For those of you who don’t already know, I am Sophie the face behind Soph-obsessed. I’m a married mum of two living in Cheshire with my two French Bulldogs!
Where It All Began
I started this blog in 2015 as a mum just blogging about life with a child. For a long time, this blog was Lifestyle based – touching on all aspects of my life and then when I became pregnant with Hugo it became more baby, breastfeeding and parenting-centric.
As my children have grown older the direction of this blog has changed and now focuses back on me as the centre. I took a long break during COVID-19 and began focusing on my passion which is Manifesting. I trained to become a coach and I started to work with a great group of women helping them on their manifesting journey. As much as I loved coaching it was very demanding on my time and on reflection I think I became burnt out. Although I do still work with a small group of clients on their manifesting journeys my focus shifted back towards this blog because I realised that I missed writing. I returned to this blog and began documenting my life again.
Weight Loss Journey
At the beginning of 2024, I decided it was time to take my weight loss journey seriously having spent the past few years dipping in and out. I’ve always written about weight loss and shared my own journey and it felt only right to do that this time around too. This blog has now turned into a very weight loss focused place as I share my own journey but also research and share trending topics and try and test supplements, diets and products on the market so you don’t have to. Although I am still a mum so do still share that aspect of my life as well as what I’m using, loving and doing!
Although I previously used Slimming World to shift the extra pounds with great success this time around I have chosen Calorie Counting. For me, Calorie Counting fits into my lifestyle much easier and I have had the best success with it than any other weight loss plan I have ever done. Since January 2024 I have lost over 3 stone! During that time I have been on four holidays where I haven’t stuck fully to my plan, drank alcohol and eaten treats and takeaways yet I’m still standing here today the lightest I’ve been since I was a small child!
I have felt this time around that I have lost weight without much effort or feeling as if I am deprived! If you want more information on Calorie Counting then these blogs are a great place to start. Having previously tried Calorie Counting with no success I was sceptical but it turns out eating a measly low number of calories really isn’t sustainable and not at all the way to go. If that sounds similar to your experience it is likely you haven’t been eating enough calories and the approach has been wrong! If you want to give it another go and you want some help and support you can join my FREE Facebook group here and I can calculate the correct calorie deficit for you!
