Mom dropped 50 kilograms after giving birth

31 years old, two children and ... no personal life.The idea that something needs to be changed, and urgently, reached Marika Lott for a long time. She has long ceased to fit into her clothes, which she wore before giving birth. She cried in front of the mirror in the store because she could not buy anything suitable. She started putting on maternity clothes again, even though her youngest daughter was already three years old. She weighed 105 kilograms. Her body mass index was 38 units - according to the WHO classification, this meant clinical obesity. The norm, let us recall, is from 18.5 to 25. “I saw perfectly well that I had extra pounds, but I did not understand that everything was already very serious. I was able to understand that I was not just overweight, but I was obese, only by comparing my photos of 2014 with my current reflection in the mirror - Marika.1 / 3 Photo: @ noexcusefitmom Photo:Despite all this, the woman still could not give up her daily two bars of chocolate, cakes and donuts - she ate six of them in one sitting. She was able to decide on changes only when she realized that she was ashamed to undress in front of her husband. The thought that Sean would see her SUCH was unbearable for Marika. First of all, Marika decided to get rid of her chocolate addiction. She stopped eating candy, replacing them with unsweetened cocoa-flavored foods. And even this simple measure helped her lose three kilograms in a week. Then sports appeared in her life. Every day Marika trained for 30 minutes. She trained with her daughters - neither four-year-old Leona nor six-year-old Mia went to kindergarten. The girls were with Marika together with dumbbells. - Before, I could not even play with my daughters, except perhaps sitting on the floor. From outdoor games, or when I had to stand, I immediately got tired, - says mom. Mom's workouts turned into fun for children. - My girls like these activities. I put them on their backs and squat, do push-ups, do jumps, and other exercises. I simply do not have a choice - either the children participate in training, or I do not have training, and I am engaged in children. We all became happier because of this, because Mia and Leona see me healthy, energetic, full of strength and joy, and not lying on the couch with a sad look, continues Marika. Mom never misses her classes, because it's only half an hour. Marika trained even at the airport, while waiting for the boarding - both herself benefit and entertainment for the children. And, no matter how hard it is, he always brings them to the end. Mar 16 2017 at 10:50 PDT Every workout was recorded by Marika and posted on her website noexcusefitmom.com - now she herself helps overweight women lose the hated pounds. Of course, the diet had to be adjusted: vegetables instead of donuts for a snack, no junk food. And it went! Result - Marika lost almost 50 kilograms. She learned to love her body and returned to her teenage dream of six dice on the press. “Now I like looking at myself in the mirror. I know that I look good and am not afraid to undress in front of my husband. Of course, I have stretch marks and saggy skin. But this is not so important, because I know that everything is fixable, ”the woman says enthusiastically. The healthy lifestyle captured her so much that Marika went to study to be a fitness trainer.“ I was a busy mom, I worked and went to college, but I found time for training, managed to lose weight. I hope my method and my story will help others as well, she added.1 / 4 Photo: @ noexcusefitmom Photo:@ noexcusefitmom Photo: @ noexcusefitmom Photo: @ noexcusefitmom Marika's menu BEFORE ...
