My Fit & Yummy Life!!

"When I first joined Fit Yummy Mummy , I felt defeated.

I had been working feverishly at losing the post pregnancy weight of my second child….and my first. They were born 16 months apart and I hadn't removed all of my baby weight from my first pregnancy. At my heaviest, I topped the scale at 214lbs. I stuck to what I knew -- no carbs and lots of cardio.

I managed to drop about 40lbs this way and then everything stopped!

No weight loss….just burnout and irritability. I was depressed. I was 28 years old and wearing a size 16. I was obsessed with the scale. My husband threatened to throw it out ..

Then I found Holly.

At first I was thinking "how could this work?"

I was so skeptical.

But I had nothing to lose (other than body fat) so I joined and downloaded my Fit Yummy Mummy program. It was so straightforward and made so much sense.

And guess what?....It works!!

Within one year I had dropped to a size 10 and trimmed inches off my body.

At the height of my success last spring, I was a size 6 with less than 22% Body Fat. My energy levels were through the roof and I felt GREAT!

Then, I injured my lower back. I had a slipped disc and was unable to do any lower body weight exercises or cardio. It was horrible. The feeling of not being able to exercise was unbearable. This went on for 3 whole months until I was able to start introducing physical activity again. Just in time for a huge residential move. By the time I had started back on the program I had gained 10lbs. It was very depressing.

Then I realized something very valuable.

Falling off the wagon isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I knew that I could get back to where I was my happiest . After all, Fit Yummy Mummy is a lifestyle. A life long commitment to yourself and your health.

I'm back in the game and working towards my goals. I know I'm not perfect and will have struggles and setbacks along the way -- but Holly and the wonderful women at ClubFYM are always there to help support me and get me back on track.

Oh and did I mention that I got to meet Holly in person at our first ever Fit Yummy Mummy Hookup in Toronto? She's just as fabulous in person as she is in ClubFYM -- a true inspiration!!!

I will forever be grateful to Holly to how she changed my life. And so will my husband….Now he doesn't need to throw out the scale J

Hugs to you all"
