I have embarked on the Fit Yummy Mummy program and whilst I’m not “fat” as such, I am definitely a little soft around the edges. I definitely need to tone!
Anyway, I started 3 weeks ago and already I am seeing results! Firstly, I have a LOT more energy and waking up at 5am to my baby is no longer a struggle. In fact, I am enjoying being up with her at that hour (ok, I know I’ve lost the plot!).
Physically, I am already seeing definition in my legs and arms. As for my tummy, it’s not looking nearly as bloated these days.
I recently received an email from the Fit Yummy Mummy herself, Holly Rigsby, and she was inviting me to vote for the finalists of the Fit Yummy Mummy 12 Week Transformation Challenge. The challengers had been on Holly’s program for the last 12 weeks and had posted thier before and after photos for us to see and then vote on.
Well, I was completely amazed at the amazing success these women had accomplished! They looked amazing and it was hard to believe that they had only been following the program for 12 weeks!

Please let me know.

Hi. It sounds like you just had a baby and are doing this to lose your tummy and tone up. Is this true? Please share more tips with me?

I have some comments to make about weight loss in general – I have seen a lot of people just look atthe BMI numbers and panic! Dont just rely on BMI as “the” indicator of your weight. If you really want to know your “healthy weight for your height” – you must also consider a few other factors such as : your age, your level of activity per day (how active you are and what kind of work you do), you blood cholesterol levels, whether you are diabetic, your waist size, cardiac or heart related ailments – a number of other factors. But BMI does give you something to think about – its a good starting point.
Then there are ways you can lose weight – my favorite being the one which will be more aligned with a change in lifestyle. I always believed that losing weight is very closely related to changes in lifestyle. I embraced this concept and took me about 7 months – but now, 3 years since I have maintained that weight – without feeling i am doing anything extra!
what i did was gradually changed my breakfast to contain oatmeal and fruit, and some non oily stuff, started walking more – i do about 3 miles a day now (not much), i eat a good normal lunch – just stay off the fats as much as i can, i drink a lot more water, 3 liters per day at least, i keep my dinner light and keep at least 2.5 hours gap between dinner and bed time. Thats it! i do have alochol during the weekends – but not too much.
It took me a while to get into the routine -but it worked – i am healthier, lighter, and more active after i lost those extra pounds!

A very good post,
You’ve shared some pretty amazing information here.
Weight loss does not happen by itself. Going for the right foods and taking the right actions every day will benefit you in the long run.
