🟣 I messed up my fat loss challenge
Apparently 🤷‍♀️
You bloody know the feeling
You nail your week in the Callie D:
✔️ Structured meals
✔️ No weekend takeaway
✔️ A big ol stomp every damn day
But
You step onto those silly little scales smugger
Only to see the fucker has gone UP.
The heck?
I was in this spot last week
You may well be following my 30-day fat loss challenge on socials
Read more HERE about why I’m cutting cals whilst eating choccies to stick it to the topless algorithm twats shouting garbage at you in supermarkets
I’m currently on Day 14 of the challenge, looking forward to my Mateasers today (my all time FAVE)
But at the beginning of last week, despite a week of obedience
The scales had the audacity to tell me my weight was no different than when I started

Now back in the day I know that this would have had the potential to see me spiralling faster than a crafty kid with a Spirograph
How could I have put weight ON?
I’ll have to cut more aggressively next week
What’s the point? It’s clearly not working
And it would have had the potential to derail my fat loss journey completely
But actually to quit at that point would have had been depriving future me of heaps of progress
And low and behold, after sticking to it despite my scale being a sod - this week without changing anything & trusting the process, we are hitting new lows

This is one of the BIGGEST challenges I help clients like Elisabeth with
Elisabeth has been wiggling on Blitz your Bits, our online group program since May last year, and this is the reality of what her weight loss journey has looked like

I’ll do the quick maths for you
The scale has gone up 11 times since we’ve been working together.
But overall?
She’s dropped over 17kg
But without someone in her corner, at any one of these 11 scale increases she could have thrown in the towel
Could have assumed that she wasn’t cutting hard enough
That the changes she’d made weren’t working
That the scales were never going to drop any lower ever again
But she’d have been wrong
And look at all the progress she would have missed out on
Lucky for Elisabeth she was working with us & coach Katie on the Blitz Your Bits program
Feedback every week meant that when these unhelpful thoughts crept in
We could chat it through, make a plan, and get right back to it the following week, without crashing out
So, in weekly check-in style, I want to sign off with a pep talk just for those of you feeling disheartened by scale weight
Hi there my precious pickle
Friendly reminder that the amount of gravity pulling down on you is just one silly little data point in the bigger picture
So although your scale weight might not have budged this time, just think about a couple of other things for me
How’re your clothes feeling? Bet they’re feeling a touch more comfy
How’re those energy levels? What’s that, you chose the stairs?
How’re you feeling in yourself? Better than when you started? Thought so
So come on neggie Nelly, back yourself
You’re headed in the right direction, you just gotta keep wiggling
Now imagine a pep talk like this, every week. That’s what Elisabeth got by signing up to Blitz your Bits, and that’s what’s you’ll get if you bag yourself a spot.
We’re opening up the doors on the 12th of May, so click below to find out more
Fair warning though, we’re in high demand and have sold out the last 16 times to the priority list on the Bits app. So if you’re serious about getting involved, you’ll need to sign up to be on the list for the first release
Off to source a Spirograph, I’ve got a hankering in my soul now ffs
Big love
