Hi!  My name is Kelly Ballard.  Yes, that is my real name and this is my real picture (I’m on facebook).  In this article I want to present a Fit Yummy Mummy Review.  I am quite familiar with it since I am an owner of the program.

Oh my goodness, I am amazed at all the websites out there that offer Fit Yummy Mummy reviews but when you read them you can tell they have never even bought/read/tried the program!  I will answer questions in the comment section below if you have any.

I am going to tell you what you will find in FYM and what you can expect when you order and use it. I am assuming that if you have found your way here you already know that FYM is a fat-loss (through nutrition/fitness) program for busy and/or new Moms, and I am also assuming that you have  already had a glance at the sales page.

First of all I will present a summary if you do not want to read through the details.  You can find more details below.

Fit Yummy Mummy Review Summary

The positives are that you do get what she says you will and the overall plan is solid.  The nutrition/meals are very healthy and the exercise routines are well planned out with pictures and descriptions and can truly take as little as 15 minutes a day.  There is a lot of detailed information but also included is a quick start guide to skip the details if you wish.  It is very positive, motivational, and makes you want to jump right in and get started.

Another thing that I like about the program is that Holly Rigsby is a real person and she is personally involved in the product.  Many ebook sales pages will talk about the author but you never really see them whereas Holly is very active all through this product in the sales and after.  By doing that, she puts her personal reputation on the line.  Also, the testimonies on her sales page are realistic.  The before and after pictures on her sales page vary in the degree of improvement the program has had on each individual.  In other words, she is showing the testimonials of real people rather then just the ones that had exceptional results.  Those two things add a lot of credibility to this program.

A Fit Yummy Mummy Review would not be complete without negatives and there are a few.  The negatives are not really against the overall food/exercise plan – all that looks great, but there is some promotion of nutritional products and videos/DVD’s, cookbooks, etc.  Some of these may actually be good if they provide further information that will help you.  For me, I think the basic package is great enough to accomplish a massive body change so I don’t plan to further invest in other options at this time.

Here is another point which may be a negative for some:  in the first 4 weeks of the exercises you do not need to own/buy any equipment – you can get by easily with household items.  However, after that you will need to use/invest in some inexpensive equipment like weights and an exercise ball.  I figure if the first 4 weeks are going great then that will be a positive (and minor) investment for the future!

Oh yes, she also says to stop using my scale and gives good reasons for it, but… I just can’t quite do that – I’m going to have to hop on the scale every now and then (especially since it was a Christmas gift that I asked for)!

I don’t see any more negatives except that to make it work you actually have to do it!  LOL!  Read on for the details or…

What To Expect From FYM

There are many bonuses and they are all described farther down in her sales page so I will review the  the heart of the program which is the “Fit Yummy Mummy Complete 16 Weeks Busy Mom’s Fat Loss System”.  It is an 80+ page book which is divided into 4 sections following the introduction.

• The first is motivational/preparation.  She works to get your mind in the best possible place to start and stay with the program.
• The second is the Supportive Nutritional Plan.  In this section she talks about foods to eat, foods to avoid, meal planning and has lists of healthy foods and how much to eat.  There is a calorie calculation.  She suggests using a food log when starting out.  She also provides guides on how many “cheat meals” to allow yourself each week.  The nutrition is all sound and healthy without being an overly restrictive diet or “weird” diet.  She provides a lot of tips to keep your eating on track.
• The third is the called “the Fit Yummy Mummy Workout Plan”.  In reviewing this, I was so happy to see the flexibility in workout scheduling.  You can choose to workout 15 minutes a day; 6 days a week, or, 30 minutes a day; 3 days a week.  The exercise plans are very well laid out and described completely.  Both beginners and advanced exercise backgrounds are addressed.  There are two different types of exercise that you will rotate between.  It is these types of exercises that allow maximum results from minimal time.  There is a ton more information and tips.
• The fourth is called “Fat Loss Boosters”.  This section is about measuring results, supplements, post workout meal, fat loss strategies, and meal planner tools and recipes.

Final Comments and FREE BONUS EBOOK

I really like this program.  I am using it as of about a week ago and what I really love are the short 15 minute exercises that leave me just “sore” enough the next day to know that I am making progress!

This program has an eight week 100% money back guarantee so you can do your own Fit Yummy Mummy Review and if it is not working for you, you can return it.  When you order Fit Yummy Mummy you will be offered more choices and add-ons to the original package.  Some of these may be very beneficial to you but please know that you do not have to have them in order to do the program.  The program is complete on it’s own.  It is really just a personal choice as to whether or not you may find them useful to your particular situation.

I believe in this product so much that I am offering a FREE BONUS if you buy this program through any of our links on AfterBabyWeight.com.  The bonus is a free ebook about parenting newborns.  If you would like to receive it, just click through to Fit Yummy Mummy on any of our links, then after purchasing, email your receipt number to contact@afterbabyweight.com and within 48 hours you will receive  a copy of the bonus ebook in your email!

Fit Yummy Mummy Review – My Experience

We constantly hear about celebrities such as Catherine Zeta-Jones, Reese Witherspoon, Gwyneth Paltrow and many others who lose amazing amounts of baby weight very quickly and are back to their pre-baby bodies within several weeks or a few months. How do they lose weight after their pregnancy so quickly? Is there something we can learn from them? Lets take a look.

Keep in mind that celebrity women are highly motivated to lose their pregnancy weight. They are under tremendous pressure from the media, the entertainment sector and the public. Their careers hinge on their looks.

They are generally in great shape prior to becoming pregnant and many of them, such as Nicole Richie, Samantha Harris, and Nicole Kidman continued to work out to some degree during pregnancy.

Celebrity Moms generally have two huge resources available to them that not all people have, and that is money and time. They can buy time by hiring nannies, personal trainers, personal chefs, etc. and they can spend hours a day working out if they so choose. Lets look at diet and exercise choices that celebrity Moms use to lose their pregnancy weight.

Celebrity Diets to Lose Weight After Pregnancy

Many celebrity Moms such as Jennifer Garner, Kate Hudson, Elizabeth Hurley and Catherine Zeta-Jones use a portion-controlled version of high lean-protein (ie. fish, chicken, lean beef) and low carb (ie. whole grains, nuts, fruit) diets with lots of veggies to lose weight after the baby. Some examples of the foods that Cate Blanchett, Heidi Klum, Jessica Alba, and Christina Aguilera used include brown rice, grilled chicken, steamed vegetables, and green tea.

Many celebrities such as Denise Richards, Uma Thurman, and Jennifer Lopez used a food delivery service that brought proportioned healthy meals right to their door. Jenny McCarthy choose to go with the commercial weight loss program, Weight Watchers. She liked it so much that she became a spokesperson for them. Still other celebrities will choose less healthy methods such as liquid diets or detox diets and some also choose tummy tuck surgery to get their shape back quick.

A large number of celebrity moms (or their trainers) suggest eating several (4-5) small meals a day rather than 3 meals a day or skipping meals. Eating frequently helps keep the metabolism up.

Celebrity Exercises to Lose Weight After Pregnancy

As for exercise, the type of exercise used by celebrity Moms to lose their pregnancy weight is quite varied. Some stars such as Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie are fans of yoga while Jennifer Garner and Gwen Stefani primarily use running as their main form of exercise before and after their pregnancies.

Some other examples, Kate Hudson primarily used a treadmill while Heidi Klum used both strength training and cardio exercises. Urma Thurman included martial arts and sword training skills in her exercise routine. As you can see, the type of exercise is varied but nearly 100% of celebrities included an exercise routine in their plan to get back in shape quickly. The large majority of the ones I have read about used a personal trainer and spent many hours a day working out.

Obviously as “real” Moms we should be careful about placing extreme expectations on ourselves because in general we do not have the resources to accomplish weight loss in such a short time. We do ourselves, our children and our spouses and a favor if we have a realistic plan for losing our baby weight and enjoy spending time just being a new Mommy!

There is still much we can learn from celebrity Moms without pushing ourselves to an extreme. Since they absolutely must lose the weight quickly they must be doing some things right – so, what can we glean from this?

How to Lose Weight After Pregnancy Like the Celebrity Moms

Well, the huge majority of them used healthy foods and ate 4-5 small meals a day.  They also participated in an exercise routine of their choosing.  The final result comes down to healthy eating and consistent exercise.  The key is to find the right diet that works for you and an exercise routine of your choosing that you can enjoy and stick with.

An Established Plan for Diet and Exercise to Lose Your Pregnancy Weight

It is designed to help Moms lose weight after pregnancy through guidance in nutrition and very effective, time-saving HOME exercises designed specifically for busy Moms.  The program is much more sensible than paying megabucks for trainers and meal delivery and it comes with an 8 week money-back guarantee!  I use Fit Yummy Mummy so please visit my Fit Yummy Mummy Review for more information!

Finding time to exercise is one of the biggest issues Moms face when it is time to lose the baby weight.  As a new Mom we are tired, sometimes stressed, and extremely busy.  Fortunately, exercise can help you sleep better, reduce stress, and increase your energy level.

This article presents a variety of ideas of how you can incorporate exercise into your busy routine to accelerate postpartum weight loss.  Some will be interesting to you and some may not.  The perfect exercise solution will be different for each Mom.  Success comes by finding the one that suits your schedule and personality.

Before starting any exercise program be sure that you are cleared by your physician.  Many doctors do not recommend exercise until 6 weeks after childbirth.

The Surgeon General recommends 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week to improve health and fitness.  The minimum length of an exercise session should be 10 minutes.  One sample schedule to reach this is to work out 30 minutes a day for five days of each week (or, two 15 minute segments twice a day for 5 days each week, etc).  There is a lot of flexibility and that is important for new Moms.

Exercise Solutions to Lose the Baby Weight:

1) Walking. Walking is a fantastic low-impact exercise to lose baby weight and improving health.  It is a great solution for new Moms to ease back into exercise.  Depending on the weather and where you live, you may be able to place your child in a stroller and walk outdoors.  If you work, you may be able to walk during lunch.  Another great thing about walking is that it doesn’t cost anything (except a decent pair of shoes).  However, if you have the space and money, you may want to invest in a treadmill as it allows you to walk in the comfort of your home anytime you wish.

2) Join the YMCA. The YMCA charges a monthly fee but it is usually quite reasonable compared to a gym AND they provide free childcare for their members.  This is especially nice for Moms as you can drop your child(ren) off at the child care facility and walk down the hall for a workout followed by a nice shower.  I am a member and have always enjoyed a workout and peaceful shower while having my kids close by in case there are any problems.  They also have many programs for your kids as they grow such as swimming lessons, indoor soccer, basketball, karate, T-ball, etc.  It’s definitely worth checking out your local YMCA.  Many times you can get a discount on your membership through the company you (or your husband) work for.

3) Exercise with your baby. There are many different exercises that can be done with your baby to strengthen yourself and lose baby weight.  Many of the common exercises like squats can be done with your baby in a carrier or sling. You can do sit-ups with your baby rested against your legs. While lying on your back you could push your baby up and down (if baby is old enough to have good head control).  Or, you could lay your baby on his/her back then do push-ups over top of them.  Always be sure the baby is safe during the exercises.  Search Google for more free advice on exercises or you may want to try some of the exercise DVDs for Mommy and baby from Amazon. There are some yoga DVDs with high customer ratings for Mom and baby.

4) Exercise DVDs. Exercise DVDs are a great way to boost post pregnancy weight loss and there are tons to choose from.  They are motivational, they guide you through the workout for a set amount of time, and you feel like you have a trainer or a group encouraging you.  One of the best ways to find the right DVD is to look through the selection at Amazon and read the customer reviews.  That way you can get a good idea what the exercise DVD is like before purchasing it.  You can do these DVDs anytime that is convenient for you like in the morning/evening when your baby is asleep or during naps or you can ask your spouse to take over while you get a work-out in.

5) Short burst exercise. Increase your activity level by squeezing in additional exercise throughout the day.  It is better to work out at least 10 minutes straight but if you can’t, you can still lose baby weight by increasing your activity level.  Start looking for various ways you can exercise throughout the day.  Do some sit-ups, push-ups, squats, or jog in place while watching TV.  Do some squats while waiting on the microwave.  Squeeze and release your buttock muscles while sitting at the computer.  If you have some free weights, keep them out somewhere convenient so you can use them when you find a few spare minutes here and there.  Take a look at tip #3 in our article, Lose Baby Belly, for a great abdomen exercise that you can do anywhere.

Hopefully this article will give you some ideas on how to get moving for speedy post baby weight loss!  Remember, exercise is often more fun with someone else so if you know anyone else trying to lose weight you may want to get them on board too!  Also, the perfect exercise routine is the one that works for your situation.   So, try some different exercise solutions to find the right one for you.
