“The Healthy Mommy has completely changed my world,” says Mom who lost 116lbs
Cicily Goodwin’s life changed forever four years ago when she embarked on a weight loss journey that saw her lose a whopping 116lbs in 18 months. Since then, she has overcome personal challenges that led to some weight creep back, but with help from her Healthy Mommy lifestyle and experience, she was able to get back on track and has maintained her initial weight loss since. She’s now living her healthiest and happiest life.
“The Healthy Mommy has bought me so much quality of life. It has helped me to gain a freedom in myself that I’ve never felt before. I am genuinely happy in myself, confident in my body, and live a healthy life.”
Cicily is now starring in the Healthy Mommy’s Brand New Real Mom’s Workouts in The Healthy Mommy App, inspiring and helping other moms reach their weight loss goals.

Cicily’s Incredible Weight Loss
Mom of two Cicily started her journey with The Healthy Mommy in July 2016. In the first few months, she lost 43lbs by using the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge app. She lost another 77lbs over the next year.
Cicily says “I started the year at 238lbs and got to 168lbs. The lifetime goal I’ve dreamed of my whole life. “
Cicily admits that her when she started her journey it was all about weight loss but after living a healthy lifestyle it became a lot more about happiness.
“The Healthy Mommy has given me so much happiness, confidence and self-love. I have so much more energy and for the first time in my life feel truly happy in myself.”
Maintaining the weight loss
Whilst losing a large amount of weight is one part of the story, maintaining that weight loss is another.
Cicily shares, “Maintaining weight loss is a whole different ball game because the natural response to weight loss is weight gain. So I won’t deny I’ve fluctuated a few lbs. Trolls would say to me ‘you’ll just gain it all back again and then some in a year’ but an amazing thing about The Healthy Mommy is that you are not restricted to 1200 calories, I ate over 2000 calories a day to lose this weight.”
Dealing with Life’s Challenges
As we all know, life gets in the way with unexpected challenges. For Cicily, this year brought some personal issues that effected her lifestyle, weight and how she felt about herself.
She shares, “After going through a divorce this year and gaining some weight back, I was feeling pretty terrible in myself. But with persistence and consistency, I’ve managed to lose again what I gained back. I feel a huge sense of body love and confidence within myself.”
“So I’m now a single mum, juggling work, university and kids, but I always make time for a walk on the beach to keep active.”
“The Healthy Mommy has bought me so much quality of life. I’ve pushed myself beyond comfort and done things I’ve never dreamed of. I can hike up mountains, run around playing with my kids. My life is amazing and I’m so incredibly happy in myself now.”
