Flatten Your Post Pregnancy Tummy

Lynda shares how she was able to flatten her post pregnancy tummy and lose over 20 pounds all in a matter of weeks!

“After suffering serious diastasis – abdominal separation during pregnancy- that had not responded to 9 solid months of clinical pilates….I went to the web in desperation and came across Holly and Fit Yummy Mummy. I bought the ebook on the spot and started the next day.

I looked like I was 6 months pregnant!

Even people I knew asked when the baby was due. I was eating chocolate, choc chip cookies, chocolate in milk and while I did eat 3 pretty good meals a day, lunch was often late and I was always hungry.

Something had to change – – and it did!

It’s amazing how a poor body image can really take over your life. You don’t know what to wear, when you do put clothes on they’re often not comfortable and you feel self-conscious. You hate shopping for clothes, hate seeing women who ride through the whole bounce back thing with ease (celebrity or otherwise) and it really impacts on your enjoyment of food and life – well it did for me.

BUT NOW….

I’m doing something about it and it’s working! I’m feeling good about myself. I’m taking care of my health, I’m providing the best milk I can to my baby and I’m strengthening my body.

Every month I’ve seen an improvement both on the scale and with the tape measure. I feel strong, I have energy and I have a wardrobe that fits me again!

ClubFYM.com has become my friend, my confidant, my inspiration and my motivation. Without you lovely girls and Holly I honestly don’t think I could have kept this up.

I saw a good friend this afternoon who I haven’t seen since before xmas (our kids go to playgroup together and in Australia we’re on summer holidays) and when I walked into the cafe to meet her she screamed!!

She couldn’t believe how much I’d lost from my waist and hips, my bust, my everywhere. She said I looked like a new woman, fresh, alive, exuberant and like a have a new love of life. She knew I had started a program but hadn’t expected real results. Now she’s checking out Fit Yummy Mummy too.


Support

I love the support I’m getting from you girls here online. Whether it’s a response to my blog posts or feeling motivated by yours – this is the reason the whole program works – daily motivation.

Logging on to ClubFYM and working out are now just things that I do, they are part of my daily routine and I feel lost without them.


The Difference

~ I do intervals because they make me feel good, energized and in control.

~ I do Fit Yummy Mummy workouts because I can feel them reshaping my body with every single session.

~ I eat supportively and regularly as it agrees with me.

~ I don’t get hungry (unless I forget to eat!!)

~ I don’t have cravings and I REALLY enjoy my treats when I decide I’m going to have them.

~ I want health first, and a trim and toned body is the bonus.

~ I believe that just as food can be the culprit it can also be the savior. I feel like a well maintained machine.

Looking around my house there are so many examples of where I’ve chosen good quality products trying to improve results, like in the laundry where I use good washing powder, in-wash stain booster and fabric softener, rather than just cheap washing powder.

Now I can see I was putting inferior refined foods into my body and expecting results. Equally I thought giving myself even less of these foods would achieve weight loss, but none of this was true.

Supportive nutrition gives my body the fuel it needs for energy and growth, the nutrients and water it needs to function at top condition and in a state that allows excess weight I’ve accumulated over the years to be shed.


Results

So here are the results so far:

Before………………………….After………………….Gone forever
weight ……69kg now………….59.5kg ………….9.5kg (21 lbs)
waist ………85cm ……………..71.5 …………….13.5cm (5.7″)
hips………..100cm …………….90cm……………..10cm (4″)

I’ve found supportive eating agrees with me, both eating regularly and eating whole foods without the enormous layer of sugary foods I used to pile on top of an otherwise good diet.


I’m eating a LOT MORE than I expected
, and that’s what is going to make this sustainable, along with the planned indulgences. Chocolate, greasy food, take your pick, it all tastes better when you don’t have the guilt trip to go with it!

I decided a long time ago that this wouldn’t be a 16 week start to finish thing.

I still have numerous workouts in the book to master, and I’ve recently bought Holly’s ab’s dvd, as this is where ALL of my excess weight is residing.

It’s funny – I thought if I had these stats I’d be happy, and I am, I’m proud of what I’ve achieved, it’s just now I’ve raised the bar so much higher and I want it all!!!

I’m on the home stretch in the NY Transformation Challenge and can’t wait to start the new monthly workouts that look sooo challenging. Bring on Nov 09 when I’ll have been a Fit Yummy Mummy for a whole year, then I’ll really have something to celebrate!!”

    Hi there, was neat to read Lindas story and to see her fab results! Well done! After having two HUGE babies of over 10 LB each I have diastatis- abdominal separation also and I hate it. I am an active gym member and try to look after myself but any weight that I put on goes staight to my belly. I would dearly love to get rid of it as it spoils every thing I wear.. the rest of me is pretty shapely. Holly, I think a page needs to be writin about this problem specifically as there are thousands that have it and dont know what to do about it. Targeting the area alone with exercise and nutrition. or do we get rid of it in surgery?

    Your comments please.

    Regards,

    Tina

    You look wonderful Lynda, I know all too well how you felt before hand. I am pregnant right now but I cannot wait to get back in the game once baby is here and I am healed.

    WOW! Lynda, you look FABULOUS!! What an inspiration you are!! I have fallen off the bandwagon with the beginning of this pregnancy, but looking at your results has given me the resolve to get back up, dust myself off and continue with the Club FYM program. Thank you, your story has been a timely reminder that all that bad food I’ve been stuffing into myself is really not helping in my quest for yumminess.
    Best wishes,
    Deb H XXXX :)

    Lynda, WOW! I loved reading your story. I’ve drifted away from FYM and know it body wise. Your stats were a great motivator for me to get going with FYM again. May I ask how many weeks it took you from the posting of both of your results?
