I’d keep it simple:

10-20% calorie deficit- Enough to create progress without making life miserable.

08-1g protein per lb to help with fullness and maintain muscle.

Strength training 2-3X per week.

Plenty of daily movement and steps.

Foods I actually enjoy, including meals out and the occasional drink.

Looking at progress over weeks/months, not panicking over one weigh- in.

Most importantly, I’d give it time.

You don’t need to be perfect for 12 weeks. You need to be consistent enough for long enough.

The goal isn’t just losing the 10kg.

It’s losing it in a way that means you don’t have to start all over again.

A few pictures that sum up this group pretty well 👯‍♀️

It’s not just about what happens in the gym-

We work hard, definitely, but there’s also plenty of laughing, jokes and generally having a good time together.

We had the most fabby time cocktail making together on Saturday.

On Wednesday we multitasked between sets and trying to catch the solar eclipse ☀️🌙

I think that’s what makes training so much easier to stick to- when you actually enjoy the people you’re doing it with.

As always I feel super grateful to be the one to help these ladies and create a space where they feel confident and strong.

All you need is a bar and a stop watch.

A dead hang can give you an insight into grip strength, upper body strength and relative strength- how strong you are in relation to your own body weight.

You might weigh the same.

But if you can hang from the bar for 40 seconds rather than 10 seconds..

You’ve got stronger. That’s progress.

It’s also a reminder of what your body can do.

More Strength
Better Grip

Winning.

If you’ve reached your 40s or 50s and feel like all your weight has suddenly shifted to your stomach, you’re not imagining it.

This is why so many women tell me:

📣 ‘I’m eating the same’
📣 ‘I’m exercising more’
📣 ‘Nothing works anymore’

The truth is, your body has changed. That doesn’t mean fat loss is impossible- it means your strategy needs to change too.

Instead of chasing endless cardio and restrictive diets, focus on:

💪 Building muscle through strength training
🍗 Eating enough protein
🚶🏻‍♀️ Staying active every day

With the right approach, you can still build strength, improve your body composition and feel confident in your own skin.

The point of this post isn’t to say life is hard, so don’t bother.

It’s the opposite.

I have hard days, feel unmotivated, I lack in confidence.

But I still show up. I still train, even if it isn’t my best session. I still choose the meals that align with my goals more often than not.

I still do the uncomfortable things because I know they’re the things that help me grow.

Consistency isn’t about being perfect.

I don’t have it all figured out.

It’s about continuing to show up when life is busy, messy, and far from Instagram-worthy.

That’s the bit you don’t always see online.

Growth isn’t built on the days you feel motivated.
It’s built on the days you don’t… and you choose to do it anyway.

On Tuesdays the SGPT ladies wear pink or black 😆💗

Week 1/6 of the next strength block & the ladies have started strong.

Fitness should give you freedom, confidence, and improve your quality of life.

If you’re chasing extreme levels of body fat means more food obsession, more guilt, less energy, poorer training, and a worse relationship with their body.

Aim for a body you can actually enjoy living in, not one you have to suffer to maintain.

Tracking calories but not seeing the results you expected?

It could be how you are tracking?

The truth is, calorie tracking is a brilliant tool- but it’s only as accurate as the information you put in it.

Here’s a few common mistakes:

Eating completely different meals every day, making it harder to track consistently.

Relying heavily on packaged foods, where the label are estimates and small inaccuracies can add up over time.

Focusing on calories and forgetting about protein. Two meals can have the same calories but leave you feeling completely different. Prioritising protein helps keep you fuller, supports muscles, and makes sticking to your calorie target much easier.

Underestimating meals when eating out. Restaurant portions, oils, sauces can vary, so if there’s a calories range on MFP available, always recommend tracking the higher option. It’s a simple way to create a buffer and avoid accidentally underestimating your intake.

It isn’t about being perfect- it’s about being consistent enough to make informed decisions.

Which of these do you think could potentially be holding you back?
