Hi, I’m Sophie.
I’m a mum of two from Cheshire, England, creator of Soph-obsessed, and someone who knows exactly what it’s like to spend years stuck in the cycle of losing weight, gaining it back, and starting over again.
I started Soph-obsessed in 2015 as a place to document everyday family life, parenting adventures, shopping finds, recipes and everything in between. Over the years the blog has evolved alongside me, and today it has become a space where I share my experiences of weight loss, wellbeing, family life and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.
My Weight Loss Journey
In January 2024 I decided enough was enough.
After more than two decades of yo-yo dieting, trying countless plans, and constantly feeling like I was failing, I decided to take a different approach to my weight loss journey.
Instead of looking for another quick fix, I focused on creating a calorie deficit that I could actually stick to while still enjoying family meals, holidays, takeaways and the occasional treat.
Since then I have lost over 7 stone and reached my healthiest weight in years.
The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that successful weight loss doesn’t require perfection. It requires consistency and if I can do it you can too! On this blog you’ll find all of the ‘secrets’ to my success and all of the tips and tricks I used in my own journey.
That’s why you’ll find practical, realistic advice throughout this website rather than extreme diets or unrealistic promises.
What You’ll Find On Soph-obsessed
Today, Soph-obsessed focuses on:
- Weight loss advice and motivation
- Calorie counting tips
- Healthy recipes
- Fitness and wellbeing
- Family life and motherhood
- Product reviews and recommendations
- Lifestyle content, travel, beauty, fashion and everyday life
Everything I share comes from real-life experience. If I’ve written about it, there’s a good chance I’ve either tried it, researched it extensively, or lived through it myself. Know that if I say I like something, it’s because I genuinely do – even when I work with brands, I am selective and picky, and my opinion cannot be bought off – I’m a stubborn Taurus after all! In the beginning, I would share my children’s faces here on the blog, but as my children have grown older, I have stopped this. They are still featured, but their privacy is always respected and discussed before anything is posted.
Life Beyond Weight Loss
When I’m not writing, you’ll usually find me spending time with my husband, my two boys, or my two French Bulldogs, Cino and Coco. I enjoy the gym, I love reading, walking, travelling, baking sourdough, shopping and finding ways to make life healthier without making it miserable.
