Cicily’s IncredibleWeight Loss“Mum of two Cicily started her journey withThe Healthy Mummy in July 2016. In the first fewmonths, she lost 20kgs by using The HealthyMummy Smoothies twice a day and making the28 Day Weight Loss Challenge meals. She lostanother 35kgs over the next year.Cicily says “I started the year at 110kgs and got to75kg!! The lifetime goal I’ve dreamed of my wholelife! “Cicily admits that when she started her journey itwas all about weight loss but after living a healthylifestyle it became a lot more about happiness.“The Healthy Mummy has given me so muchhappiness, confidence and self-love. I have somuch more energy and for the first time in my lifefeel truly happy in myself.”Maintaining the weight lossWhilst losing a large amount of weight is onepart of the story, maintaining that weight loss isanother.Cicily shares, “Maintaining weight loss is a wholedifferent ball game because the natural responseto weight loss is weight gain. So I won’t deny I’vefluctuated a few kgs. Trolls would say to me “you’lljust gain it all back again and then some in a year”,but an amazing thing about The Healthy Mummyis that you are not restricted to 1200 calories, I ateover 2000 calories a day to lose this weight!The Healthy MummyA Dealing with Life’s ChallengeAs we all know, life gets in the way with unexpected challenges. ForCicily, this year brought some personal issues that effected her lifestyle,weight and how she felt about herself.She shares, “After going through a divorce this year and gaining someweight back, I was feeling pretty terrible in myself. But with persistenceand consistency, I’ve managed to lose again what I gained back. I feel ahuge sense of body love and confidence within myself.“So I’m now a single mum, juggling work, university and kids, but Ialways make time for a walk on the beach to keep active.”“The Healthy Mummy has bought me so much quality of life. I’ve pushedmyself beyond comfort and done things I’ve never dreamed of. I canhike up mountains, run around playing with my kids. My life is amazingand I’m so incredibly happy in myself now.”3 Cicily’s guide to smashing goals
Cicily’sTOP tips onhow to getstartedThe Healthy Mummy1Get yourself excited! My favourite way to dothis is to create a gorgeous vision board. Makeit colourful, make it positive, make it beautiful!Print out that photo of your goal outfit, writethose inspirational quotes in pretty gel pens (orraid the kids coloured pencils!) put anything thatmotivates you in a positive way.2Get yourself organised with an online shop to bedelivered with everything you need for the week.I like to customise my meal plan so that I use upthe more perishable veggies first, and then theheartier dishes for the end of the week.3If you want to minimise cooking, choose 2 or3 snacks you can cook to last the week andalternate them for morning/afternoon snacks.4Cook extra serves of dinner for lunch the nextday or use The Healthy Mummy Smoothies. Ilove frozen banana and mango with the bananaHealthy Mummy smoothie mix.4 Cicily’s guide to smashing goals
What madethe differenceto Cicily’ssuccessI stopped treating my weightloss journey as a fad diet andstarted thinking long term.I broke my goals down andmade them achievable.I aimed for 700 grams weight loss a week. It may notseem like much but 700 grams is over 36kg in a year –that’s a lot!”I started trying to fill my body with nutritious foods fromthe Healthy Mummy app and started moving my body.The meal plan is amazing because I can still eat pizza,pasta, burgers, and feel like I’m not missing out, all whilelearning how to make healthier choices and to keepmoderation.I also loved the support of the Healthy Mummy groups.Sharing my journey and also getting tips and inspirationfrom others in the community. The support was amazing.Find your healthy mummy support network and engagein it regularly. Daily food pics, sweaty selfies, get yourselfout there and accountable and also encourage otherwomen who are sharing their journeys! Love the posts,comment positively, we need to lift each other up andgive each other our tips to succeed, and motivation inlow times.The Healthy Mummy5 Cicily’s guide to smashing goals
Cicily’sTOP tips forSTAYINGmotivatedKeep a goal chart that tracks your progress.Take photos every week in the same position (I chooseMonday mornings in my bra and undies) that you can reflecton in your journey. It’s amazing watching the change, it’ssuper motivating! I also take photos even on “off weeks”I find this helps me keep perspective and I can comparephotos and continue on, it’s a lot less daunting than scaleson a bad week!Give yourself a daily list to check off. Mine would look like: Drink 3L water Do 10,000 steps Have two Healthy Mummy Smoothies Have a snack at 10am Have a snack at 3pm A Challenge recipe from this week’s meal plan for dinner.The Healthy Mummy6 Cicily’s guide to smashing goals
