Sarah's Comeback
Sarah hadn't worked out consistently since her second pregnancy. She had tried five apps, two boot camps, and one trainer who 'made her feel awful.' She wanted to lose 20 lbs but more honestly — she wanted to stop dreading her own reflection.
We built a 3-day per week strength plan around her real schedule, paired with a non-restrictive nutrition framework (target protein, no banned foods). Weekly check-ins focused as much on sleep and stress as on weight.
12 weeks: down 22 lbs, 4 inches off her waist, deadlifted her bodyweight for reps. She told her best friend before she told her scale.
"I didn't realize how much shame I was carrying until I started working with someone who refused to use it as a tool."
