Healthy Mummy Stephanie compares life before and after her 2.9st. weight loss
We are in awe ofย the gorgeous and confidentย Stephanie Marriott, whoโs lost 2.9st. and goneย from a size 16 to an 8 thanks to the Healthy Mummy’sย 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge.
Recently Stephanie shared with us how she maintains her goal weight and compares her dramatic lifestyle change before and after weight loss.
Confidentย and happy
Stephanie, a mother of three, started herย Healthy Mummy journeyย with the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge. Sheโs lost 2.9st and says since reachingย herย goal weight she couldnโt be happier.
โIn the first picture above I was on holiday with my parents and my first son,” says Stephanie. “I remember feeling hot and sweaty all the time. I ate poorly and foundย it hard to fit down the slippery slide with my son.โ
โIn the second picture I was headed to a dear friends wedding. I felt amazing! I have never received so many genuinely beautiful compliments. And this was after having two more children.โ
Stephanie has reached her goal weight of 9.4st. by following the Healthy Mummy’s 28 Day Weight Loss Challengeย and isย now focused onย toningย and improving her strength.
How She Feels Now
โI never in my wildest dreams would have thought Iโd have some baby abs under that tummy,โ Stephanie says.ย ย โIโmย incredibly proud of my body now and when I look in the mirror I actually love what I see!โ
Losing 2.9st. is a fantastic achievement Stephanie- ย well done!
Stephanie On Maintaining Weight-Loss Goals
She says sheโs found maintenance quite easy and this is how she stays on track.
- I donโt count calories
- I make good choices
- Watch myย portion size
- Enjoy everything in moderation
โThe Healthy Mummy has taught me about healthy alternatives, portion sizes and how to make better choices. But most importantly, that life is about enjoying EVERYTHING in moderation.โ
My Life Before I Discovered The Healthy Mummy
1. I never exercisedย โ I didnโt even want to go upstairs in our house to get something because I was so lazy.
2. Healthy foodย โ I would have never considered a salad or a ham and salad wrap as an amazing meal.
3. I never tried new foodsย โ I always had my steak well done, had never had a kidney bean, chickpea or brown rice.
4. I tried on 15 outfits before leaving the houseย โ andย most of the time it ended in tears.
5. I wore make-up every day.
6. I tried every diet under the sunย โ in the end I always failed.
7. Bad role modelย โ when I had my first child I didnโt exercise or eat well.
8. I was a size 16ย โ but I honestly thought the clothing sizes were inaccurate.
9. I was always tired.
10. Fake confidenceย โ my confidence was often a disguise of how uncomfortableย I was, and how I thought I was being judged.
In My Life Now Iโฆ
- Am truly confident and comfortable, even walking around in a bikini.
- Will try new foods, this past weekendย I had sashimi and cuttlefish.
- Only wear full make-up on special occasions.
- Really enjoy exercise, I have a great trainer and go to workouts in the park for mums.
- Grow fresh herbs and vegetables
- Eat an abundance of foods and if I have a bad meal or day I donโt beat myself up. I just start eating well from the next meal.
- Often wonโt even look in the mirror when I get dressed because I know a singlet and jeans will look great.
- Have three kids that see me making great choices.
- Meet new people and it doesnโt cross my mind what they may think of me.
- Am healthy, happy and a confident size 8!
