Three Motivating Mums who have lost weight on the Healthy Mummy program share their reasons for getting started and tips for other mums who are considering joining.
Mum 1 “Become stronger so that my hyper-mobility doesn’t cause me so many injuries”
Cassandra has lost 10Kgs* with the Healthy Mummy 28 Day Weight Loss Challenges. Having reached her goal weight 11 months ago, she is now focussed on maintaining her weight and gaining muscle tone and strength.
“Through my weight loss and strength building journey I’ve discovered that some of my joints are hypermobile (also known as joint laxity). This has meant that I was using a lot of muscles incorrectly and was injuring myself quite often as a result.
The stronger I can make my muscles, the less lax my joints will be and the less I will injure myself. The less I injure myself, the more present I can be for my family.
I signed up to the 28 Day Challenge in January 2017. My second child was 15 months old and I was struggling to lose the last few kgs. My goal was to lose 3Kgs* and I ended up losing 10Kgs*. Having maintained her weight loss for 11 months she says “The 28 Day Challenge is sustainable, not just for me, but my whole family.
I love food and with over 4000 recipes I can always find something to eat in the hub. The recipes are easy to prepare and I am always amazed by how good the meals taste”.
How do you stay motivated?
“The transformations and stories shared within the Facebook support groups help keep me motivated. Every day I see mums going the extra mile to reach their goals and they inspire me to work towards my own goals”.
What would you say to mums considering the Healthy Mummy program?
“YOU need to do this for YOU! You are important, you do matter and you need to put yourself first. It might feel unnatural and selfish at first, but trust me, you and your family will all benefit in the long run”.
Mum 2 “I want to OWN my skinny jeans”
Sue has lost 15Kgs* with The Healthy Mummy 28 Day Weight Loss Challenges.
Her motivation – ” I want to completely OWN my skinny jeans”. She says she also wants to be a role model of health, fitness and body positivity.
Only 5Kgs* away from her goal weight, she says “I am doing this for me, to feel good. I am determined to complete the physical challenges that my body craves”.
The Healthy Mummy weight loss program has helped her embrace food for for nutrition rather than fight with it. Her favorite feature on the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge App is the search function. “I use up my leftover ingredients in my fridge this way!”.
How do you stay motivated?
“I look at old photos. I really dislike them and they remind me why I started!”.

8 tips for mums starting 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge
1. You don’t have to go fast, you just have to go
Pick one small change and work on it daily until it becomes habit.
2. Ask questions if you’re unsure…. nothing is too silly
The support groups are the absolute best!! If you need help with anything, whether it be motivation tips, help with a recipe or you’re not sure of something there is always someone around to assist.
3. Try something new
Don’t be afraid to try new food. I’ve tried so many ingredients that I thought I didn’t like… only to find I now love them!
4. Don’t be afraid of “falling off the wagon”
When you get back on, you’re not starting all over again. You are simply trying again with more knowledge, power and strength than you did last time.
5. Plan and prepare
6. Stay hydrated
Start the day of with lemon water and stay hydrated.
7. Write down your goals
8. Do at least 30mins of exercise a day
Exercise can be achieved while cleaning the house. Walking instead of driving. Stay active!
