    The IAGAM Framework

    If you’ve ever found yourself slipping back into old habits, even with GLP-1s doing their job – it’s not because you’re lazy or broken. It’s because you’re still thinking like the “old you.”

    That’s why I created the IAGAM Mindset Weight Loss Ebook – a guide for shifting the stories you tell yourself, one tiny action at a time.

    IAGAM stands for:

    • Identity – Who you believe you are and who you want to be
    • Action – What you consistently do and how to take each step
    • Growth – How you respond to challenges and learn from them
    • Achievement – What success really means to you and how to maintain it
    • Mindset – The thoughts and beliefs that drive it all

    This isn’t another “believe in yourself!” pep talk. It’s a mindset reset, with structure.

    Inside, you’ll find:

    • A roadmap that takes you step by step through changing how you see yourself
    • Over 100 pages of empowering mindset prompts, habit strategies, and printable tools
    • Specific support for GLP-1 users – because your journey isn’t the same as everyone else’s
    • Journal pages, identity scripts, and mini wins that keep you going even when the scale stalls

    Ready for Real Success? Let’s Do This.

    Whether you’re just starting your GLP-1 journey or trying to find your stride again, this series is your ultimate guide to making it work.

    Real GLP-1 success isn’t about perfection — it’s about progress. It’s about understanding your mindset, building habits that last, and bouncing back stronger when things get tough.

    So pick a post that speaks to where you’re at right now, and dive in.

    Because GLP-1 success is more than just a number on the scale — it’s a lifestyle you love.

    Why GLP-1 Motivation Fades (and How to Build Lasting Momentum)

    GLP-1 Motivation

    Let’s be honest — GLP-1 motivation is like a fresh notebook. At first, it’s all shiny potential and big plans. You’re pumped, you’ve got your meds (Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro), maybe even a cute new water bottle.

    You’re unstoppable… until you’re not.

    Because here’s the hard truth: motivation is about as reliable as a British summer. One minute, it’s all sunshine and good vibes, the next? Rain, boredom, and “I’ll start again Monday.”

    But here’s the secret no one tells you: motivation is rubbish. It’s not what gets you results. What you need is momentum. That slow, steady, unstoppable force that keeps you going, even when you’re not feeling it.

    So today, I’m giving you 11 powerful ways to build momentum on GLP-1s — because momentum is what makes you unstoppable.

    Table of Contents

    1. Know the Difference: GLP-1 Motivation vs. Momentum

    Motivation is a spark. It’s that initial excitement, the “new year, new me” energy. But it’s gone faster than a TikTok trend.

    Momentum, on the other hand, is a snowball. It’s the little wins that keep you moving even when you’re tired, stressed, or just can’t be bothered. The best part? Once momentum’s rolling, it keeps going.

    Stop chasing motivation — start building momentum.

    If this is hitting home, the IAGAM Mindset Weight Loss Ebook breaks this down step-by-step – showing you exactly how to build momentum through identity-based habits, not just hype.

    2. Start with Micro Habits (Because Tiny Wins Add Up)

    You don’t need to overhaul your life overnight. In fact, that’s the quickest way to burn out.

    • Pick 3-5 tiny habits you can do even on your worst days.
    • Drink water before coffee.
    • Add protein to every meal.
    • Take a 5-minute walk each day.
    • These sound simple because they are — and that’s the point. Consistency beats perfection.

    3. Habit Stack for Automatic Wins

    Momentum is easiest when you don’t have to think. That’s where habit stacking comes in.

    • Pair a new habit with one you already do.
    • “After I brush my teeth, I take my GLP-1 shot.”
    • “When I make my morning coffee, I fill up my water bottle.”
    • “After dinner, I write down one win for the day.”
    • It’s like setting yourself up for automatic success.

    Struggling with habits? Go read Struggling to Stay on Track? Try This Simple Daily GLP-1 Routine.

    4. Track Your Wins (Yes, Even the Tiny Ones)

    If you only focus on the big picture, you’ll miss how far you’ve come.

    • Keep a “Wins Journal.” Write down one win each day — no matter how small.
    • “Got my protein in.” “Walked for 10 minutes.” “Didn’t snack after dinner.”
    • On rough days, read them back. It’s proof you’re making progress, even when it doesn’t feel like it.

    5. Ditch All-or-Nothing Thinking

    This is where most people go wrong. They think they have to be perfect, or they’ve failed.

    • Missed a workout? Do five minutes instead of thirty.
    • Ate something off-plan? Make your next meal a good one.
    • GLP-1 success isn’t about being flawless — it’s about being consistent.

    6. Build a Momentum Routine (Make It Unmissable)

    Don’t wait for motivation — make momentum a habit.

    • Morning: Read your “I’m becoming someone who…” list.
    • Midday: Write one win in your Wins Journal.
    • Evening: Reflect — What went well? What needs tweaking?
    • It’s not about doing everything perfectly. It’s about doing something, every day.

    This daily rhythm is exactly what the IAGAM method helps you create – a mindset routine that becomes your anchor, especially when motivation packs up and disappears.

    7. Make Your Why Impossible to Ignore

    Why did you start GLP-1 in the first place? To feel better? Keep up with your kids? Feel confident in your own skin?

    • Write down your “why” — be specific.
    • “I want to feel strong, not just slim.”
    • “I want to run a 5k without feeling like I’m dying.”
    • Stick it where you’ll see it — fridge, phone lock screen, even the bathroom mirror.

    8. Use Action Triggers (Make Motivation Optional)

    If you have to rely on willpower, you’re in trouble. Instead, make motivation automatic.

    • Set out your workout gear the night before.
    • Keep a water bottle in the fridge, so it’s always cold and ready.
    • Have a playlist that instantly makes you want to move.
    • Turn good choices into a habit, not a decision.

    9. Reward Consistency, Not Just Results

    Most people only celebrate the scale — that’s a mistake.

    • Did you stick to your protein target for a week? Treat yourself.
    • Walked every day for a month? Get those fancy leggings.
    • When I lost 80lbs, it wasn’t the final number that made me happy — it was the milestones along the way. Running my first 5k, feeling strong, doing my first push-up.

    10. Surround Yourself with Momentum Makers

    You become like the people you follow — so follow wisely.

    • Stick with people who share realistic, encouraging content.
    • If someone’s account makes you feel rubbish, unfollow.
    • And be your own biggest cheerleader. Yes, really.

    11. Never Rely on Motivation — Focus on Momentum

    Motivation is fleeting. Momentum is forever.

    • On the days you can’t be bothered, do something small.
    • A five-minute walk. A protein shake. Filling up your water bottle.
    • Tiny actions build momentum — and momentum keeps you going.

    The IAGAM Framework

    If you’ve ever found yourself slipping back into old habits, even with GLP-1s doing their job – it’s not because you’re lazy or broken. It’s because you’re still thinking like the “old you.”

    That’s why I created the IAGAM Mindset Weight Loss Ebook – a guide for shifting the stories you tell yourself, one tiny action at a time.

    IAGAM stands for:

    • Identity – Who you believe you are and who you want to be
    • Action – What you consistently do and how to take each step
    • Growth – How you respond to challenges and learn from them
    • Achievement – What success really means to you and how to maintain it
    • Mindset – The thoughts and beliefs that drive it all

    • Journal pages, identity scripts, and mini wins that keep you going even when the scale stalls

    The Bottom Line: GLP-1 Motivation Is Overrated — Build Momentum Instead

    Stop waiting to “feel motivated.” It won’t last. But momentum? That’s the real secret. It’s what gets you results even on the hard days.

    It’s why you’ll keep going even when the hype fades.

    Next Steps:

    Forget motivation — focus on building unstoppable momentum.

    GLP-1 Milestones That Matter (And How To Celebrate Without Sabotage!)

    GLP-1 MILESTONES

    Let’s talk about something you may be skipping over: GLP-1 milestones. Those little (and not-so-little) wins that prove you’re making progress — even if the scale’s being a grumpy old git.

    Those little (and not-so-little) wins that prove you’re making progress — even if the scale’s being a grumpy old git. Because if you’re only celebrating when you hit a certain number, you’re setting yourself up for a right emotional rollercoaster.

    And trust me, I know. I’ve been there. I lost 80lbs — and you’d think hitting that magic number would be the happiest day of my life, right? But it wasn’t. The real joy?

    It was in the milestones I hit along the way. My first 5k. My first 10k. The first time I did a push-up without feeling like a flailing starfish. Not wheezing my way up a flight of stairs because my asthma finally gave me a break.

    Feeling confident enough to wear clothes I actually liked, instead of whatever covered the most. Those were the wins that changed everything.

    And the same is true for you on your GLP-1 journey.

    Table of Contents

    Why Celebrating GLP-1 Milestones Matters

    Look, I get it. When you’re on GLP-1 meds like Mounjaro, Wegovy, or Zepbound, the weight can come off almost on autopilot (or at least, it feels like that at the start). So you might think, “Why bother celebrating? Isn’t the weight loss reward enough?”

    Nope. Here’s why:

    • It keeps you motivated: Those tiny wins add up. When you notice them, you realise you’re making progress even when the scale stalls.
    • It rewires your mindset: You’re not just “losing weight.” You’re becoming someone who takes care of herself.
    • It makes the journey fun: Because let’s be real — who wants to spend months feeling like they’re in some endless, joyless health quest?

    Celebrating GLP-1 milestones reminds you that this is your life — not a punishment. And you’re allowed to actually enjoy the ride.

    If you want to go deeper with this identity shift, it’s exactly what I break down in the IAGAM Mindset Weight Loss Ebook – how to recognise and repeat the kind of wins that fuel long-term change.

    If you haven’t noticed your wins lately, go read Beyond the Scale: Recognising Non-Scale Victories on GLP-1. You’re probably already smashing it.

    What Counts as a GLP-1 Milestone? (Hint: It’s Not Just the Scale)

    A GLP-1 milestone isn’t just about dropping another kilo. If that’s your only measure of success, you’re in for a moody ride. Instead, let’s broaden our idea of what counts:

    1. Physical Wins

    • Your clothes fit better, even if the scale’s not budging.
    • You’ve got more energy. You’re not snoozing through Zoom calls.
    • You walk without getting winded.
    • You can actually get up off the floor without making that “ugh” noise.
    • Your asthma’s better — I can’t tell you the freedom that gave me.

    2. Mental Wins

    • You’re not obsessing over food 24/7.
    • You stop eating when you’re full (no more clearing your plate just because).
    • You manage stress without face-planting into a pack of Hobnobs.
    • You actually want to choose the healthier option sometimes.
    • For me, this was a huge one — the first time I chose a run because it cleared my head, not because I “had to.”

    3. Consistency Wins

    • You’ve stuck to your GLP-1 routine — no missed doses.
    • You’ve prepped protein-packed meals for a week straight.
    • You’ve moved your body, even if it was just a quick walk.
    • You’ve hit your water target most days.
    • I still remember my first week of consistent 10k steps — felt like I’d conquered Everest.

    4. Mindset Wins

    • You’re kinder to yourself when things go sideways.
    • You’ve stopped comparing yourself to everyone else.
    • You’re not scared of hunger anymore — you trust your body.
    • You actually believe you can do this.

    Those are GLP-1 milestones. And if you’re not counting them, you’re robbing yourself of motivation.

    How to Reward Yourself for GLP-1 Milestones (Without Sabotage)

    Look, I’m not saying you can’t treat yourself — but there’s a massive difference between a reward and a setback.

    A reward builds you up. It’s a pat on the back that makes you want to keep going.
    A setback is that “I’ve been so good, so I deserve to eat everything in sight” mentality that leaves you feeling pants.

    Ditch the Food Rewards

    A binge isn’t a reward — it’s a reset button on your progress. (Not including a nice meal out with family or friends as part of your celebration, because that’s about an experience, not just the food!)

    Reward Ideas That Actually Help:

    • New Activewear: Those LuluLemon leggings you’ve been eyeing — because feeling good makes you want to move.
    • A Spa Day: Or just a fancy at-home pamper session. Bubble bath, face mask, candles — you deserve it.
    • Fitness Gadgets: A new water bottle, a fitness tracker, or a smart scale.
    • Self-Care Splurges: A fresh journal, a book you’ve wanted, a mindfulness app subscription.
    • Adventure Rewards: A day trip somewhere you love, a hike, a dance class you’ve never tried.
    • Creative Rewards: A new cosy colouring book (my personal favourite reward), a DIY project, or even a cooking class.

    Struggling to build habits you actually want to celebrate? Go read Struggling to Stay on Track? Try This Simple Daily GLP-1 Routine — it’ll sort you out.

    Building a Personal GLP-1 Reward System

    I know what you’re thinking: “That’s great, but I can’t afford a spa day every time I don’t eat a biscuit.”

    Fair enough. So let’s make this doable. Here’s how you can build your own reward system:

    1. Make a Reward List

    • Small wins: A new nail polish, a fancy coffee, a 30-minute lie-in.
    • Medium wins: A massage, new workout gear, a date night.
    • Major wins: A weekend getaway, a big-ticket item you’ve been saving for.

    2. Tie Rewards to Specific Milestones

    Not just weight, but actions:

    • First time you choose a protein-packed meal without a second thought.
    • Running a full 5k without stopping — the milestone that had me grinning for days.
    • Consistently getting your GLP-1 routine right for a month.

    3. Be Consistent, Not Perfect

    Don’t save your rewards for “perfect” progress. Celebrate the messy wins — the days you showed up even when you couldn’t be bothered.

    4. Gamify Your Progress (My Secret Weapon)

    Okay, let me put you onto something that’s been an absolute game-changer for me — especially with my ADHD brain that thrives on novelty and little dopamine boosts. It’s called LifeUp Pro, and it’s like turning your daily habits into a game.

    Here’s how it works:

    • You set up your habits and tasks in the app (like “Hit 100g protein” or “Walk 5,000 steps”).
    • A coin value is assigned based on its difficulty or importance – you can also set this yourself.
    • Every time you complete a habit, you earn coins.
    • You can then spend those coins in your custom “coin store” — which you fill with your own rewards. Fancy coffee? New book? That spa day you’ve been dreaming of? It’s all up to you.

    And if you’re someone who struggles to actually see the progress worth rewarding, IAGAM gives you the tools to track identity-based milestones—so you can celebrate who you’re becoming, not just what you’re losing.

    When to Celebrate (And When to Refocus)

    Not every day is a party — but if you’re constantly waiting to hit some mythical “perfect” goal before you let yourself feel proud? You’ll burn out.

    Celebrate when:

    • You’ve done something new or challenging.
    • You’ve stayed consistent (even if you didn’t feel like it).
    • You’ve hit a milestone that used to feel impossible.

    But refocus when:

    • You’re rewarding yourself with a binge.
    • You’re ignoring the wins that aren’t on the scale.
    • Your “rewards” are derailing your routine.

    Next Steps:

    GLP-1 Non-Scale Victories That Actually Keep You Going

    glp-1 non-scale victories

    You’ve been taking your meds, eating less, even walking more than usual — and yet, that stubborn number just won’t budge. Cue the internal meltdown: “What’s the bloody point?!”

    But here’s the thing: just because the scale’s stalling doesn’t mean you aren’t absolutely smashing it. It’s time we stop letting that little plastic rectangle determine our mood, our motivation, or our belief in ourselves.

    Because on GLP-1s, some of your biggest wins? They don’t show up in kilograms. They show up in real life — and they’re called non-scale victories.

    Table of Contents

    What Are Non-Scale Victories (And Why They Matter on GLP-1s)?

    Non-scale victories (NSVs, if you like a good acronym) are all the brilliant, confidence-boosting signs that your body and mind are changing — even if the scale hasn’t clocked in yet.

    And honestly? When you’re on GLP-1 meds like Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro, these NSVs often pop up before the weight drops. Your appetite changes. Your cravings ease off. You start making better choices without a mental war in Tesco’s snack aisle.

    GLP-1s shift your biology – but your brain still needs proof that things are working. That’s where non-scale victories step in. They say: “Oi, look what’s happening that the scale can’t see.”

    These are exactly the kinds of wins I encourage you to track inside the IAGAM Mindset Weight Loss Ebook – because your journey is about becoming, not just shrinking.

    If your weight loss stalled and you’re starting to panic, hit pause and read Weight Loss Stalled? Here’s Exactly How to Get Back on Track. Then come back here with a clearer head.

    Let’s shine a light on the wins you’re probably ignoring (or downplaying like a humble queen). Because once you see them, you can’t unsee them — and they’ll keep you going when motivation’s gone AWOL.

    Here’s what counts:

    • You stopped obsessing about food all day. You’re not planning your next snack while eating your current one. That’s HUGE.
    • You’re not inhaling biscuits when stressed. Emotional eating? Managed. Well done, you.
    • You stop eating when full. No clean plate club here — just body awareness and self-trust.
    • You actually move now. Walking more? Taking stairs without dying? That’s strength, not a coincidence.
    • Clothes feel comfier. Even if the scale’s stagnant, your body’s reshaping.
    • Energy’s up. You’re not nodding off mid-Zoom or living off caffeine fumes.
    • You made it through a social event without spiralling. That’s mindset growth, babe.
    • You feel more in control. That’s not just a win. That’s power.

    Honestly, half of these are what people dream of after they hit their goal weight. You’re living them now. Don’t let the scale gaslight you out of celebrating.

    Why You Need to Track These Non-Scale Victories

    Look, we track steps, sleep, macros — so why not the good stuff that actually makes you feel proud?

    Non-scale victories are proof that your GLP-1 journey is working, even when the maths says otherwise.

    Here’s how to make them part of your routine:

    • Keep a “Victory List.” Write down 1–2 wins every evening (or weekly, if that’s more your vibe).
    • Use your phone’s Notes app, a journal, or my free GLP-1 tracker. Keep it simple — no spreadsheets required.
    • Read your wins on the hard days. Instant motivation. And way more satisfying than stepping on the scale.

    Struggling to stick to habits long enough to notice those wins? Check out Struggling to Stay on Track? Try This Simple Daily GLP-1 Routine — it’ll sort you out.

    Rewire What “Success” Means to You

    Here’s where it gets juicy. Most people on GLP-1s set one goal: “Lose X kilos.”
    And that’s fine. But it’s also flat. One-dimensional. Fragile.

    So let’s flip it.

    Start measuring success by who you’re becoming:

    • “I’m someone who fuels her body with respect.”
    • “I move because it feels good, not as punishment.”
    • “I don’t spiral when the scale doesn’t move.”
    • “I show up, even when I can’t be bothered.”

    Now we’re talking about identity. Not just behaviour, but belief. You’re building a life you don’t need to escape from — and the scale’s got nothing on that.

    This shift, from chasing a number to embodying a new identity, is the heart of IAGAM. The ebook gives you the tools to track wins that actually matter, so the scale no longer holds the power.

    Want help making that mindset stick? Go back and reread Why You Still Self-Sabotage on GLP-1s (and How to Finally Rewire Your Identity). It’s the mindset shift most people skip — but not you.

    The IAGAM Framework

    If you’ve ever found yourself slipping back into old habits, even with GLP-1s doing their job – it’s not because you’re lazy or broken. It’s because you’re still thinking like the “old you.”

    That’s why I created the IAGAM Mindset Weight Loss Ebook – a guide for shifting the stories you tell yourself, one tiny action at a time.

    IAGAM stands for:

    • Identity – Who you believe you are and who you want to be
    • Action – What you consistently do and how to take each step
    • Growth – How you respond to challenges and learn from them
    • Achievement – What success really means to you and how to maintain it
    • Mindset – The thoughts and beliefs that drive it all

    This isn’t another “believe in yourself!” pep talk. It’s a mindset reset, with structure.

    Inside, you’ll find:

    • A roadmap that takes you step by step through changing how you see yourself
    • Over 100 pages of empowering mindset prompts, habit strategies, and printable tools
    • Specific support for GLP-1 users – because your journey isn’t the same as everyone else’s
    • Journal pages, identity scripts, and mini wins that keep you going even when the scale stalls

    Remember: Real Progress Is a Whole Vibe

    The next time the scale doesn’t give you what you want, ask yourself this instead:

    • Am I eating in a way that feels sustainable?
    • Am I moving more or feeling stronger?
    • Am I being kinder to myself?
    • Am I more consistent than I used to be?

    If the answer is yes to even ONE of those — you’re winning.

    Next Steps:

    Tired of letting the scale call the shots?

    • Grab my free GLP-1 Goal & Motivation Kickstart Kit to help you map out identity-based habits that actually stick.
    • Read: Celebrating Milestones: How to Reward Yourself on the GLP-1 Path to make your wins feel even better.
    • Or explore GLP-1-Friendly Fitness Tips for ways to build movement into your day without the pressure.

    The scale’s just late to the party.

    And don’t worry, it’ll catch up.

    GLP-1 Weight Loss Stalled? Here’s Exactly How to Get Back on Track

    glp-1 weight loss stalled

    Weight loss stalled? Welcome to the club! You’re doing all the “right” things — taking your GLP-1 meds, trying to eat better, maybe even dragging yourself out for the occasional walk — and suddenly… nothing.

    The scale’s frozen. Your jeans still fit the same. And your motivation? Where is she?

    But let me tell you this loud and clear: this is normal. A stall isn’t the end. It’s not proof you’re doing it wrong. It’s just part of the journey — and what you do next is what actually matters.

    Let’s break it down and get you moving again (without the meltdown or chucking your progress in the bin).

    Table of Contents

    Why Has My Weight Loss Stalled?

    First things first — breathe. This isn’t a cosmic punishment or a sign your GLP-1 meds have suddenly stopped working. Weight loss isn’t linear, and stalls happen to everyone.

    Here’s why:

    • Your body’s adjusting. It’s clever, that body of yours. When it notices weight coming off, it recalibrates — adjusting hormones, slowing digestion, conserving energy. It’s not trying to sabotage you. It’s trying to survive.
    • Water retention’s a sneaky little gremlin. Especially if you’ve started moving more or changed your diet. That scale might be hiding fat loss behind a water weight smoke screen.
    • You’re eating too little — or too erratically. Not feeling hungry on GLP-1s? You might be under-fuelling, which leads to stalls, fatigue, and cravings.
    • Habits got a bit wobbly. Life got busy, protein dipped, hydration slipped, and your steps dropped off — it happens. But that doesn’t mean you’re back at square one.

    These are exactly the kind of wobble the IAGAM Mindset Ebook helps you navigate. It gives you tools to stay grounded when your brain’s throwing tantrums and your progress feels invisible.

    Need help tightening things up again? Go check Struggling to Stay on Track? Try This Simple Daily GLP-1 Routine — it’ll give your day a proper reset.

    Is It Really a Stall… Or Just a Bad Week?

    Sometimes what feels like a stall is just a blip — a week of off-schedule meals, stress, sleep chaos or hormones doing their monthly dance.

    So before you spiral, check these:

    • Clothes fitting differently? You might be recomposing (losing fat, gaining muscle or water).
    • Energy up? Sleep better? Mood calmer? Those are signs of progress — even if the scale’s sulking.
    • Tracking properly? Or just “sort of” estimating portions and eyeballing protein?

    Don’t just measure one thing. Use all the data: tape, clothes, mood, fitness, food log. The scale is just one noisy voice in a choir — don’t let it solo.

    Want to remember all the other wins that matter? Go read Beyond the Scale: Recognising Non-Scale Victories on GLP-1 — it’ll shift your perspective fast.

    What To Do When Your Weight Loss Stalled and You’re Ready to Chuck It All

    Right. So let’s say this isn’t just a moody week. Your weight loss stalled and it’s been a solid two, maybe three weeks of zero movement. Here’s your plan:

    1. Eat More

    Yes, really. If you’ve been under-eating (because you’re never hungry anymore), your body might be holding onto weight like Smaug hoarding gold under the Lonely Mountain. Try this:

    • 3 meals a day minimum, even if small
    • 20–30g protein per meal
    • Add in some healthy fats and carbs to support your hormones and energy

    Need help with food structure? My GLP-1-Friendly Meal Plan is your new best mate.

    2. Move a Bit More (Without Going Full Bootcamp)

    No, you don’t need to double your steps or train like a Spartan. But if you’ve been mostly sedentary, your body might need a nudge:

    • Walk for 10–20 minutes after a meal
    • Try light resistance workouts at home (think: squats, push-ups, resistance bands)
    • Dance, garden, pace while you’re on the phone — movement is movement

    Consistency beats intensity, every single time.

    3. Tighten Up Without Going Extreme

    Have a quick scan through:

    • Skipping meals too often?
    • Grazing instead of eating balanced plates?
    • Relying too heavily on “GLP-1 safe” snacks and forgetting real meals?

    Start with one upgrade: a proper breakfast, or protein at every meal. You don’t need a diet overhaul — just a return to rhythm.

    When Your Brain Says “You’ve Failed” — Tell It to Pipe Down

    This is the bit that matters most.

    When weight loss stalled, it’s so easy to spiral:

    • “I knew this wouldn’t last.”
    • “I’ve messed it up.”
    • “Maybe I’m just meant to be this weight forever.”

    NOPE. Not today, brain. This is where the growth happens.

    Progress doesn’t come from never messing up — it comes from not giving up when it gets hard.

    Here’s your script:
    “I haven’t failed. I’ve just hit a pause. Now I assess, adjust, and keep going.”

    This is where having a reset strategy that’s rooted in identity and mindset really matters. That’s why I created IAGAM – to help you build the bounce-back muscle when the scale stalls and your confidence wobbles.

    Need a good mindset reboot? Read Why You Still Self-Sabotage on GLP-1s (and How to Finally Rewire Your Identity) — it’s got your name all over it.

    How a Growth Mindset Gets You Through a Weight Loss Stall

    Let’s have a word about your mindset. Because if you’re staring at the scale thinking, “I’ll never get there”, that’s not motivation talking—that’s your inner critic trying to hijack the whole mission.

    What you need here is a growth mindset.

    A growth mindset says:

    • “This is hard, but I can learn what works.”
    • “I haven’t failed—I’m just not there yet.”
    • “Every stall teaches me something… even if what it’s teaching me is patience!”

    Your brain will throw tantrums like:

    • “It’s not working anymore.”
    • “See? You’re back at square one.”
    • “Might as well have that entire pack of biscuits.”

    And that’s when you pause and go, “Alright brain, calm down. I’ve stalled before and kept going. I can do it again.”

    Instead of obsessing over the outcome, zoom in on your actions:

    • Did I stick to my GLP-1 routine this week?
    • Did I move, fuel, and hydrate—even when I couldn’t be arsed?
    • Did I reset instead of quit?

    If the answer’s yes, that’s growth. And that’s progress.

    5 Things That Still Count (Even If the Scale’s Being a Cow)

    Let’s not pretend the number doesn’t matter at all. But if that’s the only thing you’re measuring, you’re setting yourself up to feel crap.

    Here are wins that count just as much:

    1. You made protein a habit
    2. You’re not bingeing like you used to
    3. You move more, even just a little
    4. You feel calmer around food
    5. You’re showing up, again and again

    That is success. That is progress. And that is exactly how real, lasting transformation happens.

    If you need help translating that mindset into actual goals, go revisit GLP-1 Goal Setting That Actually Works — because vague hopes won’t carry you through a stall.

    • Journal pages, identity scripts, and mini wins that keep you going even when the scale stalls

    Bottom Line: A Weight Loss Stall Doesn’t Mean You’ve Failed

    Your weight loss stalled? Fine. It happens. It’s not the end. Nor the beginning of the end. It’s just your body saying, “Oi, give me a minute to catch up.”

    This is where most people quit — but you’re not most people. You’re building something sustainable, remember?

    Next Steps:

    A plateau doesn’t mean it’s over. It means it’s time to level up.

    So pause. Assess. Reset your habits. Honour your effort. Then get back in the ring.

    Because you’ve already come too far to give up now.

    GLP-1 ROUTINE

    You know the feeling. You’re on GLP-1 meds, you’ve had a decent week, maybe even nailed your protein goal once or twice… and then BAM — life goes full chaos. Suddenly you’re skipping meals, forgetting your water, and wondering if this is the start of another spiral. Let’s just be honest here: you don’t need more motivation, you need a GLP-1 routine.

    A proper, doable, no-faff structure that keeps you steady even when life throws a tantrum. Because let’s face it — if you’re relying on willpower alone, you’re basically winging it.

    And if winging it actually worked, we wouldn’t be here, would we?

    Table of Contents

    Why You Need a GLP-1 Routine (Not Just Good Intentions)

    GLP-1s like Mounjaro, Wegovy or Zepbound do a cracking job at calming the cravings and quieting the food noise. But they don’t magically make you consistent.

    That’s on you, babe.

    And without some kind of routine, the brain goes rogue — skipping meals ‘cause you’re “not hungry,” forgetting to drink water, eating protein once a day and calling it balance. It’s chaos dressed as freedom.

    A solid GLP-1 routine gives your day shape, reduces decision fatigue, and stops every wobble turning into a full-blown backslide.

    This is also where mindset and identity come into play—two things I cover deeply in the IAGAM Ebook. A good routine isn’t just about tasks, it’s about becoming someone who shows up for herself on autopilot.

    If your habits have gone walkabout, go read Still Falling Off Track? Build GLP-1 Habits That Reinforce the New You — it’ll help you plug the gaps and find your footing again.

    What Makes a Good GLP-1 Routine?

    Not perfection. Not strict schedules with colour-coded planners and 5am meditations. Nope. A good routine is simple, flexible, and totally built around you.

    Here’s what you want to weave in:

    1. Start with Structure, Not Stress

    Don’t overthink it. A basic morning anchor works wonders: Wake up. Water + electrolytes. Simple breakfast. Done.

    This tells your body: “Oi, we’re doing this today.”

    2. Make Protein a Non-Negotiable

    Even when you’re not hungry, your muscles still need feeding.

    Aim for 20–30g protein per meal. Think eggs, Greek yoghurt, tofu, or whatever doesn’t turn your stomach today.

    This one habit alone can be a game-changer — not just for your progress, but for your energy and mood too.

    3. Move Your Body (No Gym Required)

    You don’t have to train like an Olympian.

    • A 10-minute walk after lunch.
    • A stretch session before bed.
    • Dancing around the kitchen like no one’s watching.

    Movement isn’t about punishment. It’s a power-up.

    A Sample GLP-1 Routine (That Won’t Take Over Your Life)

    This is a framework — not a rulebook. Steal what works. Tweak what doesn’t.

    Morning

    • Wake up + electrolytes
    • High-protein breakfast
    • 5-minute mindset check-in (gratitude, goals, or just “I’m doing my best”)

    Midday

    • Protein-forward lunch
    • Gentle movement (walk/stretch/dance break)
    • Water refill + snack (protein if you can manage it)

    Evening

    • Balanced dinner
    • Quick check-in: “What went well today?”
    • Screen-free wind-down (or at least swap TikTok for a podcast)

    See? No military schedule. Just a repeatable rhythm that gets easier every day you do it.

    Build It Around Your Life (Not the Other Way Round)

    Your GLP-1 routine should work with your life, not against it.

    Start by identifying your non-negotiables — work, kids, dog walks, meds. Then anchor small habits around those points.

    • Take your injection? Cool. Stack it with planning tomorrow’s meals.
    • Put the kettle on? Stretch while it boils.
    • Sitting in traffic? Practice some of the affirmations in my free GLP-1 Goal & Motivation Kickstart Kit.

    Need help turning routines into identity-based habits that stick, even when your brain’s in chaos mode? That’s what the IAGAM framework was built for. Inside the ebook, I show you how to make these routines mean something—so they last.

    The more your routine fits you, the more likely you’ll stick to it — even when motivation packs its bags and disappears.

    Not sure what you’re working toward? Go read GLP-1 Goal Setting That Actually Works to set goals that actually matter and match your life.

    When It All Goes Pear-Shaped (Because It Will)

    Even the best routines get derailed. Life happens. Kids get sick. Work explodes. You accidentally scroll through half your day.

    Here’s your golden rule: one bad day doesn’t undo a good routine — unless you let it.

    The trick is to ask: “What’s the next best choice I can make today?”

    Maybe you missed breakfast? Cool. Prioritise lunch.
    Didn’t walk? No stress. Stand up, stretch, and keep it moving.
    Routine isn’t about being perfect — it’s about having a rhythm to return to.

    If you’ve ever found yourself slipping back into old habits, even with GLP-1s doing their job – it’s not because you’re lazy or broken. It’s because you’re still thinking like the “old you.”

    That’s why I created the IAGAM Mindset Weight Loss Ebook – a guide for shifting the stories you tell yourself, one tiny action at a time.

    IAGAM stands for:

    • Identity – Who you believe you are and who you want to be
    • Action – What you consistently do and how to take each step
    • Growth – How you respond to challenges and learn from them
    • Achievement – What success really means to you and how to maintain it
    • Mindset – The thoughts and beliefs that drive it all

    This isn’t another “believe in yourself!” pep talk. It’s a mindset reset, with structure.

    Inside, you’ll find:

    • A roadmap that takes you step by step through changing how you see yourself
    • Over 100 pages of empowering mindset prompts, habit strategies, and printable tools
    • Specific support for GLP-1 users – because your journey isn’t the same as everyone else’s
    • Journal pages, identity scripts, and mini wins that keep you going even when the scale stalls

    The Bottom Line

    Your GLP-1 routine isn’t meant to box you in — it’s meant to hold you up.

    When motivation disappears, when the scale messes with your head, when you’re tempted to fall back into old habits — routine is your reset button.

    Keep it simple. Doable. And yours.

    Still Falling Off Track? Build GLP-1 Habits That Reinforce the New You

    GLP-1 HABITS

    You’ve lost some weight, the cravings have eased off… but somehow, you still feel one bad day away from falling back into old habits. That’s because it’s not just about the injections—it’s about the GLP-1 habits you build alongside them.

    The ones that match the version of you who keeps the weight off. If your day-to-day routine still screams “panic dieter” or “I’ll start again Monday,” it’s time to shift.

    This post is your no-fluff guide to building habits that reinforce the new you—one tiny win at a time.

    Table of Contents

    Why GLP-1 Habits Work Better When They’re Identity-Based

    Here’s the tea: if you still think of yourself as “a dieter,” you’ll act like one. On-again, off-again, all-or-nothing, spiral-and-snack type of energy.

    But if you start thinking like someone who takes care of her body, even just a little bit? Your choices shift.

    That’s why I bang on about identity so much (and even built the IAGAM mindset method around it, it works, especially for GLP-1 users who’ve struggled with self-sabotage).

    And lucky for you, GLP-1s reduce the food noise and impulse-driven chaos—which means now’s the perfect time to sneak in those new identity-affirming habits without resistance biting you on the bum.

    This isn’t about perfection. This is about alignment. Tiny actions that say, “Yep, I’m that girl now.”

    If you haven’t read Why You Still Self-Sabotage on GLP-1s, start there—it’ll help you shift the mindset before layering on the habits.

    The 5-Minute Rule: Because Motivation Is a Flake

    Let’s be honest—if your habits rely on motivation, you’re stuffed.

    That’s why we build habits so small you can’t talk yourself out of them. Think “brushing your teeth” energy. No drama. No debate. Just done.

    Here’s what that might look like:

    • Morning win: A glass of electrolytes while your coffee brews = “I’m someone who supports her energy.”
    • Midday move: One stretch between meetings = “I’m someone who moves her body daily.”
    • Evening vibe: Write one sentence in a journal = “I’m someone who reflects and resets.”

    These micro GLP-1 habits make it easier to stay consistent—because let’s be honest, motivation is as flaky as British summer weather.

    This is exactly the kind of thing I walk you through in the IAGAM Mindset Weight Loss Ebook – how to make identity shifts actually stick through action, not just intention.

    GLP-1 HABITS

    Everyday GLP-1 Habits to Reinforce the New You

    Let’s break it down so it’s dead easy. You don’t need more things to do—you need the right things, done often.

    Nutrition Habits

    • Pre-log your meals or jot a rough plan in your Notes app
    • Add protein first at every meal = strong, fuelled queen
    • Batch a couple of gentle prep items (boiled eggs, soup, smoothie bags) = organised but make it casual

    Movement Habits

    • Five-minute walk before your first scroll of the day = smug and mobile
    • Do 10 squats while waiting for the kettle = thighs of steel pending
    • Put your workout clothes on even if you’re just walking = identity shift in fabric form

    Mindset Habits

    • Start the day with “I am becoming…” instead of “I should…”
    • Track one tiny win per day (no matter how silly it feels)
    • Visualise future you for 60 seconds—what she wears, eats, says, believes

    You don’t need a total life overhaul. You need consistency. Repeating small, identity-anchored habits until they become your default.

    The IAGAM Framework

    If you’ve ever found yourself slipping back into old habits, even with GLP-1s doing their job – it’s not because you’re lazy or broken. It’s because you’re still thinking like the “old you.”

    That’s why I created the IAGAM Mindset Weight Loss Ebook – a guide for shifting the stories you tell yourself, one tiny action at a time.

    • Action – What you consistently do and how to take each step
    • Growth – How you respond to challenges and learn from them
    • Achievement – What success really means to you and how to maintain it
    • Mindset – The thoughts and beliefs that drive it all

    This isn’t another “believe in yourself!” pep talk. It’s a mindset reset, with structure.

    • Journal pages, identity scripts, and mini wins that keep you going even when the scale stalls

    How to Make It Stick (Even on Your Couldn’t-Care-Less Days)

    Let’s be real—you won’t feel like it every day. That’s normal. Here’s how to stop yourself from binning the whole plan:

    Habit stacking – pair a new habit with something you already do:

    “After I brush my teeth, I’ll drink water.”
    “After I open my laptop, I’ll stretch my arms.”

    If/Then plans – your failsafe for chaotic mornings:

    “If I miss my walk, then I’ll do 2 minutes of stretching before bed.”
    “If I skip a meal, I’ll add protein to my next one. No guilt. Just action.”

    Track with grace, not judgement – One missed day? Doesn’t matter. Two missed days? Just reset. No shame spiral required.

    The Bottom Line (The Bit You Stick on Your Fridge)

    You don’t need a whole new personality—you just need habits that match the version of you you’re becoming.

    Keep them simple. Keep them doable. Keep them anchored to who you want to be—not who you used to be.

    Why You Still Self-Sabotage on GLP-1s (and How to Finally Rewire Your Identity)

    Still stuck in old habits on GLP-1s? Learn how identity shifts can help you break free from self-sabotage and finally stay consistent.

    GLP-1 meds like Mounjaro, Wegovy or Zepbound are brilliant. They calm the cravings, quiet the food noise, and finally give your brain a break from obsessing about what’s in the fridge. But they won’t magically change the story you’ve been telling yourself for years—the one that leads you straight back to self-sabotage, even when the scale is moving.

    And that story? The one where you’re “just someone who always struggles with food” or “can never keep the weight off”? That’s the one that’s got to go.

    Because sustainable weight loss—real, long-term, empowering change—starts in your head. Not your stomach.

    Why You Can’t Skip the Identity Bit (Even on GLP-1s)

    Here’s the thing: most people think weight loss is just about willpower. Cut the calories, get moving, job done. Right?

    Wrong.

    If your identity—the way you see yourself—is still stuck in “I’m a serial dieter” mode, it doesn’t matter how effective your meds are. You’ll always self-sabotage.

    This is exactly why I created the IAGAM Mindset Weight Loss Ebook – to help you shift that core identity and actually stay consistent (especially when motivation dips).

    Because your brain loves to prove itself right. If deep down you still believe you’re someone who always falls off the wagon, self-sabotage becomes inevitable—no matter the meds.

    Yep. Say it with me: fall off the wagon.

    You’ve got to become the kind of person who eats well, moves her body, and looks after herself—not just act like her for a few weeks.

    If you’re looking for a structured, step-by-step mindset reset (not just “be more positive!” advice), the IAGAM method is made for you.

    What GLP-1 Actually Gives You (Beyond the Appetite Control)

    Here’s where it gets juicy. GLP-1s don’t just help you eat less—they create space. Mental space. Emotional space.

    The kind of peace you haven’t felt in years because food’s been front and centre in your brain 24/7.

    And in that space? You can build something new.

    With the food noise turned down, you’ve finally got room to ask:

    • Who do I actually want to be?
    • What version of me am I becoming?
    • What am I done believing about myself?

    Without the constant food chatter, it’s easier to notice the thought patterns that trigger self-sabotage—and actually do something about them.

    This is your golden window to start shifting your self-perception. You’re not the same person who started this journey. You’ve changed. Now it’s time to update the identity to match.

    How to Reinvent Yourself (Without the Woo-Woo)

    We’re not going full “manifest your dream self” here (OK, maybe a little bit). But we are talking about identity-based change. Here’s how it works:

    Most people do this backwards:

    “Once I lose weight, I’ll be confident.”
    “Once I feel fit, I’ll start going to the gym.”
    “Once I stop bingeing, I’ll believe I’ve changed.”

    No, no, no. You flip it.

    Start acting like the person who already has what you want.
    Act like someone who eats well because she respects her body.
    Move like someone who knows she deserves to feel strong.
    Speak to yourself like someone who’s proud of how far she’s come.

    It’s not fake. It’s practice. And every time you repeat those actions, you’re casting a vote for your new identity.

    Most self-sabotage doesn’t start with actions—it starts with identity. If you still see yourself as “the one who always fails,” you’ll prove it.

    Struggling to pin down who you want to become? You’ll love How Do You Set IMACTful Goals That Actually Work on GLP-1.

    Journal Prompts to Shift That Identity (Yes, We’re Going There)

    If you want to go deeper, grab a cuppa and have a little scribble on these:

    • “The version of me who keeps the weight off believes _______.”
    • “I’m ready to stop identifying as someone who _______.”
    • “If I fully believed I could succeed, I would _______ today.”

    Don’t overthink it. You’re not writing a novel—just tuning in.

    The IAGAM Framework

    If you’ve ever found yourself slipping back into old habits, even with GLP-1s doing their job – it’s not because you’re lazy or broken. It’s because you’re still thinking like the “old you.”

    That’s why I created the IAGAM Mindset Weight Loss Ebook – a guide for shifting the stories you tell yourself, one tiny action at a time.

    IAGAM stands for:

    • Identity – Who you believe you are and who you want to be
    • Action – What you consistently do and how to take each step
    • Growth – How you respond to challenges and learn from them
    • Achievement – What success really means to you and how to maintain it
    • Mindset – The thoughts and beliefs that drive it all

    This isn’t another “believe in yourself!” pep talk. It’s a mindset reset, with structure.

    Inside, you’ll find:

    • A roadmap that takes you step by step through changing how you see yourself
    • Over 100 pages of empowering mindset prompts, habit strategies, and printable tools
    • Specific support for GLP-1 users – because your journey isn’t the same as everyone else’s
    • Journal pages, identity scripts, and mini wins that keep you going even when the scale stalls

    Make It Stick

    Alright, so how do you actually make this shift stick? A few tricks for you:

    Pick one ‘I am’ statement that matches who you want to be. Something like:
    “I am someone who nourishes her body.”
    “I am consistent.”
    “I am done with diets—I’m living differently now.”

    Back it up with one small action. Every day. No skipping. No excuses. Doesn’t have to be perfect—just consistent.

    Celebrate your thinking shifts. Not just your weight loss. Did you stop mid-snack and check in with your hunger? That’s a win. Did you notice an old story creep in and decide not to believe it? Massive win.

    Feeling stuck after a slip-up? Read What Should You Do When GLP-1 Weight Loss Stalls or Gets Hard? for a confidence boost and some tough love.

    The Bottom Line (a.k.a. The Pep Talk Bit)

    GLP-1s quiet the cravings. But you are the one rewriting the script.
    You’re not just here to lose weight—you’re here to become someone new.
    Someone who takes care of herself. Who knows her worth.
    And no longer sees food as the enemy or her body as broken.

    Next Steps:

    Changing how you see yourself is powerful—but your habits need to back it up too.

    • Grab my free GLP-1 Goal & Motivation Kickstart Kit to help you start acting like your future self today (no perfection required).
    • Read: What Habits Should You Build to Reinforce Your New Identity on GLP-1? — because mindset without action is just wishful thinking.
    • Or dive into the GLP-1 Fitness Tips – because movement is part of the new you too.

    It’s not about willpower. It’s about identity.

    And you, my friend, are allowed to change how you see yourself—starting now.

  • GLP-1 Getting Started

    Titration 101: How GLP-1 Dose Adjustments Work (Without Making You Miserable)

    So, you’ve started a GLP-1 medication — and you’re ready to make some changes. You’ve prepped your protein, downloaded your meal plan, and braced yourself for a calmer appetite… And now your provider throws out the word “titration.”

    Cue the blank stare.

    If you’re sitting there wondering why you’re not on the “proper” dose yet, or why the side effects seem to come and go like the British weather — don’t worry, you’re not broken, and you’re not doing it wrong.

    You’re just in the dose adjustment phase — also known as titration — and it’s completely normal.

    This post will break down exactly what titration is, what to expect during each stage, how to support your body (without starving it), and why going slow is actually the smartest thing you can do. Because let’s be real: the goal isn’t to suffer through it — the goal is to feel good and get results that last.

    Let’s get into it.

    Table of Contents

    What Is Titration (And Why Should You Care)?

    Titration simply means gradually increasing your dose over time. With GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide, the goal is to introduce the medication slowly, so your body doesn’t freak out and leave you clutching your stomach wondering why you ever signed up for this.

    It’s about easing your way in, so side effects stay manageable and your gut has time to adjust. Think of it as wading in at the shallow end instead of diving headfirst into icy water.

    The slower approach helps your body adapt to the appetite and digestion changes that come with GLP-1 meds — and that means fewer side effects, better results, and a much nicer experience overall.

    Typical Titration Schedule (Semaglutide vs Tirzepatide)

    Let’s break it down:

    Semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic):

    • Weeks 1–4: 0.25 mg
    • Weeks 5–8: 0.5 mg
    • Weeks 9–12: 1.0 mg
    • Increases continue every 4 weeks up to 2.4 mg

    Tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro):

    • Weeks 1–4: 2.5 mg
    • Weeks 5–8: 5 mg
    • Then increases every 4 weeks up to 15 mg

    Not everyone follows the same schedule exactly. If your body needs more time to adjust, you can stay at a dose longer. It’s your journey — not a race to the top.

    Common Side Effects (And When They Show Up)

    Each new dose can bring a bit of turbulence. Even if you were fine on your starting dose, don’t be surprised if side effects pop up with the next increase.

    The most common ones include:

    • Nausea
    • Feeling full quickly
    • Bloating or constipation
    • Burping (you might sound like a foghorn, it’s fine)
    • Low energy or lightheadedness
    • Food aversions, especially to rich foods or meat

    This is totally normal. Your digestion is slowing down, and your hunger hormones are shifting. Some people breeze through it, others feel every bump along the way.

    TITRATION

    What to Eat During Titration

    When your appetite’s on the fritz and your stomach’s feeling fussy, you need meals that work with your body — not against it.

    Here’s the golden trio: small portions, high protein, and easy digestion.

    Stick with:

    • Simple, high-protein meals (eggs, tofu, Greek yoghurt, fish, lean chicken)
    • Fibre-rich veg like spinach, courgette, carrots, or blended soups
    • Low-fat, low-sugar options that don’t overwhelm your gut
    • Hydration and electrolytes to support energy and digestion

    If you need inspiration, check out my GLP-1 Meal Plan packed with ideas that won’t make you want to gag by week two. I’ve also got plenty of Zepbound meals, semaglutide snacks, and protein-packed recipes that can get you through even the dodgiest dose increases.

    What NOT to Do During Titration

    • Don’t skip meals — even if you’re not hungry. Your body still needs fuel.
    • Don’t jump to the next dose before you’re ready. You’re allowed to slow down.
    • Don’t force foods that feel wrong — switch it up with smoothies, soups, or lighter meals.
    • Don’t panic if your appetite doesn’t crash straight away — some people feel it more at higher doses.

    This is a metabolic change, not a miracle zap.

    Mindset Tips to Get You Through

    This phase can mess with your head — especially if your weight loss hasn’t kicked in or your energy’s taken a dip. Here’s how to keep your cool:

    • Track non-scale victories like reduced cravings, better control, or less food noise
    • Use a symptom tracker so you can spot patterns and adjust meals accordingly
    • Focus on habit-building over perfection — consistent GLP-1 friendly meals > all-or-nothing thinking
    • Don’t compare your journey to someone else’s “I lost 10lbs in 2 weeks” nonsense

    This isn’t about speed. It’s about building something that actually lasts.

    When Titration Ends and Maintenance Begins

    Once you hit your target dose — or the dose that’s right for your body — things start to feel more stable. Hunger levels even out. Your energy comes back. Food noise fades. And you’ll start feeling more in control of your eating and your day-to-day routines.

    This is where your efforts start compounding. Those protein-rich meals, the walks, the strength training, the meal planning — they start paying off in a way that feels sustainable and freeing.

    Final Thought: Take Your Time

    There is no gold medal for hitting the highest dose first. Plenty of people lose weight and feel amazing on the lower or mid-range doses, especially when they combine it with:

    • A simple, balanced GLP-1 diet plan
    • Basic meal prep and planning routines
    • Joyful movement or beginner strength training
    • Small habit changes that actually stick

    Going slower doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. It means you’re doing it safely, mindfully, and in a way your body will thank you for.

    You don’t need to white-knuckle your way through this. You’re allowed to go steady — and still succeed.

    Next Steps:

    Still not sure which one is right for you?

    You’re not behind. You’re just getting started — and you’re doing brilliantly.

    The Ultimate Weight Loss Mindset Shift Guide: How to Stay Motivated, Smash Your Goals & Transform Your Life

    mindset shift

    Let’s be real—if losing weight, building confidence, and smashing goals were just about diets and workout plans, we’d all be walking around like fitness models. But it’s not, is it? It all comes down to a mindset shift—because if your brain isn’t on board, you’ll be back to square one faster than you can say ‘Monday diet restart’.

    If you’re sick of self-doubt, yo-yo motivation, and giving up before you really get started, you need a mindset shift—a proper one.

    Not just a “I’ll try to be positive” moment, but a full-on, rewire-your-thinking, level-up-your-life kind of shift.

    And that’s exactly what this post is about. So buckle up, because I’m about to show you how to transform your mindset, build motivation that lasts, and make real progress toward your goals—whether that’s losing weight, getting fit, or just feeling like your best self.

    Why Mindset Matters for Success

    Ever wonder why some people seem to stay consistent and smash their goals, while others (maybe you?) start strong but lose steam halfway through? Spoiler: It’s all in the mindset.

    When you believe you can change, you act differently. You stop seeing setbacks as “proof you’ve failed” and start seeing them as “part of the process.” You stop relying on motivation (because, let’s face it, motivation is about as reliable as British summer) and start building habits that keep you going.

    Why Motivation Alone Won’t Get You There

    Let’s talk about motivation—that sneaky little thing that shows up strong when you start something new (hello, day one excitement!) but disappears when things get tough.

    The truth? Motivation is a scam. Okay, maybe not completely, but it’s not enough. The real winners? They rely on discipline, habits, and consistency, not just motivation.

    So, how do you stay consistent when motivation disappears faster than a snack during a Netflix binge? You rewire your mindset to focus on long-term habits instead of short-term excitement.

    The Most Common Mindset Mistakes (And How to Fix Them)

    1. All-or-Nothing Thinking

    Ever thought, “I’ve already had one unhealthy meal, might as well write the whole day off”? That, my friend, is all-or-nothing thinking—and it’s wrecking your progress.

    Instead of seeing things as all good or all bad, reframe it: one choice doesn’t define your journey. A slip-up isn’t a disaster—it’s just one moment. The key? Move on and keep going.

    2. Setting Unrealistic Goals

    We’ve all done it—set huge, impossible goals in a fit of motivation. “I’ll lose 20 pounds in a month,” “I’ll work out every single day,” “I’ll never eat sugar again.”

    And what happens? You burn out, feel like a failure, and end up back where you started. The fix? Set IMPACT goals—intentional, purposeful, achievable, and realistic.

    3. Focusing Only on Results Instead of the Process

    If you’re only chasing quick weight loss, a perfect body, or instant results, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. Real change happens when you focus on the process—building healthy habits, enjoying workouts, and feeling stronger.

    The Secret to Long-Term Success: The Be, Do, Have Mindset

    Here’s where things get interesting—because if you’re serious about real transformation, you need to understand the Be, Do, Have mindset.

    Most people think:
    “Once I have the results, then I’ll do the things that successful people do, and I’ll finally be confident, happy, and successful.”

    But this is completely backwards. Instead, flip it:

    • Be the person first – Decide that you’re already someone who prioritises health and fitness.
    • Do the actions that align with that identity – Show up, eat well, move your body.
    • Have the results naturally – Weight loss, strength, confidence—all as a by-product of who you’ve become.

    How to Stay on Track & Keep a Strong Mindset

    • Surround yourself with positive influences – Follow inspiring people, join supportive communities, and cut out the negativity.
    • Use affirmations and visualisation – Speak positively to yourself and keep your goals in sight.
    • Track your progress (beyond the scale!) – Celebrate small wins like energy levels, mood, and strength gains.
    • Use the right tools to support your mindset shifts – Journals, books, and habit trackers can keep you focused and motivated.

    Conclusion: The Only Mindset Shift You Need to Succeed

    At the end of the day, success isn’t about finding the perfect diet, workout, or motivation hack. It’s about changing the way you think—because when you shift your mindset, everything else follows.

    So, where do you start?

    Pick one small change today. Maybe it’s flipping a negative thought into a positive one. Maybe it’s moving on from a “bad” meal instead of spiralling. Maybe it’s just believing that you CAN change.
