10 Essential Ingredients for Weight Loss Success
There are some essential ingredients to lasting slimness, health, vitality, critical factors in getting and keeping a slim, strong, sexy body.
As we come into the last month of the year, the weather heats up and the beach starts calling, many of us suddenly realise it’s time to “get serious” about our body goals.
At this time it’s easy to get lured in by quick fix promises, pills, shakes or some “ah-mazing” machine that will supposedly shed the kilos faster than anything else, so to help save your wallet and remind you what really matters, here’s my list of the essential ingredients of true and lasting weight loss success.
1. A crystal clear and inspiring goal, within a realistic timeframe, that you believe you can achieve.
A crystal clear goal is always the starting point. Know where you are. Know where you want to get to. Simple. Remember there are no impossible goals, only unrealistic time-frames. You can’t lose 10kgs in a couple of weeks. Get specific and visualise your moment of success. Focus all your attention on it. Keep affirming it to yourself and reading stories of success until you believe that it is possible for you to achieve. Make it about more than just what you look like, include your health, energy and some performance aspects too.
2. A big reason why you want the goal that links into your highest values.
Your reasons are the fuel that will keep you going. The bigger your reason, and the more those reasons link in with your other values and priorities, the more compelled you will be to endure pain and pleasure in the pursuit of your goal.
3. A deep understanding the cost of not changing.
This is critical also, to utilise the “away from” motivation axis. It’s important to be very clear on the long term & short term negative consequences of not making the change. It’s not about beating yourself up, but rather being honest about what it’s truly costing you, so you don’t rationalise yourself into mediocrity. Get honest with yourself about the pain of not getting slim and healthy. This is the fire up your butt, to get you motivated on the days you don’t feel like it.
4. An absence of conflicting unconscious blocks or secondary gain.
This is my speciality, and unfortunately something that is very difficult for you to work on by yourself. If you’ve been struggling, you will undoubtedly have unconscious mental or emotional blocks that are stopping and sabotaging you. Get some help to get these out of the way and fast track your success. Come along to my next events, or email me for more info on how I can help you.

5. Positive reinforcement from someone.
A little bit of support essential to embed new habits and reinforce positive behaviours. Get some support from a friend, family member, coach, a team or online forum of people who have similar goals. It is not essential that everyone supports you, and many times people will actively undermine you, that’s life. Learning to deal with that is a part of the process. However in order to keep yourself on track it is important to have at least one person you can turn to who has similar goals and philosophies when you need support and encouragement.
6. A mentor who inspires you.
The quickest path to success is modelling the success of someone else. Find someone who inspires you who you can model and borrow their techniques and positive thinking. If you are ever unsure of what to do, you can always ask yourself “what would X do?”
7. Measuring the right things, and acknowledging small successes.
Acknowledgement of the small successes from day 1 is critical in you being able to internally reinforce and support your own changes. When you measure the right things you will notice success from the beginning. When you measure only your weight you will most likely struggle with your motivation. Learn the right things to measure and you’ll notice how much you’re improving and be inspired to continue.
8. A growing body awareness and sensitivity.
As you become healthier, you will notice a blossoming body awareness, and sensitivity to certain things in your environment. It is a sign of success. Learn to listen to this awareness to discover what works and doesn’t work for you.
9. A commitment to small daily improvements.
Commitment to small daily improvements is a critical ingredient in lasting success. You already know that trying to change everything at once does not work. Instead, commit to making each day just a little bit better than the one before and very soon, your small steps will snowball.
10. Self-compassion for the past and slip ups in the present.
Self-compassion is a key ingredient in lasting weight loss success. Let go of the past, let go of your slip-ups, forgive yourself and move on instantly. Nobody’s perfect, just do the best you can and improve every day.

“We couldn’t recommend Kylie highly enough.”
“Having ongoing training is essential for our team and our business. It’s important to look after the people that look after others. Kylie has the experience, professionalism and knowledge to engage with our team and help them understand about human behaviour and why people do what they do. In the wellness and health industry it’s a different sales and service delivery and it’s imperative to keep on top of these understandings to perform at our best to help others. We couldn’t recommend Kylie high enough.”
- Amanda Bracks - Owner Soulful Fitness (2019 Fitness Australia Boutique of the Year)
“She’s the best speaker they’ve ever seen.”
“I have worked with Kylie over many years. She has helped me as a Business Mindset Coach, as a motivational speaker for my gym clients at both Vision Personal Training & now at Flow Athletic. I bring her in to train my Personal Training teams in mindset, communication and how to coach our clients better and excel in our own personal mastery as fitness leaders. At my recent Fitness Business event, my gym owner colleagues were blown away by her talk, saying she is the best speaker they have ever seen. After every event we always get rave reviews about her talks and training. I highly recommend Kylie’s work as a coach & speaker.”
- Ben Lucas - Founder & CEO, Flow Athletic
“So many things are just falling into my lap.”
“I finished the Spiritual Awakening Course yesterday and I found it truly amazing. An incredible next step after our coach training. I feel so much more enlightened and “opened-up”. It has really opened my eyes to the power of the universe and the energy flowing in each of us. I loved it – thank you.
I am feeling so lucky at the moment. So many things are just falling into my lap. I visualise it and set my intention to manifest it and it comes. Things such as getting more clients, needing help to put my business online, not knowing how to get known in my local community etc. Courses / insights / clients have just fallen into my lap at the right time.”
Of course I am still learning and growing, but the course has really helped. Thank you”
- Katharine Williams - NLP Coach, Limitless Growth
“I have never been this happy or powerful.”
“Before I signed up with Kylie I had a busy PT business… I was exhausted and on the brink of burnout and no matter how hard I tried, I had reached a ceiling in my income that I just couldn’t break through. After completing my NLP Coaching certification, I found my true voice and the energy of my business has been completely transformed. I’ve created an online program, up-levelled my entire business and totally smashed my previous income goals. I make decisions more confidently and I can help my clients create change in their life even faster. On a personal level, NLP gave me the inner strength to leave a toxic situation and rebuild myself which lead to me discovering the love of my life! Today I am living the life that I’ve always wanted – but just hadn’t been able to put into words. I have never been this happy or this powerful. If you want to manifest the life of your dreams I would not hesitate to reach out for help from Kylie.”
- Danni Vee - Women's Health Coach, My Fit Tribe
“I’ve noticed big improvements in my finances and client retention”
I signed up with Kylie because I knew that to have a bigger effect as a PT I needed to improve my understanding of how the mind works. Through NLP Coach training I now have great coaching techniques that break through all sorts of negative behaviour patterns. I’ve noticed big improvements in all areas of my life including my own personal finances and my client retention. This has allowed me new freedom to work on scaling my business and helping even more people with less one on one time from myself. The coach training has given me the ability to fully unlock the power of your mindset and those that don’t have this skill are only tapping into a small amount of their potential.
- Blake Worrall-Thompson, Performance Coach & PT
“Magick happens every time!”
This morning I had a kick-ass coaching session with Kylie Ryan. We’ve been working together for a couple of months, and she’s the perfect person to help me integrate the rapid transformations I go through regularly. I’d been getting this vision of my fully mature creative and entrepreneurial self. His discipline, commitment, and command of wealth was 10x what mine is now, but it wasn’t really about money for him. Our coaching sessions usually roll with me saying, “Kylie, I want to be, do, and have EVERYTHING” and Kylie helping me find the archetypes and parts that aren’t integrated and bringing them together. MAGICK HAPPENS EVERY TIME.
