The magic pill 💊💪🏼💖 I have finally realised, at the age of 42, that “the magic pill” we are ALL looking for is resistance training PLUS food tracking. Sorry, but there’s just no way around those sneaky calories and figuring out our energy balance if we want to lose fat and keep it off (by building lean muscle). End of story. You’re welcome. Lifting weights and tracking food can feel daunting for many people. If you’re not sure where to start, invest in a coach 🤓. #thephoenixmethod #thephoenixmethodchallenge #coachmarkcarroll #trainwithcmc #icanbeanything #youcanbeanything #barbie #pink #supplements #reinvention #barbiefromtheashes #mealplanning #checkin #progresspic #inthebeginning #beyourbestfriend #progresspics #absaremadeinthekitchen #homemade #groceries #lifting #resustancetraining #longevity #tracking

Here’s why I take pics at the gym, and it’s not for the reason you think. No I don’t just do it to show off or because I think I look good. I do it because it gives me a history of my progress! There have been many periods of time where I don’t feel like I’ve made progress or gotten any stronger. But because I’ve taken progress pics over the years, I can go back, look at them, and realize that even when I don’t feel like it, I AM making progress. There is no better motivator than seeing your progress over time. When the scale is staying the same or your measurements are sticking, look back at old photos and you’ll realize that you are making progress, even in small ways. Sometimes it’s just the extra motivation you need to keep going💪🏻💪🏻 LA #ProgressPics #OnlineCoaching #WomensOnlineCoach
GIRL, you have come a long way since we first met!!! #progresspics
Let’s talk about bodyweight fluctuations this Saturday. Your weight can change +/- 5 lb in 1 day (or more if you’re bigger). Bodyweight fluctuations are completely normal and healthy. Why do they occur? • Hormones • Carb intake • Water intake • Stress • Sleep Testosterone and growth hormone can increase extracellular water retention (15827107). Estradiol lowers the operating point for osmoregulation of AVP and thirst and increases plasma volume (PMC2849969). You’re essentially more sensitive to retain and gain water with elevated estrogen. Progesterone can influence aldosterone production (salt retaining hormone and water follows salt; 34121620). Carbs can add weight and make you hold water. For every 1 gram of glycogen you store, you’ll hold ~3 grams of water. If you eat 200 g carbs, you’ll hold ≥600 g water. This is 800 g which is almost 2 lb. If you add salt to meals, this number will increase. Of course, fluid will increase water intake. Remember however, fluids are also found in foods, and foods vary based on their water content. Drinking fluid or eating food will increase water retention. Stress can trigger the release of cortisol which can help you retain water. I wake up heavier after leg and back day, not because of significant diet or fluid changes, but because the workouts are more stressful. A lack of sleep can increase cortisol, causing further water retention. You can see many factors you encounter on an everyday basis will influence your weight. When judging weight loss/gain, consider month-to-month changes rather than daily changes. Celebrating “I lost 2 lb from Wednesday to Thursday” is misleading. Stick to your long-term script and make changes accordingly rather than overreact to daily fluctuations in weight. Also, consider all the factors that influence water retention and weight (steps, sleep, stress, fatigue, etc.) rather than solely putting the emphasis on nutrition. Nutrition is the biggest, but certainly not only, element dictating weight changes 🤓 📱 App Store → Physique Lab 💪 💻 physique-u.com → Hypertrophy Course 🏛️ 🧬 DM me for telehealth services 🩺
Stop putting your happiness on hold! How often have you heard yourself saying “I’ll be happy when..” or “I’ll start that when…” Don’t spend the rest of your life waiting to finally be happy or finally start living how you want to live, because the right time will never come, and you could be taking for granted what you already have now. If you’ve read this and it’s resonated with you and your mindset, take this as your sign to just start, that’s all you need to do. Start the gym today, start eating healthy today, start being grateful for what you’ve got today. Dont hold yourself back for any longer than you already have.
💖 Did you know? 💖 There is still no consensus opinion on what exactly causes fluid retention at different times of our menstrual cycle. A study published in 2011* monitored the menstrual symptoms of 62 healthy, normal BMI, non-smoking women over a 12 month period, comparing regular exercisers (runners) to non-exercisers and found that: 💖 Fluid retention +/- “bloating” symptoms were reported to peak on the first day of the period (bleeding/flow), then ease; and 💖 Regular exercisers experienced WORSE fluid retention than sedentary women; this is thought to be due to higher levels of oxytocin (feel good hormone) and vasopressin (fluid retention hormone) following strenuous exercise. Tiny micro-tears in the muscle also trigger an inflammatory response, which includes tissue oedema (fluid/swelling). The most important thing to know is that fluid shifts over the course of our cycle are NORMAL. It is NOT a “hormone imbalance”and does NOT require special supplements to “fix” it, despite what lots of Insta influencers would have you believe 🤦🏼♀️. Supplements that *may* actually help with menstrual cycle symptoms include chaste tree, calcium, magnesium and evening primrose oil. If you feel like your menstrual cycle mood and physical symptoms are truly difficult to live with (and perhaps may be suffering from a disorder such as PCOS or PMDD), please speak to someone who actually went to the School of the Human Body (i.e. a doctor). You don’t have to suffer in silence. 🙏🏼💖 *Obstet Gynecol Int. 2011; 2011: 138451.

Intermediate. Cycle 3. Done. I restarted my journey in January of this year weighing the most Iv ever weighed. This time I was more determined than ever. Iv made it work for me more than I could imagine. Iv been kind to myself. Iv pushed myself hard and Iv enjoyed the things in life that conventionally you shouldn’t enjoy if you are trying to get fitter. Iv realised without that stuff non of this is worth it and thats the difference this time round. No beating myself up. No quitting and no questioning all my decisions. I stand here 25.2 llbs lighter than I started. More patient. More energised. More motivated than Iv ever been. Iv got a long way to go but Iv already come a bloody long way! Trust the process and this plan works. I’m moving at a steady pace and one that I’m enjoying more than I could have ever dreamed of. Thank you for all your support and comments on my posts. We are all in this together and you win we all win 🥰 @thebodycoach @bodycoachapp #fitnessjourney #progress #progresspics #goals #joewicks #hiit #hiitworkouts #fitness

Shoot two we did over a week ago, and her goal was to just be a better, stronger, and fitter version of herself from October... The confidence glow up was insane 🥺🥺🥺 Increased muscle tone and definition ☑️ Strength is at its all-time highest ☑️ Managed to hold a pull-up for the photos!!!! ☑️ (Swipe to see 👀💪) More fat dropped, shape is at its leanest ☑️ I'm one super proud coach!!!!! 🥰 If you fancy training for a shoot like Rach, send me a message and come and join a fab group of gals 🫶 . . . #fitnessphotography #photoshoot #fitnessmotivation #fatloss #muscletone #jazzgracept #gymmotivation #progresspics #beforeandafter #fatlossmotivation #weightlossjourney

I rediscovered my confidence. And it had nothing to do with weightloss. I used to think weightloss=confidence. The confidence didn’t come from losing the weight. The confidence came from making a commitment to myself and taking care of myself. . . . . . . . . . #NSV #nonscalevictory #wls #weightlosssurgery #vsg #vsgcommunity #vsgjourney #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #body #curvy #transformationpics #beforeandafter #progresspics #beforeandaftertransformation #weightlossinspiration #dontgiveup #cantstopwontstop #noexcuses #bodypositivity #selflove #healthylifestyle #healthyrecipes #betterformyself #betterformykids #prioritizingmyself #strongwoman #womensupportingwomen
Week 11 — lots to unpack! Pls enjoy my song choice & excuse the constant change in background, my apartment lighting is iffy at best lol I won’t talk much here because I did plenty of that in the slides, but I have one last thing to share: Despite the scale not budging this week — I actually do look leaner in progress pictures & feel it in the way my clothing fits me. I had some great non scale wins in terms of my effort & follow through. I got an Apple Watch, and noticed my RHR is lower than it used to be. My endurance is improving & so is my strength in the gym. So this week ≠ a wash because I didn’t “lose weight” — same goes for you 🤎 If these posts are helpful, please let me know! Drop any questions you have below ⬇️ 1:1 coaching spaces are OPEN 🔗
A little friday transformation ✨ Who would have thought that so much could change in two years? These two pictures not only show how I've changed externally, but they also tell the story of my journey. It wasn't easy - there were highs and lows, health setbacks, and times when I didn't progress in training as much as I would've liked. That's why the "After" may not be what it could've been if everything had gone smoothly, but it didn't. That's why I'm all the prouder to have stuck with it and always believed in myself. We all have our own challenges and starting points, so we shouldn't compare ourselves to others. Each person is unique, and we all pursue different goals. I've learned to be proud of every step, even if it's small. A huge thank you to my biggest support, @dan.erafitness - without you, I probably would have given up many times ❤️ I hope my before-and-after picture inspires you to believe in yourself and never give up. Remember that every small step counts. Be patient and stay motivated—sooner or later, everyone reaches their goal 🫶🏻 By the way, I still haven't reached mine. But that's also because goals can change along the way, as this was the case for me. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions or if you'd like to work with me to achieve your body goals 💌 🇩🇪🇦🇹 Deutsche Version in den Kommentaren ⬇️
Making the transition into being a personal trainer, I knew I needed to lead by example. At the start of 2024, I made a commitment to myself to be healthier and fitter. This resulted in some lifestyle adjustments, but it’s been so rewarding! This commitment helped me perform at my best during the Open and quarterfinals, and this body recomposition has me feeling better (mentally and physically). In the second picture, I’ve shared my @inbodyusa scans (up to date). What I love to show is the fluctuations throughout this journey. The progress wasn’t linear, and there were some spikes that would make anyone curious. I trusted the progress and knew that the results would vary from check ins, but I’m so happy with the results from the last 3 months! Quick summary of the results: ⬇️ weight ⬇️ body fat % ⬇️ body fat mass 🔄 skeletal muscle mass If you are ready to take control of your health and want to become a healthier and more fit version of yourself, let’s have a chat! I’d love to see how I can support you and offer guidance throughout your health and fitness journey 💪

Progress pics, from the start of my journey, to now. #progresspics #beforeandafter
It's been awhile since I last did progress pics, because frankly, the scales haven't moved for over two months so I didn't see the point. Today I asked my friend and mentor Chelsea to take pictures to use them as a "before pic" so we can start an 8 week challenge - but the before pic, quickly became an 'after' pic when we compared them to the last pictures taken. Just goes to show that the scales really doesn't mean a thing! It's just a number, it doesn't represent you and it doesn't show the full story! I'm so proud of how far I've come! @chelseaxsheehanx thank you for being my inspiration and wing girl! #progresspics #gymlife #nonscalevictories
In THREE days, I start my 12 Week Push. No alcohol No caffeine that isn’t coffee No nicotine At least a gallon of water a day Sleep 6-8 hours a day 4 lifting workouts a week 3 main cardio workouts a week Nutrition dialed in Supplements dialed in …and a whole bunch of soul searching I’ve even added some personal goals to limit time that I waste and focus on my own heart and soul. And I’ve roped four adventurous souls into doing some or all of the above with me because they want to push themselves within reason to at least TRY to do even half of that. I’m really excited to take myself and others on our own journey of focus. If you want in too, there’s still time. If you wait and see what happens and then want in… I still have plenty of room to start you when you’re ready. #gym #trainer #coach #workout #fitness #progress #progresspics #transformation #bodybuilding #water #drinkwater #hydrate #captainvalhalla #mrhealthandfitness #tiktokfitness #mrhealthandfitness2024 @mrhealthandfit

I’ve been sewing almost every day, but not taking many photos. This pattern is one of my go-to patterns for charity quilts. It’s super easy, but looks more complicated. I just need to add a nice border, and it’ll be ready to quilt! Pattern: Strip Twist by @quiltville_bonnie
I just realized it is almost my 2 year Carnivore Anniversary!!! June 1st will start year 3! 🥩🥩 A year of that I had a necrotic gallbladder that went undiagnosed. A year of high doses of prednisone. A year and a half of auto immune problems and trying 6 different immunosuppressants before finding the right one. Months of not being able to lift and sometimes walk. WHAT A RIDE!!! Also 1.8 mile walk this morning and a 1 mile walk this afternoon. #keto #OMAD #weightlossjourney #carnivoretransformation #intermittentfasting #pcos #keto #lowcarb #weightloss #weightlosstransformation #ketodiet #lowcarbdiet #carnivoredietsuccessstories #fasting #sidebyside #carnivore #autoimmunewarrior #carnivorediet #fasting #eatmeat #progresspics #beforeandafter #beforeandduring #carnivoreweightloss #carnivoreupdate #goalcrusher #sidebyside #weightlossupdate #meateater #facetoface #facetofacetransformation #celebratethewins
It may look like I dropped 10-15 lbs - but in reality I was 110 in that picture on the left, and 109 on the right. The more muscle you build, the better you look. I simply have more muscle and have recomped my body overtime. Honestly, nothing fancy - I eat mostly whole foods, I train hard and recover hard, I get a lot of sunlight and outdoor time, and I take care of myself by relaxing as well. The secret is in the consistency that you are avoiding. If you need help, my DM’s are always open in relation to fitness & health. 🛡️ #bodyrecomp #training #nutrition #strengthandconditioning #progresspics #weightloss #fatloss #musclegain
✨updates✨ been off a bit taking care of my Dad while he’s recovering from surgery. I finally switched off from Victoza to Saxenda starting today. I was dealing with too many plateaus and my body was ready to move up to a higher dose and Dr. gave the green light. Took me 2 months to even get Saxenda. 🫠Hopefully now I’ll lose the last 59-75 pounds 😁 #liraglutidevictoza #saxenda #fatloss #weightlosstransformation #fattofit #fattofittransformation #plussizecommunity #weightlosscommunity #healthjourney #victoza #victozaforweightloss #metabolicsyndrome #prediabetesisreversible #fattofit #healthjourney #fatlossforwomen #fatnesstofitness #weight #sheddinginchesandpounds #weightstruggles #singleandplussize #bostonweightloss #liraglutideweightloss #weightlosstips #weightlossprogress #weightlossbeforeandafter #progressnotperfection #progresspics #sidebysideprogresspic

If you need a flashlight to shine some light on your progress when the scale isn’t moving, I’m your gal! Most of my clients have a hard time acknowledging their success when they can’t see progress on the scale or in a picture. For so long I tied “success” for eating and working out to physical attributes. Weight going down. Pants fitting looser. People applauding me for my discipline. And yes, it’s nice to see muscles and have people compliment you, but what happens when your wins aren’t visual? Do they not count? Do you not deserve to feel good about yourself? Do you try even harder? Do you think you’re failing? Sometimes you need someone to point out your progress when you’ve glossed over it because it doesn’t look how you expected. Once they show you— it gets easier for you to see for yourself. I hope you are giving yourself gold stars for all of your eating and exercising wins whether they show up in a picture or not. xo, Ang

Apologies in advance for the cringe progress post! But I turned 40 today, and I feel proud of what I've accomplished over the last 6 years. In 2018 my first son was born. I was lazy, gluttonous, and getting fat. I didn't want my kids to see me like that. My wife was in better shape than me after giving birth and her intense fitness routine inspired me. I told myself I'm gonna get shredded. 6 years later, and I'm blown away by what I've accomplished. I ditched conventional nutrition advice, stopped drinking alcohol, and just started eating lots of red meat! I feel like I discovered the fountain of youth. I've added fruit into my diet as well, and I'm convinced that meat+fruit is the ideal human diet that keeps you young, healthy, and strong. At 40 years old, I'm in the best shape of my life, have excellent blood work, and I'm proud to be a great role model to all my meat eating boys.

“How do you have the time to do all of this?” Over the past 4.5 weeks since starting to turn my life around, I’ve heard this so many times! How do I have time to food prep? To train? To sleep? How am I more happy and energetic than before when I have to work harder at this new lifestyle?! It’s a cliche, but I have the exact same number of hours in my day as everyone else. Yes, it is a juggling act. Yes, things have to give on most days, because I CAN’T do it all. So for demonstration purposes, I made a list of what fills my days. 1-5 are my non-negotiables (job unfortunately because I kinda have to turn up to that 😜). But seriously, my life is very full. Don’t get me wrong: I would dearly love to have more time for hobbies, TV/movies and seeing friends more regularly, but unfortunately if I want to get healthy and stay healthy in this world I must include food prep, training/NEAT and sleep in my non-negotiables. Of course there will be special occasions or indeed entire weeks where I won’t train or do food prep in future, but this is my general rule for how life has to be if I want to be the best version of myself. Thankfully, preparing delicious, healthy meals and training are actually hobbies for me AND I have beautiful friends who also train (in gym, running and Taekwondo) so I get friend time in too 🥰. Yes, I suck at getting my housework/laundry done, but have an amazing hubby who does the lion’s share of that so I can focus on the groceries and food prep for each week. I know it sucks, but there are no shortcuts, no way to get extra time. You just have to make your own list, workout what can actually be sacrificed and prioritise the basics. I promise that once you get yourself into a new routine and start feeling better, you’ll be so glad you re-jigged your life priorities 🙏🏼💖 #thephoenixmethod #thephoenixmethodchallenge #coachmarkcarroll #trainwithcmc #icanbeanything #youcanbeanything #barbie #pink #supplements #reinvention #barbiefromtheashes #mealplanning #checkin #progresspic #inthebeginning #beyourbestfriend #progresspics #absaremadeinthekitchen #homemade #groceries #foodelitism #makeyourbed #gratitude #priorities #selfcare

My best friend for over 2 decades and my biggest supporter. No one on this earth has my back like her and no one has been more supportive of me on this journey. She was right there travelling with me from Canada to Mexico for my VSG surgery and through my milestones. So grateful for having someone along side me through this journey and through life. . . . . . . . . . #NSV #nonscalevictory #wls #weightlosssurgery #vsg #vsgcommunity #vsgjourney #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #body #curvy #transformationpics #beforeandafter #progresspics #beforeandaftertransformation #weightlossinspiration #dontgiveup #cantstopwontstop #noexcuses #bodypositivity #selflove #healthylifestyle #healthyrecipes #betterformyself #betterformykids #prioritizingmyself #strongwoman #womensupportingwomen

Your reminder that scale weight isn't everything and is actually one of the worst and most inaccurate metrics of progress. Even having known this and being aware of body composition effects, water retention, and all the other factors that can affect it, I still fell into the trap recently that we all do from time to time of chasing the number, in this case for me it was bulking up to 80kg. Nearly two months between these two pics and considering the fact I'm averaging 4000+ calories a day you can imagine the discontent I feel and concern at lack of progress when I see I'm pretty much the same weight on both given or take 0.25 kg. That in mind, and determined to get myself out of that rut and prove I've grown not just in strength(because I know all my pr numbers have increased in this time), but in size too, I found these two pictures and honestly the difference even surprised me. How my legs can be so obviously bigger and the scale still say the same blows my mind, but it's proof that just because that number doesn't change doesn't mean you're not making progress, be it losing or gaining!, building muscle or burning fat. If you're eating right and training hard, the results are happening, take your progress pics, and use the scale as only one small part of your progress checking, and don't take it too seriously ! #gym #gymprogress #gymmotivation #progress #progresspics #leggains #leggrowth #quads #realitycheck #reminder #scaleweight #scaleweightmeansnothing

“You’re glowing” is the best compliment to receive… But the “glow” that we seek isn’t sold in stores; It can’t be bought. We always are searching for the makeup look or the skincare product or the smoothie recipe that will get us that look. While it’s true, some of these things do make you look like you’re glowing, and some can even help with that feeling, the glow we seek has little to do with anything external, and everything to do with what’s on the inside “The glow” is an energetic expression of the life, the beauty, the essence within you. When you feel good, when you are truly happy, when you are nourishing your mind, body and soul, you radiate a glow that is undeniably an expression of the beauty that is within. You could try all the skincare and makeup products in the world, but if you don’t feel good on the inside, you aren’t getting that glow you’re looking for. That’s not to say the external things like makeup or juice or fashion don’t contribute to your glow, because for many, these things actually make you happy, they are a creative outlet. And THATS what contributes to the glow. Glow is an inside job, discover what that feels like for you and trust that the better you feel, the more radiant and magnetic you become. When I feel I’m glowing and radiating my best energy, it’s when I’m doing these things🤍

This is a reminder to celebrate your growth no matter what. Growth isn’t always visible to everyone. I hesitated posting this because in my honest opinion there’s not much of a difference between the way I looked when I first wore this outfit as to when I wore it today. But that’s doesn’t mean growth hasn’t been made. Not only am I physically stronger but I am also mentally, emotionally AND spiritually stronger as well. So take the progress pics and document your journey anyways you see fit because you will want to look back (regardless of how much you’ve changed physically) and see how far you’ve come just as a person. You don’t need to explain yourself to anyone for loving yourself loudly. Love you 🫶🏻 #progresspics #fitnessjourney #gymrat #thenandnow #gymlife #weightlifting #musclemommy #ilovejim
Oh hey, it’s me…just here with a few progress pics. This bulk hasn’t been the cleanest of all time, but I’m just enjoying life while still finding time for the gym and good, healthy foods! I am also here to tell you that it IS possible to have fun with what you’re eating and how you’re training…I promise that it doesn’t have to be torture. If you need some help with any of these things, or even if you want to take your fitness journey to the next level, let me know! 💪🏽💭 #bulking #fitnessjourney #girlswholift #fitmom #fitspo #motivation #dedication #consistency #healthylifestyle #balance #strengthtraining #strongwomen #progresspics #legday #progressnotperfection #nutrition #personaltrainer #beyondflex

Gluttonous Yeti: A depraved beast that lives in the snow and lives for the hunt, driven by an insatiable hunger. A cursed being, afflicted to feel starved for its entire life, and yet it is still able to hunt with tactics and debilitating psychology warfare. Many have attempted to hunt the beast, but in its terrain, it's unstoppable. Instead, the locals gift it prisoners and drifters, all in an attempt to stop it from increasing its hunting radius. . . . #drawing #drawingprogress #drawingprogress #pensketch #pendrawing #blackandwhitedrawing #blackpendrawing #blackpensketch #conceptsketch #conceptart #creaturedesign #creaturesketch #shading #crosshatching #progresspics #swipe #yeti #horror #horrordrawing
