Weight loss BFF’s
If you are embarking on your weight loss journey maybe itโs time to see if you have a friend who wants to take part too. Healthy Mummy mums and BFFโs Evie and Jess prove the power of the whole is greater than the parts.
By encouraging each other every step of the way and during every hurdle, they have lost a combined 5.11 st. in the past year with theย 28 Day Weight Loss Challengesย andย Healthy Mummy Smoothies.
They say theyย โcouldnโt be any more proud of us for how far weโve come.โ
The Healthy Mummy team would have to agree with you. Well done ladies!
Evieโs weight loss journey
Evie started The Healthy Mummyย 28 Day Weight Loss Challengesย not long after theย birth of her daughter.
She says โMyย PCOSย had flared up in aย huge way with more cyst ruptures than I could keep count of.ย My doctor strongly insisted I try losing weight as we were running out of options and myย BMIย was classed as obese.
I had been watching so many inspirational transformations inย The Healthy Mummy support groupย so I decided to give it a go.โ
Results with The Healthy Mummy
Evie has lost almost 3st. with The Healthy Mummyย 28 Day Weight Loss Challenges.
She says,ย โHonestly looking back it was one of the best decisions of my life, it has completely transformed me physically andย emotionally to almost unrecognisable.
The Healthy Mummy has taught me how to look after myself, which has spread to every area of my life.
Iโm so keen to spend next year getting to my goal weight, toning, gaining muscle and finally see the girl Iโve always wanted to see in the mirror.”
The benefits of losing weight with a friend
Evie said of having her BFF going through this journey also,ย โHaving Jess by my side to support me helps because we both want to see each other succeed and sometimes she believes in me more than I believe in myself and she reminds me of my why.
Being on this journey with her is infectious and motivating and Iโve definitely kept myself more on track since she started her journeyย nine months ago.
We share recipes and workouts and we bounce ideas off each otherย and itโs really reassuring to know no matter where I am in my journey, sheโs got my back.โ
Jessโs weight loss story prior to The Healthy Mummy
In 2016 Jess gave birth to beautiful twins.ย Her pregnancy was quite a rollercoaster of a ride.
She suffered from all day morning sickness, preeclampsia, an emergencyย caesarean and saw her body gain 4.10st. while pregnant.
Jess saysย โMy health took a dive especially while pregnant with the twins. Having preeclampsia and my body rejecting the twins I ended up very sick and unfortunately for months and months after it continued especially the very high blood pressure.โ
Struggling with how her body looked after having twins she saidย โonce I hit four months after having emergency caesarean I started working out again.
For theย first year after having the twins I struggled to lose the weight โ it didnโt matter what I did or what I ate.โ
Jess was gettingย disheartened when the number on the scales didnโt move and was questioningย why she was putting inย all the hard work for noย results.
Discovering The Healthy Mummy
After Jess watched her best friend lose weight with The Healthy Mummy 28 Day Challenges andย Healthy Mummy Smoothies, she thought maybe it was time to give it a go herself.
She saysย โI felt like I was in a funk and needed a change.โย After several months of her friend encouraging her to give a go,ย Jess decided to sign up to Theย Healthy Mummyย 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge.
โI started off by doing the 28 Day Challenge meal plans and walking once a day I then increased it to twice a day with three times a week workout.
At first, the scales didnโt move much but it was the cm that moved and I couldnโt believe the difference in my clothes.
Then I swapped outย two meals a day for smoothies and absolutely loved them.โย
Weight loss results
Jess has lost 3.2st since joining The Healthy Mummy.
She says โAlthoughย I still have a long way to goย Iโve found that The Healthy Mummy has helped change myย mindset and I now crave feeling fit and healthy, rather than just beingย focussed on the number on the scales.โย ย
Jess shares the benefits of having a friend on herย weight loss journey
Even though Evie and Jess live nearlyย two hours apart Jess says โEvie was always there.ย The support was fantastic from pushing me to go walking or staying on track.ย Or even when Iย felt like giving up she always knew what to say.
There were times I fell off the bandwagon but no matter what she always had my back especially this year with having a very tough year.
She never gave up on me she always had my best interests at heart.โ
Why The Healthy Mummy program works
On reflecting on The Healthy Mummy program Jess saysย โItโs not a diet itโs a lifestyle change.
The food you are eating it is so yummy and it feels like you are eating naughty at times but youโre not.โ
โMyย family loves the food and itโs really easy to cook.โย
โI have found my confidence again and I fell in love with my body again instead of picking out everything I hated with it.
If you are sitting on the fence about it just do it if will be the best thing you will do the food is yummy and the support is amazing.โ
The Healthy Mummy team would like to congratulate these two inspiring mums for sharing their weight loss journeys with us.ย Well done ladies!
