Fit Yummy Mummy Transformation Video Tip #1
Getting Started ~ The Hardest and Scariest Part
Today’s Video Tip explains why you MUST take a before photo before you step one foot forward into your fat loss transformation program and 3 tips on how to take the best before photos.
Before Photos are the BEST Thing You Can Do
By Mary Dikeman
Fit Yummy Mummy Transformation Challenge Winner 2008
“When I joined the first challenge last March, I was 220 lbs and looked simply awful! I had never in my life taken pictures of me like that and I felt so “exposed”! But, it was the BEST thing I ever did!! Because when I would get down about not losing as fast as I wanted I would take a picture and compare the two. OMG!! Could I see the difference! Now, I just take those pictures because it is the LAST time I will ever look like that! Woohoo!!
Just be brave and do it! You will love seeing the progress to total yumminess!”
~ Mary Dikeman, Has lost well over 50 pounds, ~ Mary Dikeman, 40 year old Mom of two, Sierra 15 and Hayley 9, Montrose, CO

A group of women from ClubFYM dedicated to achieving their fitness and fat loss goals this summer just crossed the finish line completing the 12 Week Summer Slim Down Challenge.
To help celebrate as well as motivate others to take action on their goals, these women made a list of their most helpful summer fat loss tips and strategies ~ actions taken to help lose 10-15-20 pounds, 3-5 inches off their mommy belly, skyrocket their energy levels and even wear a bikini for the first time with confidence.
I compiled them into the Top 10 to help give your fat loss plan a jump start!
Top 10 Summer Fat Loss Tips
1. PLAN, PLAN, PLAN.
Don’t wing it.
2. GET RID OF THE SCALE
I would have given up if I was weighing myself every day! That is what sabotaged me in the past.
3. Social support is crucial.
If you don’t have someone to cheer you on, it’s going to be one hundred times harder than it needs to be. If I didn’t have this support there is no way I would have finished.
4. Keep a DETAILED journal
And Be Honest – no sense fooling yourself.
5. Think positive.
Some days are harder than others; when you have a bad day, forgive yourself for the mistakes you made and move on.
6. Consistency.
In workouts, in eating, in all of it. Get back on the nutrition/workout wagon, even if you fell off one day.
7. Keep only supportive food in the house all the time, and make sure you eat enough of it.
8. Be teachable.
Don’t ever think you know it all or know better.
9. Look for inspiration wherever possible.
Be an inspiration magnet! Reach out to your support system, get encouragement when needed, give it every chance you get, look for quotes, create vision boards, make a goals list of things that really get you excited and read it often.
10. Take it day by day.
12 weeks seems like a long time but in the end it totally flies! Take it one day at a time and you will be victorious in making it to the end!
We are after all in a fun journey.If there is ever a slip up, calm down , own up and get back up!

Let’s be honest ladies ….how you look directly affects how you feel. And you can be beautiful and buff.
I will be the first to tell you that there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with looking good while you workout. From putting on your makeup to wearing cute workout clothes.
I beleive in Doing what makes YOU feel pretty and I am happy to know I am not alone! I recently received feedback from a Fit Yummy Mummy fan who has a few words to say on this topic – plus she was curious as about what my personal “beauty routine” is all about – so I mapped that out for you too in “5 Steps to Looking Your Best”.
Make Staying Fit This Summer FUN With A Playground Workout!
If you find yourself taking your children to the park this summer for some outdoor entertainment you can make the most of this time too!
Get your bottom off the park bench and give these playground workout moves a go!
~ Park Bench Step Ups (8-10 each leg)
~ Push Ups (8-10) can modify by performing against park bench
~ Picnic Table Hip Bridge (8-10 each leg)
~ Monkey Bar Pull Ups (5-10) modify by jumping to top of pull up and slowly lowering to bottom
~ Picnic Table Jumps (8-10)
~ Sprints – invite your children, increase laughter, engage your core
How To Use
Perform these moves straight through as a circuit repeating 2-4 times or pair up into super sets, completing each pair 2-4 times in a row – take a short rest and move on to the next super set.
No excuse why outdoor summer fun cannot also help you achieve your fat loss goals! Get Up – Get Moving and Get Results!
