Post Baby Shape Up Results

37 year old Samantha, who was the 2nd place winner of the 2008 Summer Transformation Challenge, is achieving amazing post baby shape up results once again. Her baby boy was born 9 months ago and just look at the results she has achieved!

“Before beginning this Fit Yummy Mummy journey, I was attending a gym 5 days a week. And yes, it was 1 hour of cardio, 1.5 hours of machine weights and sometimes an aerobic class. (That was before children). Then I had my first child on 29th of December 2004.

For the first couple of months I attended the gym for cardio to help reduce the weight gained from the pregnancy. It helped somewhat, but living in a foreign country I found that it was not always possible to ask for help from my “new” family. Nor are the gyms set up for mums with kids.

Thus lead to pills to squash my appetite ~

Although I knew that this was not the best road to take, I wanted to reduce my weight quickly. They helped somewhat, but my husband didn’t approve.

Before being married and having children, I was a ballet dancer and model…. for me my body is my temple. I found the whole thing of being pregnant and gaining weight and then losing it again very traumatic.

Prior to finding FYM I know that even though I was wearing size US size 6, I was not feeling very attractive at all. I wanted my “fluffiness” gone. And no amount of sit-ups helped. I even got desperate and bought an ab-rocker machine… results where nothing to shout out about!

This was not how I wanted to feel, look or life my life. I knew what I had been and was struggling with my inner-self to find that person again. The one that enjoyed life and wanted to live life to the maximum. I wanted my child to be proud of me, never to feel awkward and embarrassed of me, because of how I looked.

Everyone told me that I looked “fine” and that I should be happy that I had lost the weight.

The problem was I didn’t feel happy about not being toned and slim. And so Christmas of 2007 I made a promise to myself to find the answers that I needed to become the girl I was before, fit and fun to be with.

I Found Fit Yummy Mummy

I officially became a Fit Yummy Mummy ready to begin my transformation on Monday, 14 January 2008! Basically, I was looking at another site… and in his site he mentioned Holly Rigsby and how amazing this woman was.

Curiosity bit me, and so I clicked on over to Holly’s site.

Originally I had hoped to find a program set out by a woman for woman and something that could be completed at home. This was exactly what I was looking for. Simple, easy to complete exercises (with photos) performed at home in a small amount of time. Holly’s program was perfect for what I was looking for.

My Results

Well within 1 week of joining the program, Holly suggested I try out the Summer Transformation Challenge. My reply… “but I’ve only being doing the program 1 week?” I had no idea what I was in for… however it was so much fun!

Within 6 weeks of doing the STC I had lost my “fluffiness” and was getting stronger and more toned than I had ever before by working out at a gym. I was excited to see “me” again. By the end of the this challenge, I was shocked to be nominated as a finalist and more surprised on opening up an email announcing that I had come in at 2nd place! Wow, this was so exciting!!

In August of 2008 I discovered I was pregnant with my 2nd child.

This time around I felt prepared for my post baby shape up. Mind, Spirit and Body were in sync and I knew that I had the tools of FYM which had changed my mind, spirit and body. This wasn’t going to be so hard. And by all accounts it wasn’t.

With my first pregnancy I gained 25 kilos (or 55lbs) this time round however, I’ve gained 12 kilos (or 26.4lbs). This is all thanks to using and modifying the Fit Yummy Mummy system along with the eating every 3-4 hours!

I followed the exercises as set out in the handbook… although this time I worked backwards, until I was only doing body weight exercises. Sure by the last trimester these were getting harder to do, but at least I felt fit despite gaining those extra pounds!

5 Days post baby Results

Just 5 days after giving birth I started back on the FYM handbook to get my post baby shape up right. And slowly worked my way through each week. I haven’t rushed through the program, nor has every week been perfect. The main thing is I’ve been consistent ~ with my exercises and nutrition.

What I love about the FYM workouts…. Everything!

~ I truly look forward to each workout day.

I no longer dread going to the gym, surround by those who haven’t discovered what deodorant is!! Instead I have aromatherapy candles or oils burning to energize the room, my own selection of music ~ depending on my mood. The exercise are so easy to follow, the time frame couldn’t be better ~ 30mins 3 days per week ~ it’s so do-able!

I’ve still got some work to do but I’m very happy with my progress, which is all been made possible by Holly. Thank you.
