Meet Elle, One of Our Healthy Mummy Ambassadors

We’re so excited to welcome Elle as one of our Healthy Mummy Community Ambassadors! Elle is a Brisbane mum of two who joined The Healthy Mummy after years of putting everyone else first. Since then, she’s lost an incredible 20kg, rebuilt her confidence, learned to prioritise herself and discovered a new love of fitness, and is now training for Hyrox.

Elle will be sharing more of her real-life experiences, practical tips, favourite recipes and words of encouragement inside our Private Facebook community. Be sure to jump in, say hello and follow along as Elle shares the highs, challenges and lessons she’s learned along her journey.

Finding Herself Again

For years, Elle was focused on everyone else.

Between raising two young boys, juggling work and navigating serious health challenges with her youngest son, looking after herself always came last.

Before joining The Healthy Mummy, Elle says she was at her heaviest and had lost much of the confidence she once had.

“I had played sport competitively when I was younger and into uni but after having kids (the second of whom had quite serious health issues when he was younger) the stress and the busy-ness of balancing motherhood and work and life was wearing me down. Before joining The Healthy Mummy, I was at my heaviest. Embarrassed to be in photographs and a shell of my former confidence.”

Today, the Brisbane mum of two has lost an incredible 20kg, rebuilt her confidence and is taking on new challenges she never imagined possible.

Sometimes, All It Takes Is One Decision

Elle wasn’t searching for a huge transformation when she discovered The Healthy Mummy. In fact, her decision to join came from a surprisingly simple moment.

“Honestly, I had a few too many wines, saw it on a Facebook ad and thought, ok, now’s the time.”

That one decision marked the beginning of a journey that would change much more than her weight. Over time, Elle began creating healthy habits that helped her feel more confident, organised and in control of her health.

How Meal Planning Keeps This Busy Mum on Track

As a busy working mum, Elle says having a plan and systems in place has been key to making healthy habits work around family life.

Her favourite feature inside The Healthy Mummy app?

“For me is the meal planning and prepping system (although I love the workouts). I run our household on a strict schedule and the HM supports this in a massive way: without systems the family would collapse!”

Having meals organised ahead of time helps Elle stay on track without having to constantly think about what’s for dinner.

She also enjoys The Healthy Mummy Shakes and Super Greens, while some of her current recipe favourites include Choc Chip Banana Bread for snacks and Simple Tomato and Feta Pasta for dinner.

A Lifestyle, Not a Finish Line

While losing 20kg is an incredible achievement, Elle says the biggest changes have happened beyond the scales.

After years of putting everyone else first, Elle began making space for herself again. It’s a shift that has helped her rediscover her confidence and reconnect with the woman she was before motherhood became her entire focus.

One of the biggest mindset shifts for Elle was realising that healthy living doesn’t have a finish line.

Rather than viewing weight loss as something with a final destination, she began focusing on the everyday choices that make up a healthy lifestyle.

“The turning point for me was realising there is no finish line. This is a lifestyle and a choice that I make at every meal of every day. Working with the app to plan meals so you don’t feel like you’re restricting yourself or missing out was key for me.”

For Elle, planning meals through the app has helped make those choices feel achievable without feeling like she’s missing out.

It’s a mindset that has helped her move away from an all-or-nothing approach and instead focus on habits she can continue long term.

From Weight Loss to Hyrox Training

Elle’s transformation hasn’t stopped with losing 20kg.

“Since starting, I’ve lost 20kgs, rebuilt my confidence but also I’ve learnt how to prioritise myself.”

Today, she’s taking on a new challenge and training for Hyrox, a huge milestone that shows just how far her confidence and fitness have come.

The woman who once felt embarrassed to be in photographs is now pushing herself physically and embracing challenges she never imagined taking on.

When asked what she’s most proud of, her answer isn’t about the number on the scales. It’s about the example she’s setting for her boys.

“Getting my identity back, and showing my kids how strong mum is,”

It’s About More Than Weight Loss

Elle’s story is a powerful reminder that transformation isn’t just about what happens on the scales.

Yes, she has lost 20 kilos, but along the way she’s also rebuilt her confidence, learned to prioritise herself, created healthy systems that work around her busy family life and discovered a strength she didn’t know she had.

From feeling like a shell of her former self to training for Hyrox and showing her boys just how strong their mum can be, Elle has learned that looking after yourself isn’t selfish. It’s about making the choice to prioritise yourself, one day and one meal at a time.

For any mum thinking about starting her own health journey, Elle’s experience is a reminder that you don’t need to be perfect or reach a finish line. With planning, support and the right mindset, healthy habits can become part of everyday life without feeling like you’re missing out or restricting yourself.

And perhaps most importantly, Elle has discovered that prioritising yourself isn’t just something you do for you, it’s something your children see too.

Her journey is proof that it’s never too late to put yourself back on the list, find your confidence again and discover just how strong you can be.
