Kate is already down 10 lbs and says ‘I don’t have to give up anything!’
Kate Grimmell is a mom of two boys aged 5 and 3. Originally from Washington State Kate now lives in Las Vegas, and found the Healthy Mommy two months ago through a close friend.
Kate says, “I’ve joined The Healthy Mommy’s 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge because I wanted to change my relationship with food. I’ve tried SO many diets in the past few decades and I’ve had some success, but nothing sustainable.”
What the Healthy Mommy has taught Kate in just a few months
“The Healthy Mommy has shown me, in such a short amount of time, how to properly fuel my body.
It has shown me that I don’t have to limit a food group from my meal plan, that I don’t have to give up chocolate or delicious snacks. That I don’t have to give up pasta or fruit.
I don’t have to give up anything! Instead, I eat healthy versions of what I love.”
Kate’s results so far
Kate has seen first hand the amazing results that can be achieved on the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge.
“Since joining I’ve lost 10 lbs, 1 pants size, 8 inches and I’ve gained confidence, self-worth and a new understanding of how to properly fuel my body. I feel that my skin has also gotten clearer because I’ve decreased processed food and am fueling my body with whole foods.”
But Kate says it’s not just the scales that have changed since she began her 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge journey.
“I love how I’ve rediscovered myself with the help of The Healthy Mommy,” she says. “I lost a lot of who I was, suffering from PPD and PP Anxiety after the birth of both my children.
Exercise was a HUGE element of returning back to myself and finding mental stability. In that, I’ve discovered how important it is for me to consistently exercise and make myself and my health a priority.
I like to include my kids on long walks, bike rides, running around at the park, walking the dogs and even doing at-home workouts with the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge app in our living room.”
Kate’s goals for the future
Talking about her goals Kate says, “I’d like to lose at least 40 more pounds, but more than a number, I really want to get to a place where I’d feel comfortable, completely, in my skin. I’m not after skinny, I’m after healthy and strong.”
Kate favorite challenge recipes
“My favorite meal is the Chicken, Cashew and Broccoli Stir Fry. My favorite snack is the Low-Carb Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups.”
Kates top tips for moms starting out
- Meal prep! I really feel that prepping is key to success. You prep for success. If you have everything planned out and prepped, then you’re reaching for items that are healthy and tracked in your calorie budget already.
- Exercise. Any exercise counts. All exercise is important, whether it’s a 5 minute workout from the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge app or an hour run or a 30 minute walk. Mental health is so important and exercise decreases the stress hormone, which makes us all happier so get moving and find your happy!
- Utilize the app. The 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge app will meal plan for you. Go in and customize, based on what is in your pantry, fridge, freezer…this will help cut down on grocery bills. After you’ve customized, print off your shopping list. Mark your meals on the calendar or print off the overview. You can shuffle things around throughout the week if you need to, sometimes we have more leftovers than planned.
Why Kate loves the app
“Use the workouts on the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge app, stream them to your TV if you can, or do it from your phone. I really feel that there are no excuses for great food choices or workouts when everything is right in the palm of your hand you’re set up for success with The Healthy Mommy.”
