too farâ
âYouâre boring nowâ
âWhy donât you wanna come for a bevvy?â
âWould offer you one, but you canât eat that can you?â
âThought you were on a diet anyway, why you eating that?â
Now, as well-intentioned as these comments could have been,
As Iâve gotten older and coached 100s of women to THEIR goals, I see it clearly for what it is.
When you start making changes to better yourself,
When you start prioritising your OWN needs above others,
When your opinions begin to change and what you find fun or interesting changes,
People start saying stuff like that.
And the reason why?��In a lot of cases, itâs because youâre proving that it CAN be done.
Youâre holding up a mirror to people and showing them all the s**t that theyâre NOT doing, even though they say they want to. ��Just know, if youâre on a fitness or fat loss journey right now and what youâre doing is what you WANT to do,
And more importantly - what youâre doing is having a positive affect on you and improving your life,
Drown out the noise and crack on.
Youâre never criticised by those doing more than you gals, I can promise you that.

Now, if youâve been following me for a while, youâll have already become familiar with my gal Jeanette!
But the last update was a little while ago now, and yaâll KNOW how I like to keep you in the loop, SOâŚ
Over the last few months, Jeanette has lost another whopping 22lbs.
Sheâs now 44.5lbs down in totalđ¤Ż
With 10 WHOLE INCHESđŽâđ¨ gone from the waist.
Now to recap, Jeanette knows better than anyone what itâs like to be âbusyââŚ
New baby in tow,
Running a busy hairdressing business,
Navigating how to make better choices for herself nutritionally so she can be fuelled for both of the above,
And doing it ALL whilst training from home,
Because again - her two huge commitments above make it difficult for her to actually get to a gym.
But instead of making excuses,
Sheâs adapted each week.
Has she focused on being perfect?
Absolutely not.
There have been weeks where workouts have been missed,
Where nutrition hasnât been perfect,
But sheâs carried on despite it and focused on what she can do better the following week.
She âcanât believe how much progressâ sheâs made,
And I think that itâs so important to congratulate that,
Show you that its entirely possible to achieve your goals even if youâre busy,
And results donât require PERFECTION,
They require problem-solving, accountability, and the aim to be just 1% better each and every week.
All of our ladies are at different starting points when they come to us,
But there are a few things that they all have in common:
They all want to feel confident in their own skin,
Because theyâve spent so long feeling like s**t about themselves and they KNOW that itâs no way to live.
They all want to learn to love what they see in the mirror,
Because the reality is, every woman should be able to love the reflection that they see staring back at them.
And they all want to learn how to lose fat in a way that doesnât mean they have to swear off a meal out with the family or a couple of wines with the girls.
If that sounds like YOU, galâŚ
LBC can help you.
I can actually GUARANTEE it.
If youâve been wanting to make a change for a while now,
DM me the word âRESULTSâ and let me help youđŤśđź
27/09/2023
You canât get upset at the results you didnât get, from the work you didnât do.
I know, I know - ya feel SEEN.
But the fact is, thereâs 13 weeks left of this year, girl.
I want you to think back.
What were the goals you set for yourself wayyyyy back in January?
Did you achieve them?
If you didnât, I know how hard this can be to faceâŚ
But itâs on you.
Iâm telling you this because I actually give a s**t.
Iâve been exactly where you are, giving myself every excuse possible as to why I didnât get the outcome I wanted.
I know the scriptâŚ
Youâre âtoo busy and works been manicâ.
Youâve been âwaiting for the kids to go back to schoolâ.
Youâve âgot too many social eventsâ.
Youâre not âmotivatedâ.
Girls, donât be the one to allow yet another year to pass you by.
We all have choices.
No matter how busy you are, you CAN make progress.
I can promise you that - I say it with my full chest.
But you have to take responsibility for your own choices,
And that includes the broken promises made to yourself,
The excuses.
The work that you didnât do.
Feeling confident in your own skin and loving what you see in the mirror requires taking action even when you donât necessarily feel âreadyâ.
Even if the timing isnât âperfectâ
(FYI - there issssss no fkn perfect time)
If youâre reading this right now and itâs resonating,
Just know, I get it.
Taking your eyes off the prize and getting lost happens.
But this is your sign to make the rest of this year count.
Your sign to finally work on YOU and what you actually want for yourself.
Thereâs plenty of time to get ahead and make real change that gets you started on the right foot,
Thereâs just no need to enter another new year in the same way you did last year.
It really is on you, because nothing happens without you making that first step.
If you need help making that step, my DMs really are always open for a chatâ¤ď¸

Everybody, meet Kate.
When she first came to me she was feeling down about her appearance,
Telling me that she wanted to make real lifestyle changes in order toâŚ
âLove my body more and feel confident in my own skin, which will ultimately improve my mental health and make me happierâ.
She was skipping meals,
Neglecting herself,
Trying to live her life eating salads that she didnât like everyday because she thought that was the ONLY way to âdietâ,
She was stressed out at work,
And cardio-bunnying her way through the week.
I knew that together, I could show her that there was another way to live.
So, myself and Kate came up with something better to suit her and create more impact than what she had been doing previously.
Something that would reduce her stress,
Give her more energy,
Get her prioritising herself and her own needs,
Provide more education around food so that she COULD eat the things she enjoyed,
Teach her how to train effectively,
And more importantly, get her falling in love with herself and her body again.
Weâre well on our way to building calories up from deficit to maintenance so that she can live even more flexibly.
This was never supposed to be a quick fix for Kate,
But something that she could implement into her lifestyle and keep forever.
I am so proud of all of her progress up until this point and canât wait to see all the rest to come!đ
And guess what?
It all started with her choice to start.
If YOU want to begin to feel more confident in your own skin and improve your lifestyle for good,
There are NINE spaces available to join the LBC Team on our FLOURISH programme.

Just because itâs a new year doesnât mean anything will change for youâŚ
Thereâs absolutely nothing wrong with looking at the New Year as a fresh start,
A new beginning,
An opportunity to do things differently.
But the reality is that itâs just that:
An opportunity.
YOU have to make things change.
YOU have to be the factor within your life that shows up and does s**t differently for things to actually change.
You canât just hope that with the New Year will come a massive shift,
JUST because itâs a New Year.
Unfortunately that just doesnât happen.
I canât tell you the amount of years I allowed to pass me by,
Hoping that with a new one would come a ânew meâ.
That by some miraculous stroke of luck
(Or whatever the FFFFF I was imagining it to be)
Iâd magically change.
Iâd suddenly feel confident in my own skin,
Iâd immediately take control of my life,
Iâd instantaneously be the kind of person I was dreaming of becomingâŚ
Disciplined,
Strong,
Comfortable showing up as me.
No longer hiding behind being the loud-speak-my-mind-donât-give-a-s**t-about-what-anyone-thinks-about-me bravado.
Believe me, I wasted years waiting for âthatâ moment.
It never did come.
Instead, it came from me.
You heard me right.
Change comes from YOU and what YOU choose to do.
Nothing changes, if nothing changes,
Whether itâs a new year or not.
If YOU want to make change,
Believe me, you absolutely can.
I know that because youâre looking at a girl who used to try and get out of P.E. relentlessly,
(Iâd rather do ANYTHING else back thenđ)
And my idea of exercise just 5 years ago was me exercising my thumbs, pressing flick on the channels on the telly whilst lying on the couch covered in Dorito dust.
Look, if thereâs anything you take into 2023 with you, take this:
Youâre more powerful than you realise,
MUCH more than you realise.
YOU hold the key to whatever it is you want to achieve,
And the truth isâŚ
Itâs all in your hands.
Once you realise that,
The game changes for you.
Play a bigger game than you even know youâre capable of just yet.
What are you waiting for?

Are you ready to lose fat for good?
To build your confidence,
Change your habits,
Love what you see in the mirrorâŚ
To finally FLOURISH?
Here are a handful of complete lifestyle transformations from some of the girls inside the LBC Team who have achieved just thatđđĽ
These ladies all have THREE major things in common:
â Theyâve all tried the quick fixes and fads that never got them anywhere close to their goals.
â They all lead pretty busy lives - just like you.
â They all thought theyâd have to give up their social lives and favourite foods to achieve their goals.
But each woman has their own unique set of circumstances,
Their own mental and physical goals.
What unites them is their pursuit to not just look amazingâŚ
But FEEL amazing in their own skin living a lifestyle that they loveđ§Ą
If YOU want tođđź
â
Drop body fat in a sustainable way that doesnât have you giving up your social lifeđˇđĽŠ
â
Build your confidence in every aspectđđźââď¸
â
Finally love what you see in the mirror and feel comfortable in your own skinđ
In the next 16 weeksâŚ
Shoot me a DM with the word âFLOURISHâ,
Iâll be in touch to book in your Discovery Call to discuss your plan of action to finally achieve the RESULTS YOU DESERVEđŻ

So, itâs almost THAT time again,
Where the gyms are packed and everybodyâs starting with those New Years resolutions.
YOU want to make a start too, but the very thought of stepping into a gym environment is enough to knock ya sick.
Right?
Â
You feel like everybodyâs watching you,
Â
Youâre not sure if what youâre doing is rightâŚ
Â
AND every time youâve been,
Â
You talk yourself out of venturing on over into the weights section anyway and end up jumping on the treadmill for half an hour,
Â
Finishing with a lack-lustre 10 mins on the bike for good measure,
Â
That never actually seems to reap you any rewards in the results department.
Look, most people feel the exact same way youâre feeling when they first start out - I promise!
But there ARE some things you can do to help alleviate that gymxiety youâre experiencingđđź
1ď¸âŁTrain with a friend
Training with a friend is a great way to take away the stress and anxiety related to training at the gym.
It will make you feel at ease and less âsillyâ - youâre in this together.
2ď¸âŁInvest in a Coach
Being supported, guided, and accountable to somebody helps you to get you started,
And helps to take away the anxiety around guessing what to do at the gym each time you go.
3ď¸âŁHave a plan of action
Whether you have a coach or not, donât go in blind.
Have a session planned out on your phone or in a notebook to avoid wandering around the gym stressing about looking like you âdonât have a clueâ.
4ď¸âŁResearch
If youâre not sure about how to perform an exercise, research it and look at multiple sources to do this - thereâs lots of form breakdown videos out there now, too!
5ď¸âŁAsk
If youâre unsure about an exercise or anything in the gym at all, ask an employee or even a gym member to guide you in the right direction.
On the whole, people at the gym are there to work on themselves and improve - theyâre pretty friendly people - so donât sweat about asking questions!
âŚAnd remember, youâre there for YOU, youâre there to better YOURSELF.
Donât worry about what Sheila and Andy are doing at the gym - worry about YOU.
If you need some help navigating the gym and changing your lifestyle, my DMs are openđŤśđź

This time last year VS. now for my girl âŚ
âJust wanted to thank you (I know I say it every time) for literally changing my life!!! Never felt more confident or happy in my life!!!â
THATđđźis what itâs alllllll about.
Truly.
Helping somebody to achieve the confidence that they never EVER believed possible for them.
Helping somebody to genuinely feel happy within their life.
NOT just because their appearance has changed,
But because as a result of stepping out of their comfort zone to make their appearance change,
Everything else has for them too.
During the time that we worked together,
Sarah proved to HERSELF that she was worthy of stepping into a gym,
That she was worthy of being treated like a Queen,
That she was worthy of wearing clothes that matched her personality,
That she was worthy of a new job,
That she was worthy of going after what she wanted,
That she was worthy of feeling amazing in her own skin.
Eternally proud of Sarah and all that she has achieved,
And everything she will achieve in the future.
So, so, proudđŤśđź
