How I Lost Weight After Baby and After Forty

I was almost 40. I had a newborn. I had five kids. I couldn’t seem to lose weight because my thyroid was all out of whack. I wondered if I would ever be happy in my body again. I didn’t have energy to keep up with my kids. I had to have that afternoon nap. Give me all the coffee. That was me just a few months ago. I was beginning to believe the lie that maybe this was what life was like after having kids and nearing forty.

Because I had tried all the things. And nothing ever really seemed to last. My health was a roller coaster ride, up and down. Knowing what I needed to do, but never able to really stick to it. And so I ended 2018 at my worst. I was folding clothes on a December afternoon, glanced in the mirror and I didn’t like the person I saw. I had to do something. A new year was coming up. I didn’t want to look in the mirror at the end of 2019 and feel this way. Another year gone and wasted.

I entered 2019 determined to do something. I didn’t know what. I prayed for something manageable that I could do my entire life. And then The FASTer Way to Fat Loss was introduced to me by my friend, Becca, and my life hasn’t been the same since. I learned how to eat the right foods to fuel my body and burn fat. And, boy, has it worked (and has been fun and pretty easy). The last time I weighed myself (which was a month ago from the time I write this), I had lost twenty pounds. I have lost at least ten inches JUST IN MY WAIST! I have dropped three pant sizes in four months. And I feel good again! It has been an answer to prayer.

I turned 40 last month, in April. I wore a cute, red, one-armed dress that I never in a million years thought I would wear back on that December day when I looked in that mirror. I felt beautiful and I entered my 40s feeling confident and proud of who I am!

This program isn’t a gimmick. It works. You eat real food. You get a cheat once a week. It’s designed with a lot of grace, which is why I feel confident that I can do this the rest of my life. In fact, I’m so passionate about helping others find freedom, I became a coach and I would love to help you find freedom and feel and look your best too. Really and truly. I really do have such a passion to help women not believe all those lies. I want you to be the best you for YOU. For your spouse. For your children. For your grandchildren. If I could reach out and hug you right now, I would.

This program is for everyone. It’s for women. It’s for men. It’s for pregnant women (not to lose weight, but just to feel your best). It’s for breastfeeding moms (I can vouch for this…my milk supply has improved). It’s for the woman who wants to tone, not lose weight. It’s for the lady who has lots of weight to lose. It’s for the lady who can’t workout. It’s for the lady that is walking around in a fog. It’s for the lady who is 50. It’s for the lady who is 20.

I’m sorta scared to hit publish on this one because I’m going to share my before and after pictures and I’ve only shown these to about five people. I’m so proud of how far I’ve come, but there’s something about putting a picture of yourself in just a sports bra and bike pants for the whole world to see that’s a bit intimidating! But it’s worth sharing these pictures, if it can help me show you how this has truly changed my life and how it can change yours too.

Can I just tell you this tattoo is proof that you shouldn’t just randomly go to a tattoo parlor when you’re 19 and have no clue what you want. <insert crying face>

Maybe I should have titled this How I’m LOSING weight because I’ve been living The FASTer Way for four months and I’m still losing fat and I’m getting so much stronger! I’m not bored.
