You have lost weight before. Keeping it off is the hard part.
The problem was never willpower. It was that you had no way of telling whether the thing you were doing was working, so you either quit too early or held on to it long after it stopped.
Here your food, your training and your weight land on one screen, and a coach reads that screen every week and changes your targets when the numbers say to. Not when a calendar says to.
Why this exists
I have been at both ends of this

2008Getting ready for the NABBA SA comp. I trained like it was a job, because for a couple of years it more or less was.

2017Nine years later. 148 kilos, on a beach I did not want to be photographed on, in the middle of a divorce.

148 kg, then 106 kgSix months apart. Same bloke, same phone, different year.
That middle photo is the one I nearly did not put on here. Not because of how I look in it, but because of what was going on the week it was taken. Sometimes life is tough and your body is the last thing on the list, and then one day you see a photo and do not recognise the person in it.
I did that six months on my own, with a notebook and a lot of guessing, and two false starts before I worked out what was actually moving the number. It was also faster than I would coach anyone to do it now. I am not putting it here as a target and I am not telling you the same thing will happen to you, because I do not know that and neither does anyone who promises it.
I am putting it here because the guessing was the worst part, and everything on this site exists so you do not have to do that bit alone.
The method
Your rest day should not look like your hardest day
Nearly every plan hands you one calorie number and expects you to eat it every day, including the day you did nothing and the day you trained twice. That is why they feel like starvation on Tuesday and a free-for-all on Sunday.
You get three sets of numbers instead. Protein stays flat, fat stays close to flat, and carbohydrate does the moving, because carbohydrate is what fuels hard work.

Example only. Yours are worked out from your own height, weight, age, activity and goal. You can have that part free right now, before you talk to anybody, and your meal plan is then built to hit whichever day you are having.
Every week
The bit that actually makes it work
1
You log the weekFood item by item with a barcode scanner, or roughly if that is more realistic. Sessions, and your weigh-ins. Partial beats nothing, every time.
2
You fill in the check-inIt saves as a draft, so you add to it across the week rather than trying to remember Wednesday on Sunday night.
3
Your coach reads it on MondayNot a dashboard alert, not an automated nudge. A written review of the week you actually had, with one thing to change before next Monday.
4
Your targets move, or they don'tIf the trend is going the right way, nothing changes and you get told why. Changing a plan every week to look busy is how people end up nowhere.
Weight is noisy. It moves with salt, sleep, your cycle and what you did yesterday, so a single morning tells you almost nothing. We read the trend across weeks, against what you ate and what you did, which is the only way to tell a bad week from a bad plan.
Straight up
What we will not promise you
A number of kilos. We do not promise a particular result, a rate of progress, a weight or a body composition, and anyone who does is guessing at your physiology from a form.
A finish date. Fat loss is not a twelve week event with a ribbon at the end. What we can tell you is whether this week moved, and what to do about it.
A wall of other people's before and afters. We publish no client result without their written permission, and most people do not want their worst photograph used to sell something. The only body I am willing to put in front of you is my own. Ask at your check-in how others are going and we will tell you honestly.
That it will be easy. You will log things you would rather not log. The unflattering week is the useful one.
We are coaches with fitness qualifications, not doctors or dietitians. We do not diagnose or prescribe, and we will say so plainly when something belongs with your GP. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or you have a history of disordered eating, or a condition or medication that affects appetite or metabolism, talk to your doctor or an Accredited Practising Dietitian before you change what you eat. That holds whether you work with us or not.
What it costs
One plan, three ways to pay for it
Everything above is Performance. There is no cut-down version of it, because the part that works is a coach reading your week, and that is the part that costs.
Standard rate $49.99 per week
$24.99per week, charged weekly
Cancel whenever you like. No notice period, no exit fee. Billing stops at the end of the week you have already paid for.
Founding rate, 20 places
Seven days to change your mind, freeCancel inside the first seven days and you pay nothing, on any plan. That sits on top of your rights under Australian Consumer Law, not instead of them.
The rate you join at is the rate you keepFounding places are a real, counted number. When they are gone the price goes to standard, but not for you.
We write to you, we do not ring youSomeone replies in writing within 72 hours. No discovery call, no sales call, no call at all unless you ask for one.
Or take a fixed block insteadIf an open-ended plan is the thing putting you off, run a set 8 or 12 weeks with a known finish date and decide at the end.
Start with your own numbers
Get your three day-types free, in about a minute, no card and no call. If they are useful on their own, use them and good luck. If you want someone reading them with you every week, the form is the next step.
