Meet Bozana Smith – 12 Week Challenge Results 14.4 kg

“Hi I’m Bozana, 44, from Queanbeyan NSW. I have a 9 year old daughter Zoe.

I’ve been following the Healthy Mummy since my daughter was 18 months old back when it was Lose Baby Weight! It’s been part of my family’s life for a long time. Originally I lost 42kg and kept most of that off but my health took a turn and was diagnosed with one then another auto immune disease. I was barely getting through the day let alone wanting to look after myself. The weight piled back on in under two years. The 12 Week Challenge was my way to get my fitness back. I lost 14.4kg and my healthy habits returned! I have gone from size 20/22 to 16.

My next goals for this challenge are to lose 10kg and fit back into my size 14 clothes by drinking my 3L water a day, 30 mins exercise from the app and keeping my meal plans simple so I don’t overwhelm myself.

I’m back doing this challenge to get the happy me back and give myself a better chance to keep my physical and mental health in check.”

Bozana’s Tips

• Go easy on yourself! It’s a healthy change of lifestyle not a crash diet! There will be days where you think it’s not worth it but small wins really do add up!
• Drink your water! Not only does it cleanse your body, you’ll be amazed how clean your skin will become. Keeps the hunger at bay too.
• Make sure you are eating the correct amount of calories for you. Too little is just as bad as not enough. You can calculate your calories in the app.

“Hello, my name is Kirsty I am a newly 40 year old, I am a wifey and a Mum to 5 cherubs (4,5,13,17 & 24) ohh and lets not forget a new grandma. I live down south in SA so I have beautiful beaches at my finger tips and love it. I have had an off n on again relationship with the Healthy Mummy since 2015. This time I started in 2020 and have been determined and committed since then in changing my entire life style. I have lost 41 kilos to date and 18.5 of them was in the last 12 week challenge.

Physically I am stronger and fitter, emotionally I can say the same and so much more positive. My mindset is determined to keep my commitment to myself and keep putting my health and needs first. I made a pledge that I would use the app to its fullest potential and to enjoy my journey and stress over what I cannot accomplish, rather focus on what I CAN.”

“As a result of this, I want to lose 15 kilos. I signed up for the 2nd challenge because I want to keep growing and having 12 weeks to be focused with like minded ladies is a great way to keep my motivation.”

Kirsty’s 3 tips on just getting started

1. Make small changes, select 3 little things to work on throughout the week and these 3 things will add on to the next 3 and it will be less overwhelming.
2. Use the app, record your NSV and when you are feeling discouraged it can be a great motivator.
3. Use the groups and create a village. It can be easier to overcome to tough times with like-minded ladies by your side that can be there to believe in you when you are learning to believe in yourself.

Kirsty’s 3 tips on not giving up

• Make a commitment to yourself and remind yourself of your commitment and that you are important.
• Create a motivation board and put it in a place you can see it often. make sure it has your favourite quotes in them
  find a goal outfit, something you can try on and physically see the differences because at times the scales can be deceiving.

Brooke Boulden – 12 Week Challenge Results 4 kgs

“Hello Healthy Mummies. My name is Brooke. I am 30 years old, married with two boys aged 4 and 2 years and live on Kangaroo Island in South Australia.

I have been a member of The Healthy Mummy since 2017 but kicked my healthy living journey into gear in 2019. I have since lost 25kgs but mostly regained my confidence, strength and energy. I have seen many benefits from joining The Healthy Mummy. My most valued is I now have the energy and strength to keep up with my busy busy busy boys. I can easily join in on their crazy fun, which feels me with so much joy.

I want to use this 12 Week Challenge to tone up, feel confident in a bikini this summer (I haven’t felt this way since before puberty) and MOSTLY focus on my mental health.

The last 12 Week Challenge I was heavily focused on weight. I’m at the end of my weight loss, so trying to kick those last few kilos was hard, exhausting work. I didn’t get the number I wanted. But I got super close. I have learned I was too focused on a number. So, this 12WC I am doing it for my mental health, to base my progress on how I feel and enjoy myself.”

Brooks 3 tips for getting started

1. Our progress is all about our choices. You won’t be motivated everyday. But each day you can make a choice to be committed. Losing weight is hard. Being overweight is hard. Disciple in hard. Regret is hard. Change is hard. Not changing is hard. Choose your hard. It is worth it.
2. Make changes that are realistic for you. One each day or week. HM is about lifestyle change not short term change. Find your groove. Celebrate your victories (scale and non scale). Tailor your meal and exercise plan to fit your life. The app is full of so many options.
3. Reach out and communicate. This group of women are here to support you and lift you up. If you need help, ask.

I have two main reasons for doing the challenge.”

Angie Shannon

“My name is Angie Shannon, I’m a 24 year old Mum from Dubbo NSW with 3 kids Harrison aged 4.5, Leah is turning 3 and Lachlan just shy of 6 months.

After the birth of my first born I went on to lose just shy of 15kg with the Healthy Mummy. I then fell pregnant with our second bub and had a healthy mummy pregnancy and went on to lose another 10kg and maintained that before we planned our third baby.

I’m now on my third healthy mummy journey and it’s a slow run but I’m down 3.5kg so far and ready to smash out another 17kg on this amazing journey.

My goals for this challenge is to stay super consistent. Remember my reason why I want to do this, for better health, to feel less sluggish and to have more energy and to shed the unwanted baby weight I gained.

I’ve been following the healthy mummy for 4 years now and I will never go back to any other way of living. I love the program and I love the amazing benefits of using the healthy mummy program for the whole family. We have quick, convenient options at the tap of a button and there’s no excuses because the healthy mummy has nearly any recipe you can think of. Our family are more active thanks to the healthy mummy program and we all love the wonderful app exercises and the meals.

I’m doing this challenge because I want to find my happy place again. I loved being fit and healthy and that’s what I’m striving for, to feel healthy and strong again! I’m starting my journey all over again and I know I can do this!! I also have my wedding coming up in March 2022 and I’d love to look and feel amazing.”

Angie’s 3 top tips

1. Start simple! Add some more water, swap an unhealthy snack for a healthy one and find a healthy alternative to a fav naughty meal.
2. I’d also say remember why you’re here and think of your goals. If you want to exercise do something you love like dancing or jumping on the trampoline with the kids, it doesn’t need to be hard.
3. Take it one single day at a time. If you fall down or have something not so great just remember it won’t undo all your hard work and you can do this, we’ve got this!!

“My favourite meal would be the Mexican chicken pie… if you haven’t tried it go ahead and try it.”
