I recently ran a 7-week weight loss challenge that was open to over 50 contestants. Contestants included everyone from moms, powerlifters and other athletes, and busy working professionals. To my pleasant surprise, 2 of the top 5 winners were both young busy moms to multiple children. We all know the challenges that just one child brings insofar as scheduling the time to train, plan meals, and generally find “alone time.” So, how do two busy nursing moms with several young children manage to lose weight during a fitness challenge?
Good nutrition AND exercise will help you get your pre-baby body back!
“NoMoreChubby” lost 9 lbs or 6.5% of her total bodyweight during the 7 weeks. “2TiredMama” lost 8.6 lbs or 5.4% of her total bodyweight during the same time period. I asked them to answer some questions to help give other moms some insight into how these nursing lost weight, despite being so busy (and tired!).
