Week 1 for Melissa 👏🏼

A busy week, a tired mum, and plenty of reasons why things could have gone off track.

Instead, she focused on the basics.

Meals were prepped and ready to go, which meant she wasn’t skipping meals and then ending up starving by dinner. It also meant fewer cravings and less mindless snacking at night.

She got two workouts done, including one at 7:30pm after her baby had gone to bed. Not because she felt amazing. Not because she was bursting with energy. Because sometimes the only time available is the time you’ve got.

One thing I loved from Melissa’s check-in was that she recognised how much easier nutrition became when the preparation was already done.

Most busy mums don’t need a better meal plan.

They need food in the fridge when life gets hectic.

No perfect week.
No all-or-nothing mindset.
Just small actions repeated consistently.

That’s a bloody good start.

Follow along to watch Mel shine!! ✨

Week 1 for Shannon ✔️

No crazy transformations, no perfect week and no magic motivation.

Just a mum of two showing up..

A couple of rough nights with the kids.
A bit too much caffeine (must have been the week for it 🙋🏻‍♀️)
Some meal prep.
A few workouts.
A walk with the pram.
And learning that eating the kids’ leftovers probably adds up more than we think 😂

One thing Shannon mentioned was how much she enjoyed our group call this week. Hearing other mums talk about the exact same struggles was a reminder that she’s definitely not doing this alone!!

This sponsorship is all about showing what fat loss actually looks like for a busy mum in real life.

Stay tuned if you want to see this beautiful mum get her spark back!

Unpopular opinion:

If your coach does absolutely everything for you, you’re probably not learning much.

I’m not saying coaches shouldn’t provide support, guidance, accountability and structure.

They absolutely should.

But my goal has never been to create women who need me forever.

My goal is to create women who can back themselves.

Women who understand:

• how to build a plate
• how to navigate weekends and holidays
• how to adjust calories when needed
• how to structure training
• how to maintain results
• how to get back on track when life inevitably gets messy

Because life WILL get busy.

Kids get sick.
Work gets hectic.
Holidays happen.
Motivation comes and goes.

If the only reason you’re getting results is because someone is telling you exactly what to do every day, what happens when that support disappears?

A huge part of what I teach inside The M**F Method is self-sufficiency.

Yes, you’ll get personalised training.

Yes, you’ll get nutrition guidance.

Yes, you’ll get support, accountability and coaching.

But you’ll also learn why you’re doing what you’re doing.

You’ll learn the skills required to maintain your results long after coaching finishes.

I’ll be the first to admit I’m not the right coach for everyone.

Some women want a meal plan forever.

Some women want every decision made for them.

That’s completely fine.

I want my women leaving coaching more confident, more educated and more capable than when they started.

Because the goal was never to help you lose weight for 12 weeks.

The goal is to help you keep it off for the next 12 years.

If that sounds like the type of coaching you’ve been looking for, complete the Fit Form in my bio.

Can we talk about “protein balls” for a second.. Because most of them should honestly be called fat balls (I know you’ve been victimised by fat balls too we’re all friends here).

Every time I see a recipe claiming to be “high protein” I look at the macros and it’s something like:

Protein: 4g
Fat: 12g
Calories: 180

Don’t get me wrong - fat isn’t bad. But if your goal is fat loss, those little “healthy snacks” that are marketed well can trick ya and chew through your calories VERY quickly while doing bu**er all to keep you full.

So I decided to create a version that actually (almost) earns the title of protein ball…

BIG FAT CHOC FUDGE PROTEIN BALLS

Makes 10 balls

Ingredients:

* 60ml Queen Sugar Free Maple Syrup
* 80ml Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almond Milk
* 90g FwdFrm Chocolate Lean Vegan Protein
* 5g Just Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (Aldi)
* 60g Byron Bay Crunchy Peanut Butter
* 90g Almond Flour
* 50g Dairy Milk Chocolate

Method:

1. Add all ingredients (except the coconut oil and chocolate) together and mix until a thick dough forms.
2. Roll into 10 equal balls.
3. Melt the choc and the coconut oil and dip each ball in.
4. Refrigerate until firm.

Note: I used a vegan protein powder for this recipe. If you’re using a whey protein powder you’ll likely need less almond milk, so add it gradually until you get a dough-like consistency.

Per ball:

159 calories
10.5g protein
4.8g carbs
11.1g fat

Save this one for when the chocolate cravings hit.

High protein + fibre breakfast options for mums who usually run out the door with a coffee… then wonder why they’re face first in the pantry at 4pm.

One of the biggest things I see with busy mums trying to lose weight is skipping breakfast or having nothing but coffee until lunchtime.

Then by mid afternoon your energy crashes, cravings go through the roof, the biscuit tin starts calling your name and your dinner portions double (if you eat dinner at all - otherwise it’s picking at kids scraps and finishing the day with half a block of chocolate because “I’ve barely eaten all day”).

Protein + fibre won’t magically make you lose weight…

But they WILL help keep you fuller for longer, make your calories work harder for you and make a deficit easier to stick to.

Here are 4 of my favourites:

BUSY BITCH BREAKFAST

* 50g rolled oats
* 30g Muscle Nation Vanilla Daily Shake protein
* 60g raspberries
* 15g peanut butter
* 120ml boiling water
* 20ml unsweetened almond milk

Approx: 414 cals | 32g protein | 46g carbs | 13g fat

SNICKERS OVERNIGHT OATS

* 50g oats
* 30g chocolate protein powder
* 100g YoPro Vanilla
* 10g peanut butter
* 10ml sugar free maple syrup
* 100ml almond milk
* 5g chia seeds

Approx: 450 cals | 40g protein | 40g carbs | 14g fat

BREAKFAST MUFFIN

* 2 eggs
* 60g egg whites
* 1 English muffin
* 30g shortcut bacon
* 1 slice light cheese
* Baby spinach

Approx: 380 cals | 34g protein | 28g carbs | 13g fat

SCRAMBLED EGGS ON WHOLEMEAL TOAST

* 2 eggs
* 100g egg whites
* 2 slices wholemeal toast
* 40g avocado
* Salt & pepper

Approx: 420 cals | 31g protein | 30g carbs | 18g fat

The best breakfast is the one you’ll actually eat consistently! Egg recipes don’t particularly work for me during the week because I’m time poor so I stick to oats or weetbix through the week because I can prep 5 serves on a Sunday and eggs on the weekend! But it’s about what works for YOU.

The breakfast that helps you stop inhaling your kid’s leftover crusts at 4pm.

If winter usually becomes the season you put yourself last… read this.

Jaimi lost 5kg in Kickstart.

But honestly, that’s not even the best part.

The biggest shifts?

• Meals she now has on repeat for the whole family
• Better energy
• Better sleep
• Less 3pm sugar scavenging
• Sustainable food habits that actually stuck
• Feeling stronger, fitter and more in control

And this is what I keep hearing from women in Kickstart…

Meal prep saves them time.
It saves them money.
It removes the “what’s for dinner?” chaos.
And it stops weight loss feeling so fkn hard.

That’s because this isn’t another 8 week shred.

It’s structure.

2 strength sessions a week.
Step goals.
Fortnightly meal plans.
Recipes your whole family will eat.
Support inside the app.
Women on the same page as you.

Simple stuff, repeated.

Next round starts May 4.

Sign up is $399 solo
OR $350 each if you join with a friend.

Honestly… grab a buddy.

Make this winter different from all the others where you say you’ll “wait until spring.”

Start now and be the woman who hits spring already feeling stronger, leaner and more in control.

Comment KICKSTART or DM me and I’ll send you the details. 🤍

Limited spots. Last round sold out!!

Let’s be honest… we all have Messy Mum moments.
Days where life is chaotic, the wheels feel a bit wobbly, and you’re barely keeping up.

Even the most resilient mums have those days.

It’s okay to have Messy Mum moments.
What matters is whether you stay there.

A lot of this comes down to perspective… and learning how to work with what you’ve got instead of waiting for life to feel easier and making up excuses as to why you “just can’t do it”.

And yes, you can still eat really good food and get results while doing that.

Comment M**F and I’ll send you my Recipe Book for Busy (and Awesome) Mums so I can show you how ❤️‍🔥

People pleasing is exhausting.

You’ll lose yourself trying to squeeze yourself into spaces you don’t fit by hiding parts of yourself you think aren’t likeable.

Just be you… the right people and opportunities will find you.
