Marie’s 12 Week Summer Transformation Results gave her the Reward of being able to find skinny jeans success!
“The thought of my ideal self is a young, fit lifeguard at the pool with a perfect tan, no stretch marks, and not a care in the world. I thought that young girl was long gone.
In a way she is, but in another way I got her back, at least the body! I am happy for having people, my children, to care for and worry about. That is the one thing I never want to change.

Upon starting this challenge I was all in, and doing awesome. I even stayed religiously within my calories for three weeks. I actually went to a girls’ night with my own yogurt and granola in Tupperware for my
treat.
I think my downfall was doing too much too soon. I fell off the wagon, and I fell back into my fat girl mindset of eating. I still exercised everyday, but my nutrition was anything but perfect.
I didn’t see the results I wanted immediately and at times I thought that I would just have to deal with my body, because that is how I am going to be for the rest of my life so I better just deal with it.
But then I picked myself back up and began to do better again. Because I knew I was better than that and good enough to deserve to be happy and healthy.
I was slowly able to add one thing and take out another from my diet, and it started to come together. I was losing weight and inches, and my energy was through the roof at times.
I made a vision board
This has been wonderful for me.
The things on my board that I have achieved/accumulated are: dishwasher, minivan, a “cleaner” house, spending more quality time with my kids and I have made the time in my life to be more spiritual, not to mention the fitness goals that I have achieved.
I believe that in making sure all other aspects in my life are where they should be, I was able to make my fitness and nutrition goals fall right in line with everything else.
It is official, I an now the proud wearer of my old, cute, sexy, adorable, size 6 SKINNY JEANS!
Something I thought would not be possible. I even gave into the thought that I would just be like this for the rest of my life and I should just deal with it. Then I found FYM and the strength and knowledge, and the most important, support.
Now my goals were to lose 15-20 lbs.
Well I achieved 10 lbs. And that put me at pre-pregnancy weight! I was ecstatic! Plus 12 inches to boot!
I also said goodbye to my mommy belly!

I was even able to go shopping in my own closet again.
I have had this cute green, wrap-around dress hanging at the back of my closet, staring at me everyday. I got the guts and wore it to church. I have to say that I was very pleased with the results.
The day I put on my skinny jeans, I got brave and tried on some other clothes and I couldn’t believe something like that would make me cry, but I was utterly happy! I even was singing Holly’s praises around my house. Thanks Holly and the FYM Family!
I began to have more choices of what to wear and people were even giving me compliments.
They were saying that I looked great, when they used to say, “you look great for having two kids.” Please, that just says to me that I am still a little chubby, but not as fat as I could be, so congrats on
that.
I am very happy with my results and I am planning on continuing with my goals and getting even sexier.
The best part is that I was able to play soccer with my son without telling him that mommy was tired and could only play 5 minutes.
This journey doesn’t end here; it is a life long experience that can either be a constant struggle or a joy. I choose for it to be my joy. I hope you do as well. Spread the joy of FYM! And congrats to all those who are still working on their goals to be the best Fit Yummy Mummy possible.
I think I can say it now: I AM A FIT YUMMY MUMMY!!!“
