The countdown to summer is on! Have you set your summer goal yet?

Our mums are working their way to their best summer body with our FREE 100 Days To Summer Countdown Challenge.

We asked three of our mums to give us their goal for summer and share their top three tips to help mums stay on track when trying to reach their goals.

Kaitie, Julie and Lauren share their summer goal and top 3 tips for staying motivated

Kaitie Purssell

“As a busy Mum of two and after years of trying fad diets and only having short-term success if any results at all I joined The Healthy Mummy’s 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge and have lost 3.4st. to date.

For me, The Healthy Mummy taught me I didn’t have to miss out to lose weight. I could eat MUCH MORE than 1200 calories a day and get significant results!

Since joining The Healthy Mummy I have not only lost weight but I have gained my health, I have gained confidence and I am setting the best possible example for my two young girls.”

“My summer goal is to tone up and build on my strength!

Kaitie’s 3 tips for staying on track:

1. Meal Prep and Snack Prep every chance you get. Preparation is key to success!
2. Drink 2-3 litres of water a day. I find this much easier when I carry a water a bottle around with me.
3. Move your body whenever you can.

Go for a walk with the kids, do 10 squats every chance you get or try out some exercises from The Healthy Mummy 28 Day Challenge App – Tabata is my favourite!”

Julie Banham

“When I first started with The Healthy Mummy, I weighed over 18st. and I was never in family photos which meant I missed out on so much. Fast forward to now, I’m 8.9st. down and I’m a different person. I feel happy and confident.

I go to the gym five days a week and play indoor netball with my 23-year-old daughter. I can keep up with my 3 and 8-year-old girls and I love life!

I meal prep and love to make new recipes off the 28 Day Challenge App each week. The 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge keeps me on track.”

“My summer goal is to lose my last 10 pounds, I also want to do some serious toning and try and work on building more muscle at the gym.

Julie’s 3 tips for staying on track are:

1. Be organised. Have a clear plan for your week ahead. Meal and snack prep is so important to keep you on track
2. Keep track of your daily calories as you eat them making sure that you don’t exceed your daily calories each day.
3. Learn to love exercising. Try to incorporate exercise into 5 days a week and have two days of rest.

Most importantly do this for yourself.  Nobody else. Try to put yourself first for once because you’re worth it.”

Lauren Kolstad

“I first found The Healthy Mummy when my son was turning 2 and it was time to take control of my health. I had gained weight and was the heaviest I’d ever been at 17.4st. I lost 4.3st. in around 10-months and maintained this until I got pregnant with my second child.

I had healthy weight gain while pregnant, but during the first year of being a mum of two I turned back to old emotional eating habits and gained a fair bit of what I’d lost.

Over the past 2.5 years since my daughter was born, I’ve slowly started chipping away and working my way back to a goal and I’ve now lost 1.8st.”

“My summer goal is to continue to work on my self-confidence and wear my swimmers at the beach with my kids knowing that I’m doing all I can to be a healthy and fit Mumma.

Lauren’s 3 tips for staying on track are:

1. Set lots of different goals – when you have more than one thing to aim for, it helps keep you motivated and on track. Mine are both fitness and weight loss/size related.
2. Write out your plan of attack for the week. Think about the little steps you need to reach your goal.
3. Don’t worry about the 3st. you have to lose – focus on smaller increments (or other non-scale goals).
