6 weeks. 5.8lbs down. And I definitely didn’t put my life on hold to do it 🙌

When I started my Back to Basics challenge, the aim wasn’t to have 6 perfect weeks.

It was actually the opposite.

I wanted to prove that you can lose weight while still having a life.

And over these 6 weeks I’ve had meals out, drinks, weekends away, family occasions, takeaways and days where my calories were considerably higher than planned 😂

But I kept coming back to the basics.

My biggest win?

10,000+ steps EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

42 days without missing one 👏

My averages came out at:

1,343 calories a day
109.4g protein a day
11,240 steps a day
3+ litres of water a day

And the result is 5.8lbs off.

I’m not finished yet either.

From here I’m going to gradually increase my calories week by week while continuing to work towards my weight loss goal, keeping my steps up and putting more focus on protein and fibre.

Because if there’s one thing I want you to take from these 6 weeks, it’s this:

You do NOT have to choose between losing weight and enjoying your life.

You don’t need to be perfect.

You need to be consistent enough that the meals out, drinks and higher-calorie days are part of your life, rather than the reason you give up.

That was the whole point of this challenge.

Real life. Real results. ❤️

7 STONE 10.5LBS lost in August! 🤯💗

That’s 49.7kg between my amazing slimmers and I think this one deserves shouting about because, quite frankly, August is HARD.

Summer holidays. ✈️
Kids off school.
BBQs.
Meals out.
Drinks in the sunshine.
Routines completely out of the window.
And some of the hottest temperatures we’ve experienced in years! 🥵

Yet the slimmers contributing to this total dug deep, stuck to their plans and kept going when it would have been so easy to say, “I’ll start again in September.”

And look where that decision has got them. ❤️

They’re heading into September lighter, closer to their targets and incredibly proud of what they’ve achieved.

Swipe to meet my August Top 5…

🏆 Amanda — 20lbs
🏆 Abbi — 16.5lbs
🏆 Alison — 14lbs
🏆 Annette — 10.5lbs in ONE WEEK!
🏆 Andrea — 7.25lbs

And YES… apparently you needed a name beginning with A to make my leaderboard this month. 😂

I promise this is entirely coincidental and I do accept slimmers from the remaining 25 letters of the alphabet. 🤣

But I also want to give a massive shout-out to the people who aren't on these slides. I have slimmers who may have lost smaller amounts or maintained through August, which in itself is a huge achievement.

And I have others who've had an overall gain over summer & that's okay too.

Because they're not waiting for Monday. They're not throwing in the towel because summer didn't go quite to plan.

They're getting straight back into it. 💪

A gain doesn't erase everything you've achieved before it. A holiday doesn't mean you've failed. And you absolutely do NOT need to wait until January to do something about it.

Summer is over. September is here. 🍂

New routines.
Fresh focus.
And plenty of time to make a difference before the end of the year.

To every single one of my slimmers, whether you lost, maintained, gained, smashed every goal or simply kept showing up…

I'm proud of you. ❤️

And to those who dug particularly deep throughout August when sticking to plan was probably the LAST thing you fancied doing, look how much closer you are to your target because you didn't give up.

Now… who's ready for September? 👀💗

4lb down in August… and I’m genuinely really pleased with that 💗

Because August has been BUSY.

Birthdays 🎂
Our wedding anniversary 🥂
Exam celebrations 🎉
Meals out
Nights out
A baby shower
Family BBQs
Parties…

I’ve had more of a social life this month than I normally have all year 😂

And yet… I’m still 4lb down.

Could I have lost more if I’d stayed home, turned down every invitation and followed everything perfectly?

Probably.

But that’s not the life I want.

And it’s definitely not the kind of weight loss I want to promote.

I don’t want to have to choose between losing weight and actually living my life.

That’s what this Back to Basics challenge has really reminded me.

There have been higher-calorie days.
There’s been alcohol.
There have been meals I haven’t tracked.
There have been scale tantrums 🙄😂

But instead of thinking “I’ve blown it”, I’ve just gone back to my basics.

💧 Minimum 3L water
🚶‍♀️ 10,000+ steps
💪 Prioritising protein
🥤 My 1:1 Diet products
✨ Creatine & collagen
❤️ And most importantly… consistency, not perfection.

And somehow we’re now heading into the FINAL WEEK of my six-week challenge!

I’m off work this week too, so my biggest challenge may actually be keeping myself busy enough that I don’t visit the kitchen every 5 minutes 😂

One week. One last push.

Not to punish myself for the celebrations.
Not to “make up” for anything.

Just to keep doing the things that make me feel good and see where I finish.

4lb down. Real life lived. No regrets. 💗

If you’ve been waiting for a quiet month to start because you’ve got meals out, birthdays or plans coming up… maybe you don’t need a quiet month.

Maybe you just need a plan that can work around your life.

THE SCALES SAID +2LBS. MY JEANS SAID SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT.

And yes… I had a tantrum. 😂

After a week averaging:
💗 1,424 calories a day
💪 98.1g protein a day
👟 11,118 steps a day
💧 3+ litres of water a day
…I stepped on the scales and saw TWO POUNDS ON.

Was I rational about it?
Absolutely not. 🤣

Was I stomping around thinking “WHAT IS THE BLOODY POINT?!”
Absolutely yes.

And this is coming from someone who spends her working life reminding women that scale weight is NOT the same thing as fat loss.
Oh, the irony. 🙄😂

Because when I stopped sulking and looked at the actual evidence…

My waist is 1.5 inches smaller.

My hips are 1.5 inches smaller.

My jeans are hanging off me.

A size 10 dress I haven't worn for ages fits again.

And the size 12 jeans I ordered last week? Too big.

Then this morning I was suddenly 1.6lbs lighter than yesterday.

Did I lose 1.6lbs of fat overnight? Of course not.

Just like I hadn't magically gained 2lbs of body fat either.

Daily weight can fluctuate for all sorts of reasons, and I'm also taking creatine, which can increase water stored in the muscles.

So my official four-week loss might only say 1.6lbs.

But my body, and apparently my jeans 😂 are telling a much bigger story.

This is exactly why I encourage my clients to look for non-scale victories and not let one weigh-in decide whether their weight-loss plan is “working”.

Sometimes you have to practise what you preach.

Trust the process.

Look at ALL the evidence.

And keep bloody going. 💗

Om the plus side, I managed to fit into my size 10 Lipsy dress last night which I haven't been able to wear for ages so I'll take that as my win as its normally quite tight on the stomach.
I felt totally comfortable all night which was lovely and some of my friends that I hadn't seen since I've lost my weight said I looked 20 years younger.

I mean they clearly didn't have their glasses on, to not see the huge crevices in my face but I'll take it! 🤣

Week 3 of my 6-week Back to Basics reset is DONE… and I’m really, really happy with this week.

I’ve lost 2lbs this week so 3.6lbs in total now, and I’m also down another inch from each thigh.

This week I’ve averaged around 1,161 calories a day, but more importantly I’ve also averaged 108.4 grams of protein.

I’ve also stopped adding protein to the shakes as they were giving me stomach issues so I’m really pleased I’ve been able to keep my protein above 100g a day without any supplement.

My steps have averaged around 10,400 every single day and I haven’t missed a single day of this in the last 3 weeks. That’s sometimes meant I’m on the treadmill at 11:30 pm but needs must.

I’ve had at least 3 litres of water every day and when I say at least, that really has been my bare minimum. I’m drinking 3 of these a day as well as multiple cups of tea.

And I’ve kept up with my creatine and collagen every day too.

So nothing particularly dramatic!

I haven’t spent hours in the gym or meal prepped 47 tupperware boxes on a Sunday. I’ve just literally just been doing the basics… consistently.

And I think that’s my biggest takeaway from Week 3.

We can spend so much time looking for the thing that’s going to make weight loss quicker or easier, when sometimes we just need to go back to the things we already KNOW work and actually keep doing them.

My ultimate goal is to be back in the 9 stone bracket as the last time I was under 10 stone was in April 2024.

It’s not looking likely I’ll do this by the end of this challenge but I fully intend to carry on when this challenge is done.

I’m off to Krakow in 6 weeks time for a long weekend and so if I can be in the 9s by then I’ll be over the moon.

This week, I have a pre-planned night out with some old work friends on Saturday in a new cocktail bar / restaurant in the village so I will enjoy that but the rest of the week I’m going to be a top student!

3 weeks down. 3 weeks to go.

No words to describe how proud we are of our boy.

Passes across the board for his AS Levels and well on his way to Cardiff Met next year to study Sport and Physical Education before a PGCE to become a PE teacher.

He is the most chilled out, joker of a kid that you could ever meet, but he has his whole life planned out already and I just know he will achieve anything and everything he puts his mind to.

So proud of you Fin Gough

Right… Week 2 results are in, and I am genuinely SO pleased with this.

My weight is exactly the same. Like… to the ounce.
And normally you might think, ‘Well, a maintain isn’t much to celebrate…’ but honestly, after the week I’ve had, I’m absolutely over the moon with it.

Last week was basically one long celebration. We had birthdays, our wedding anniversary, meals out, drinks, family time. It has without a doubt been the busiest week for occasions I’ve had all year.

I haven’t been perfectly on plan, far from it, but I have consistently kept some of my basics going.

I’ve done around 80,000 steps, I’ve kept up with my creatine and collagen, and whenever I could make a better choice, I did.

And even though the scales haven’t moved… my measurements have.

I’ve lost another two inches, one inch from my hips and one inch from my upper arm.

Well… technically four inches, considering I’ve got two of each! 😂

So after a week of pretty much non-stop celebrations, I’ve maintained my weight, lost a few more inches AND enjoyed myself.

And I’m genuinely really, really pleased with that.
Because THIS is what losing weight around real life looks like.

Some weeks are going to have events that throw you off track, and I don’t want to stop living my life just because I’m trying to lose weight.

But this week is a completely different story…
I have got NOTHING planned.
No birthdays.
No anniversaries.
No meals out.
No celebrations.
NOTHING! 😂

So this week I can really knuckle down, get right back to basics, stick to my plan properly and see what I can achieve when I’ve actually got a clear run at it.

I maintained through celebration week…

Now let’s see if I can get a really good loss for Week 3.

Back to basics. Let’s go! 💗

The first week of August did not disappoint! ❤️
