FYM Meet Up In Chicago
By Holly Rigsby on September 21, 2009
The Power of Fit Yummy Mummy Friendships and Support
I had a fun weekend ~ Patrick and I drove to Chicago because I had the chance to speak at the 4th annual Midwest Fitness Symposium.
I enjoy sharing what I do with other fitness professionals but the highlight of the event was getting a chance to meet up with Fit Yummy Mummy Denise!
Tyler and I had the pleasure of meeting her and her son Carter only once before earlier this summer. We met up at the aquarium so Tyler and Carter had a chance to play.
I have to tell you ~ even though Denise was the 2nd place winner of the
Summer Transformation Challenge and
I knew she was continuing to make progress….I was blown away by how different she had looked!
Not just a reduction in weight or size either…
Denise was absolutely Glowing!
What a Difference!!!
When I gave her a hug…I sure could tell! Denise has dropped from a tight size 18 to a size 12 and no longer has a need for extra large tops – she is now down to wearing MEDIUMS!!! And she wears them with pride as You can see above in her photo with her
Fit Yummy Mummy Tank!
The 1st photo was our Meet Up in early June ~ The 2nd photo was of this past Weekend!

Oh and I cannot even begin to tell you what it meant to me to have her there in the crowd listening as I spoke about what she personally knows.
She even received a round of applause from all the fitness professionals for all her hard work and dedication!
I am So Proud of You Denise!
When you are surrounded by those who care, who are there to listen, who are there to cheer you on and lift you up and most importantly those who
Believe in you….
success is inevitable!
I hope you too have such a strong and positive source of social support!
FYI
If you have not yet met Denise or seen what she has accomplished so far…..this is her Final before and after for the Summer Transformation Challenge – 12 weeks to a brand new Body – and then some! Denise was the 2nd place winner!

Be on the lookout for updated results soon! She has been an active participant in the “Get Back to Fit” Fall Transformation Challenge at
ClubFYM!

Congratulations to both of you!
You are living proof of the power of FYM–
the program and the community!
I was SO proud of Holly!! She was amazing!! And I was SO honored to be called a Fit Yummy Mummy and represent this amazing community!!
Denise, you look so flipping fabulous! You aren’t stalling out – your results just look different because it’s refining your body and reshaping – not dramatic weight loss (though we see that too in the difference in pics.)
Wow. You are such an inspiration!!!
Congrats to both of you!!!
Woh, you both look spectacular!
I want to be like you when I grow up
Holly — congrats on what sounds like a successful Chicago trip! I would’ve loved to be in that crowd… maybe someday I’ll have the privelege of meeting you in person and hearing you speak/teach.
Denise — Whoa! You ARE glowing (and very pretty, too!)! I bet you’re feeling great. Keep up the fantasic work. You’re the incredible shrinking woman!
woo hoo, Denise! You rock, girl!
Wonderful photos and story! Denise, you are inspirational, clearly! Look at the energy this is generating!
Way to go, Denise! You are such an inspiration to all of us. Thank you for being there and showing how it’s done!!!
Yay, Denise!
I love it!! So happy you two had a chance to connect again! Yes, the power of social support is HUGE!!
Denise, your smile is contagious girl! You are a shining example of what Fit Yummy Mummy is truly all about!
Congratulations, Denise! That had to be awesome, Holly, for you to actually have such a fantastic example in the audience that FYM is truly a success!! Keep up the good work, Denise! Thanks, Holly, for all you do for us! Gay
