What is my definition of success?

That’s what someone asked me last week

And the answer is easy

1. Family, friends and quality time with both

2. Repairing the broken dieting industry one dieter at a time

Real success to me is combining those two passions into my every day

“Having it all” for me right now is being present with my little ones every day

And spending the rest of the pockets of my day with my clients and running my business

And because of that above, I can confirm I am successful, and I have it all

Wow - I’m grateful for this life

(PS only 2 of those are my kids hahahaha 🥰)

If December normally feels like one long food free-for-all followed by a January meltdown… this will save you

We’re talking festive eating, the emotional chaos of Christmas, and how to actually enjoy yourself without gaining half a stone over Christmas

Yes - you’re allowed the pigs in blankets, and celebration chocolate (quality street not allowed)

This is your roadmap to a fun, guilt free Christmas and a calm January

Comment below with the word CHOCOLATE and I’ll send over our Christmas special podcast episode 🤶

Ruth is doing something she’s never done before… keeping her weight loss going through December🎄

Usually, this is the month she gains half a stone. But this year?

She wants to step into January ahead, not 4 steps back

She knew without someone keeping her accountable, she’d just keep spinning on the hamster wheel

So she decided to pay someone she trusts (and enjoys watching on socials for a laugh) to give her the nudge when she needed it

Perfect

Her struggle used to be consistency with tracking

Busy days, stressful days, “I’ll start tomorrow” days… you know the drill

What we changed: simple, easy tracking hacks

Using the quick add feature on the app when life got messy. One small tweak at a time

The outcome? She’s now consistent, in a deficit, and seeing results she never thought possible

If you’re a menopausal yo-yo dieter stuck on the hamster wheel and want to step into January ahead instead of behind

DM me the word DECEMBER and I’ll show you how we can make it happen

1 packet of mini cheddars for Cody (my 2 year old)

Another for me

I said, “right, let’s sit down and enjoy these shall we?”

(Sit down? A 2 year old? You must be joking. But that’s not what this story is about)

That’s when I shocked myself

Wow, I’ve just eaten the entire packet before he’s finished 1 cheddar

It just goes to show how possible it is to inhale 200 odd calories without evening realising you’ve done it

Mindless eating is a real thing

I, as a nutritionist, who on a daily basis speaks to clients about food, snacking, eating and dieting every single day

Am susceptible

It’s not a weakness or a bad thing, it’s just the reality of the obesogenic world we live in today

And this is why I’m so passionate about my clients tracking their calories

The amount of clients that say to me within the first 2 weeks of working with me

“Wow, what an eye opener it’s been so far”

And I can’t stress what I’m about to say enough

If you want to not only lose weight, but actually keep it off forever next time

Awareness, education and accountability are powerful tools beyond measure

And tracking your calories covers those 3 birds in one stone

Tired of exercising more in the hope to lose weight? 🏃🏽‍♀️💨

Try horizontal cardio instead 🛏️

Share this with your gym buddy who’s over exercising too 🤣

Yes Louise is losing weight - that’s a given when you work with me, so do I really need to mention that?

But the real story here?

It’s the shift in who she believes she is

Louise has been on a diet pretty much her whole life

When she first found me online, she said she was drawn to my energy

She felt like she needed some positivity in her corner because deep down, she didn’t actually believe she could succeed

And honestly… if you’d heard our early conversations, you’d understand why her recent line

“I’ve no intention of not succeeding.”

Hit me right in the chest

Because that confidence?

That certainty?

That is not who she was when we started

The biggest thing we changed wasn’t her whole life, her whole routine, or her whole diet

It was this:

One thing at a time

No more trying to nail the perfect week from day one (or ever)

No more overwhelm

Just small, doable steps layered on top of each other

And slowly, everything started to shift

Louise is now seeing herself, and her life, through the lens of a glass-half-full person instead of glass-half-empty

It’s wild what happens when you finally get a plan that works with you instead of breaking you

If you’re an overweight menopausal yo-yo dieter who wants to drop a couple of dress sizes without the overwhelm, without the guilt, and without the constant hamster wheel,

DM me the word TIGHT and I’ll message you with how I can help you 🫶🏻

So last year I couldn’t fit into my normal jeans anymore

All my favourite leggings I wore were cutting my stomach in half

Going out and socialising was getting embarrassing

Wanna know why, and how and what I did about it?

I’ve recorded a podcast episode that explains it all

DM me the word POD and I’ll send you the link over 🫶🏻

Is this what’s keeping you overweight?

If you’re nodding along saying YES THAT’S ME

I might have something for you, so keep an eye on my page over the next week 🫶🏻

Two years

Two babies

Sixty-one old episodes gathering dust…

And Jambo and I are BACK🎙️

Our comeback episode drops tomorrow and we’re diving into what’s changed, why I ended up overweight again (yep, we’re going deeeep), what’s shifted in the diet industry since 2023, and all the messy, honest bits in between

Jambo and I can’t wait for you to listen to this one

Having “2 under 2” and running a business is not easy

There are so many moving parts to my day, and to my families week to make it work

But I’d have it literally no other way

Raising my babies and being 100% present with them

Alongside carving out time each day to take care of my clients (and tackling the broken diet industry one dieter at a time)

Is a blessing

And something that I don’t take for granted

So many people ask me “HOW”

And my reply is always: I dunno, we just make it work

I’m not going to conclude with “if you want it enough you’ll find the time”

Because that’s BS and makes me want to roll my eyes into next week

It takes commitment, adapting to the unexpected, stress management and unwavering support from those around me

And THAT is what a successful weight loss journey looks like too

Nobody ever has enough time, that’s a given

But if you’re so sure deep within your soul that you want to make something work and succeed

With the right help, support and environment, I believe anything is possible 🫶🏻

I know a lot of women sit right on that fence thinking:

“I do want this… but maybe I’ll decide later.”

If that’s you, no judgement at all

Honestly, most of my clients hovered for a little while too

It’s normal

But here’s the thing they always say afterwards:

“I wish I’d started sooner”

Because once the support is there…

Once someone is showing you what to do, keeping you accountable, helping you navigate hormones, life, work, cravings, Christmas, stress…

It suddenly feels possible again

And that’s the whole point of this offer:

Sign up for 6 months starting in January…
and you get the rest of 2025 completely free.

Not to pressure you

Just to give you a chance to walk into January already feeling lighter, clearer, calmer… instead of starting another year feeling behind

If you’ve been quietly thinking, “Maybe this is what I need”

This is your gentle nudge before the last 2 spots go

If you want the details, just DM me the number 2

Or even if it’s just to ask a question, ask it - promise I don’t bite 🫶🏻

Picture this…

It’s January

But not that January

Not the “I’ll start Monday… or whenever my motivation magically appears” January.

I mean the January where you button your jeans and think:

“Oh hello… they actually feel looser.”

Imagine walking back into work, or a night out, and instead of feeling like you’re dragging yourself through another “new year, new me” cycle…

you feel ahead

Because you didn’t wait for January 1st

You didn’t rely on that little spark of motivation that burns out faster than the most expensive scented candle

You know the one - smells great for five minutes, then suddenly… nothing

That’s what most women do every single year with weight loss

They wait. They stall. They hope next time will be different

But this year can feel easier

Calmer

More you

So… here’s my Not Another Black Friday Sale:

If you join 6 months of 1-1 coaching starting this January…

you get the rest of 2025 completely free.

Yes. The rest of 2025

Yours

You’ll walk into January already supported, already tracking properly, already knowing your numbers, already losing

Not starting from scratch

No stress. No pressure. No trying to “fix everything” in the first week of the year

Just gentle, steady weight loss that works with your life and your hormones… not against them

If you want your 2026 to feel different before it even begins

DM me the word BLACK and I’ll send you the rest of the details
