I've always been very active & enjoyed eating whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, with very minimal weight fluctuation. I got pregnant with my son at 36 & stayed extremely active during pregnancy, but followed every whim and craving food-wise...and despite people telling me the weight would fall off while breastfeeding, I was only able to lose 15 or so of the ~40 lbs I gained while pregnant. Whole30 & keto diets had always helped me lose weight quickly in the past, but post-baby, I couldn't stick with anything longer than a day or two. Despite being 20-ish lbs heavier than I wanted, I was very happy with my life & just love food so much. I didn't know if it was worth it to limit my daily enjoyment of deliciousness for something "cosmetic." I was also hesitant that I'd have the willpower/desire to stick with it. I LOVED my food & indulged daily, but my energy levels were low & I hated the way I looked. I just wasn't sure if the trade-off would be worth it! I hoped I'd be able to stick with it - having the external accountability of a coach - but I dreaded missing out on a huge source of enjoyment and pleasure in my day. With my 40th birthday looming, I really wanted to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I was also hoping for some healthy eating habits to take with me into the next decade of my life! My hope was to lose 20 lbs, and I did, which was an amazing feeling after 3 years of feeling like my "slim days" were over. But the best part was how much I enjoyed doing it! I thought my summer would be miserable, not enjoying the fun foods I love, but it never felt restrictive. The combination of feeling so good physically paired with healthy new meals (and challenging myself to create new recipes using healthier ingredients) canceled out any sense of lack I thought I'd feel. MyBodyTutor taps into the "holy grail" of weight loss/health - CONSISTENT healthy choices that reflect personal food preferences - and makes it possible by adding the ever-important accountability factor. I can't recommend MyBodyTutor highly enough! Their approach is simple but insanely effective. It's so easy to start and never felt daunting.
