Mom dropped 50 kilograms after giving birth

31 years, two children and ... no personal life. The idea that something must be changed, and urgently, reached Marika Lott long. She had long ceased to fit in her clothes, which she wore before the birth. She was crying in front of a mirror in the store, because she could not buy anything suitable. She began to put things on again for pregnant women, although her youngest daughter was already three years old. She weighed 105 kilograms. The index of her body weight was 38 units - according to WHO classification, this meant clinical obesity. Norm, recall - from 18.5 to 25.- I saw perfectly well that I have extra pounds, but did not understand that everything is already very serious. To understand that I'm not just fat, but I'm obese, I could only compare my photos of 2014 with my current reflection in the mirror - Marika.1/3 Photo: @noexcusefitmom Photo:@noexcusefitmomPhoto: @noexcusefitmomDespite 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 a change only when she realized that she was ashamed to undress in front of her husband. The thought that Sean would see her LIKE THIS was unbearable for Marika. The first thing Marika decided to do was to get rid of her chocolate addiction. She stopped eating sweets, replacing them with unsweetened products with cocoa flavor. 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 couldn’t even play with my daughters, except sitting on the floor. I would get tired right away from active games or when I had to stand, — the mother says. Mom’s workouts have become a fun pastime for the children. — My girls like these exercises. I put them on my back and do squats, push-ups, jumps, and other exercises. I simply have no choice — either the children participate in the workouts, or I don’t have a workout and I take care of the children. We have all become happier because Mia and Leona see me healthy, energetic, full of strength and joy, and not lying on the couch with a sad look, — Marika continues. Mom never misses her workouts, because they are only half an hour long. Marika even trained at the airport, while waiting to board — it was good for her and fun for the children. And no matter how hard it was, she always finishes them.

Of course, she had to adjust her diet: vegetables instead of donuts for snacks, no junk food. And things started to work out! The result – Marika lost almost 50 kilograms. She learned to love her body and returned to her teenage dream of six-pack abs. – Now I like looking at myself in the mirror. I know that I look good, and I’m not afraid to undress in front of my husband. Of course, I have stretch marks and sagging skin. But it doesn’t matter that much, because I know that everything can be fixed,” the woman says enthusiastically. A healthy lifestyle captivated her so much that Marika went to study to become a fitness trainer. “I was a busy mother, I worked and studied at college, but I found time for training and managed to lose weight. I hope that my method and my story will help others,” she added.1/4 Photo: @noexcusefitmom Photo:@noexcusefitmomPhoto: @noexcusefitmomPhoto: @noexcusefitmomMarika's Menu BEFORE...Breakfast - Marika didn't have breakfastSnack - two large bowls of cereal with sugarLunch - a large portion of pasta with cheese sauceSnack - whole grain vegan cake (whole)Dinner - three servings of pasta with cheeseDessert - chocolate cake, a bag of candy, chips... and AFTERBreakfast - yogurt with fruit and nutsSnack - cucumbersLunch - beans with a large portion of vegetablesSnack - vegetables with nuts and yogurtLunch - steamed meat or fish with vegetablesDessert - chocolate protein shake Mar 17 2017 at 12:33 PDT See also:
