What started as a goal to feel fabulous walking down the aisle became a complete lifestyle change. 💍✨

When Kirsty started coaching, she had one big goal in mind: her wedding.

She wanted to lose weight, feel confident in her wedding dress and walk down that aisle feeling like the absolute BEST version of herself. 🥹

And over nine months, she lost almost 32lbs whilst maintaining and changing her shape over 3 of these months!

But honestly? The weight loss isn’t my favourite part of Kirsty’s story.

Because she didn’t get there by putting her life on hold.

She navigated Christmas 🎄
Work trips ✈️
Holidays ☀️
Meals out 🥂
Wedding planning 💍
And all the normal chaos that comes with real life.

There was no harsh restriction. No cutting everything she enjoyed. No waiting for the “perfect” few months to lose weight.

Instead, we worked on building habits around food, movement and exercise that she genuinely enjoyed and could see herself continuing long after the wedding was over.

And that’s exactly what’s happened.

The wedding might have been the reason Kirsty started…

but it isn’t the reason she’s continuing.

She said something to me the other day that summed the whole journey up:

“I’m never going back.” 🙅🏼‍♀️

Not because she’s scared of regaining the weight.

But because she loves how she feels now. ❤️

She loves moving her body.
She loves feeling strong.
She loves the way she eats.
She loves the routines she’s created.
And most importantly, this doesn’t feel like something she’s waiting to finish.

This is just her life now.

And THAT is what I want for every woman I coach.

Not another diet you can’t wait to finish.

A way of looking after yourself that feels so good, you don’t want to go back. 💪🏼✨

✨ OF COURSE the goal was to help Holly feel more confident in her body…(and SNATCHED which she is looking 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼)

…but we had another goal that mattered just as much. 💪

Just under a month ago, we decided that getting her first unassisted pull-up was going to be the mission.

Fast forward to today…

🎉 SHE DID IT. 🎉

Her very first unassisted pull-up!

And the best part? We’re not stopping here. Now we’re chasing 5. 👊

Holly had been trying to piece programmes together herself and wasn’t really seeing the progress she wanted. Sometimes it’s not about working harder—it’s about having a plan that actually moves you towards your goal 🙌🏻 I.e training smarter 🤓

Seeing this video pop up while I was on holiday genuinely had me jumping around with excitement. 🥹 These are the moments I absolutely love 🧡

Because yes, changing how you look can be a great goal…

But building strength, doing things you never thought you could, and proving to yourself that you’re capable? That’s the stuff that sticks. ❤️

Massive congratulations, Holly. I’m so proud of you! 💛

Now… who’s next? 👀💪

In a world where you can buy skinny, remember this: you can’t buy strong. You can’t buy fit. You can’t buy healthy ❤️

Another year, another backpacking holiday. 🎒

Hiking the Amalfi Coast 🇮🇹⛰️💙

Kudos to my husband who became a great photographer 😂

✨ Victoria didn’t start with Hyrox.

She started building from the Base up 📈

These were actually her initial habits we set…
💧 Drinking 2 litres of water a day.
🚶‍♀️ Hitting 6,000 steps.
📱 Tracking her food consistently.

That’s it.

Over time, those small habits became bigger habits.

Victoria lost weight, reached her goal, reverse dieted, learned how to fuel her body properly, maintained her results, built strength, and recently completed her first Hyrox. 💪🏃‍♀️🔥

The biggest lesson?

She isn’t different from anyone else.

She didn’t have more time.
She didn’t have fewer responsibilities.
She didn’t wait for the “perfect” moment.

She simply started where she was and focused on the next step in front of her 🤌🏼

That’s exactly what we do inside HABIT Base. 🌱

We help women build sustainable habits that fit around real life, so they can create results that actually last.

✨ If you’re ready to stop starting over and finally build your own foundations, we’ll be welcoming new members into HABIT Base from August (In person and Online)

I had one of my clients in the gym yesterday 💪

During the session, we took her from a 30kg sumo deadlift to 60kg.

Yep… doubled it 😅

For sets of 10 might I add 🙋🏼‍♀️

I also got her to rep out 20 reps on the lat pulldown at the weight she’d been using for weeks.

Not because I enjoy being mean 😂

But because I wanted to prove a point:

She was stronger than she thought.

In her case, her form only needed a tiny tweak 🎯

I know her nutrition only needs a few small changes 🍽️

The biggest thing holding her back?

Confidence ⭐️

Confidence to trust herself.
Confidence to load the bar.
Confidence to stop playing it safe.

And honestly, that’s where a lot of us gals go wrong.

We’re showing up.
We’re training.
We’re doing the workouts.

But we’re not giving our body enough reason to adapt.

So if you’re not seeing the results you want, it’s probably one of the 4 things in this post 👆

The good news?

Every single one of them can be fixed 🌱

And if you’d like some help figuring out which one applies to you…

💭 What if the problem is that you’ve been trying to change by tearing yourself down instead of building yourself up? 🌱✨

You can’t hate yourself into changing. ❤️

This is where most women get stuck. 😔

They spend years trying to get from Point A to Point B. 🛣️

Lose the weight.
Get the body.
Hit the number. 🎯

And for a while, it works. ✅

Until life happens. 🌪️

Because the entire process was built on fixing something they believed was wrong with them. 💔

They never learned how to trust themselves around food.
They never learned how to work with their body.
They never learned how to build habits that felt sustainable. 🌿

They were only focused on the transformation. 🔄

Not the person they needed to become to maintain it. 🌟

I know because I used to think exactly the same way. 🙋‍♀️

I thought the answer was more discipline.
More restriction.
More pushing. 😓

But the women who create lasting change aren’t usually the women who hate themselves into action. 💪✨

They’re the women who learn to support themselves through the process. 🤝💜

And no, that doesn’t happen overnight. 🌙

It’s a skill. 🧠

A different way of approaching change. 🔑

That’s exactly what we do at The Habit Base. 💜✨

We still focus on results. 🎯

We still focus on fat loss, strength, health and confidence. 💪❤️

But we do it by helping you work with yourself instead of constantly fighting yourself. 🤗

And that’s often the difference between losing weight for a few months and keeping it off for years. 🙌🎉
