At this point, Courtney had lost over 3 stone and had only missed ONE session since starting.\nWhat I didn’t know then was how her story would end.\nCourtney stayed with me for over 2 years. She left in July 2025, down 26 kilograms total. Six months later, she’s kept it all off - still running consistently, still training consistently.\nShe learned the system. She didn’t need me anymore. That was always the goal.\nIn this episode, Courtney shares:\n• Why structure (not motivation) changed everything\n• How she discovered she was massively undereating (not overeating)\n• Why she can have ice cream for dinner and still make progress\n• The mindset shift that made consistency effortless\n• How she went from avoiding the gym to actually enjoying it\nThis is proof that sustainable transformation is possible for teachers - not through 90-day quick fixes, but through learning a system that works with your life.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/5Pqzc3h1eg-wI0bJ4mlHviLOfOj076LzeuX1geZMv0k/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xMGQx/ZjFlZmQxOGIzMmEx/Y2EyMjI1MjZlNGU2/Zjg2My5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
