“Wow!!! What a fabulous year this has been. There has been 45 pounds lost!
A year of mind blowing changes; the year I took back control of my life!
I set a goal late November 2007 that I was going to change my life. I was approaching 40; I was unhealthy and depressed. I was wearing a tight size 14 and weighed in at 176lbs.
How did I get like this???
I WAS NOT going to buy bigger clothes!!! I wanted to be healthy; I wanted to be fit, and most of all I wanted to be strong!!!
I was going to do whatever it took.
I had become MISERABLE and REFUSED to live this way any longer.
I said a prayer and asked God for guidance. I knew weight training was the key; it’s what I did in the past and had great results. I joined a gym and hired a trainer. At this point in time I wasn’t doing much. I needed guidance and structure. I found Holly’s business card at the gym; I took one, went home and checked out Fit Yummy Mummy. Holly was speaking to me!!!
I had seen Holly at the gym, didn’t know her personally, but I knew she had to know what she was talking about. She was beautiful, healthy, and strong, but very feminine. That’s WHAT I WANTED!!! So why not trust someone who has achieved what you desire? I bought her e-book and started immediately.
I joined Clubfym too. I could see this community was going to be awesome!!! I knew this was the answer to my prayer!!!
December 5th 2007 I began my journey.
I jumped in with both feet and never looked back! I was a woman on a mission and I wanted results!
TOTAL FYM Results
Dec 2007 – Dec 2008
Over 20 total inches GONE!
45 pounds lost
Size 16 to a size 6!
Cleaning up my diet and eating every three hours were vital to my results.
The results were instantaneous.
I felt amazing on the inside. My mood had improved almost overnight. Talk about Energy, it was through the roof! I didn’t know what to do with it all!!! My eyes became brighter, my skin was softer, and I was looking younger!
My results really started to take o? around week 6, from that point on I was unstoppable. I joined the 1st Transformation Challenge; this gave me the motivation and drive to kick things into gear. When I started I had already removed 11lbs and 12 weeks later removed 17lbs more lbs! I was chosen as one of the 12 finalists; what an honor!!!
I can’t say enough about my new lifestyle.
I have embraced it and I am living it. I love me and the person I have become. I am a better wife, mother and friend for finding Fit Yummy Mummy. No longer am I wasting precious time worried about how miserable I am looking and feeling.
A year ago I would have never even thought about getting back into the work force. I didn’t think I was good enough or deserved it. Recently I have started a new job. I am a “teacher’s aide” at my sons Elementary School, and I love it!!! It’s amazing what you can accomplish in a years’ time. It just depends on how bad you want it, and for me it was pretty bad!!!
January 18th I will be celebrating my 40th birthday.
I am embracing this new time in my life feeling Fabulous, Fit, Flirty and Forty, Minus Forty-Five pounds!
I have succeeded.
All done in less than one year, what a goal!!!”
~ Sheri Meierle, Age 40 Mom of two, Fabulous-Flirty Fit Yummy Mummy
12 month results…How do you stick to it?
Motivation is what keeps me going.
Staying healthy for my family is very important. I am having a blast with my kids now. We are doing so many wonderful things together.
I used to make excuses, but now I am making suggestions!!!
The way I look and feel motivates me to continue down this path. I was pushing into a size 16, now I am in a 6, they are starting to feel loose. The results I have attained are far greater than anything I have ever expected.
I love the way my clothes fit. I love the way my skin feels. I love the way my muscles feel; I am strong. I like the reflection looking back at me in the mirror.
How can I not be motivated?

Sheri’s results are so amazing and motivating. What a great birthday gift to yourself – a healthy body!
Sheri that is fantastic! I am just like you. In fact the same weight and size just before I got pregnant with my second due this May. I signed on to fit yummy mummy last summer and never pushed myself because I knew I wanted to try to get pregnant again soon. But I read all the stories to keep me motivated to not let myself gain too much. And this story gives even more motivation that after this baby is born it will be time to kick it in gear and get “me” back. Back to the sexy fit body I had before my first child. Thanks for sharing you sucess!
Wow Sheri, way to go!! You and so many others on FYM are such an inspiration. You have shown me that with determination and the right tools, the new yummy mummy bod is achievable!!I started the NYC – a week and a half ago, and love hearing all the success stories of previous contestants, it gets me pumped about what im doing…. fat loss…..BRING IT ON!!
wow!! that is awesome!I could not believe how much weight sheri has lost ,but I know that is really posible !!!looking her pics inspires me to continue with my goals! I am so happy for you sheri!! you really look good! healthy and fit!!:D I am loosing wieght..and I hope ..soon look as good as sheri looks!!..
Thanks Sheri. I weigh the same you did and yesterday my 5 year old son asked me why I was so fat! Boy did that make me feel real bad. I have put on weight since I had my hysterectomy and because I work full time I never have the time to even think about exercise. I am now on 2 weeks leave and am going to start planning my new routine as I am cutting my hours down and I want to look just like the new Sheri.
It is summer here in Australia so very very hot 40 degrees Celcius which is 104 Fahrenheit so way too hot to even think about exercise…what a shame I can’t just sweat off the kilo’s (oops sorry I should say pounds so you know what I am talking about.
You go Girl! Way to go Sheri! I am so proud of you. You are one of my inspirations bc I am also trying to get into a bikini. I am on my 3rd week of FYM and LOVING IT!!!!! I already have way more improvement in my CELLULITE! The very thing, like for mothers once they have their children, society tells you can’t happen, impossible. Not to mention my stomach is looking absolutely flat in my jeans, not pocking out and all that, my shoulders and posture is straighter and I feel lighter stronger and bouncier when I walk. Thanks for being so wonderful and loving on clubfym. I always appreciate your beautiful picture blowing us a kiss, it’s very motivational for me to be loved by someone I don’t know and motivated from afar. Love back, T
Way to go Sheri!!!!! I emailed you a couple months ago and you were so kind to reply. You most definitely are an inspiration to ALL!!!! If those size 6′s are starting to get loose, just think what you can get and how you will look and feel in a 4. No MATTER– a size 6 is AWESOME. From the looks of your pics, you look pretty darn good in the 6. Just to let you know I finally decided to get 110% serious about losing this fat and decided to join the New Years Transformation Challenge. I posted seveal pics–hard for me to look at, but they do not lie!! I may need some encouragement along the way so I may drop you a line again. You deserve to be proud!!! Anything special for your birthday planned? You probably feel that you have the best gift you have ever received–and you gave it to yourself!!
KUDOS, Sheri!!!!!!!
Happy Belated Birthday Sheri! Wow – you look absolutely amazing! You have received more than a birthday gift, you have received a life gift! Way to go. You are an inspiration to all women out there that it is possible. Thank you for sharing your incredible story with all of us!
WOW, realy good story, many times I decided to go back to my old size but I couldn’t, your story sheri inspired me to try harder to be like you ,happy belated birthday. I need to get the e-book it will be great.
Hi Sheri, what a fantastic birthday present to give yourself!
I turn 35 on Sunday, and your story has inspirred me to really get back into it, so thanks
Sherri,
You look great! I remember you from the 1st transformation challenge. I took the challenge too, but I didn’t do nearly as good. As a matter of fact, lots of time has passed, and I’ve gained about 25 lbs instead of losing! I’m almost 42 (in about 3 weeks God willing), 5’4″ and weigh about 215 lbs! I want to get back to around 140 but have been having such a hard time to get my motivation in gear, and just do it! I have 10 kids (6 biological and 4 step kids), between the ages of 1 and 18. I know I need to get in shape, for me, my husband, and for them. I am a tight size 16 right now, pushing 18, and just really want to get back into a 7/8. I know I can do, I’ve just got to well… do it!! Great job! Keep it up! You’ve really changed your whole outlook on life! I’m so happy 4 u! Be blessed. Evey
