I never really strengthened or conditioned some of the areas of the body affected by a pregnancy. After nineteen years of bearing children, I did not want to look pregnant anymore. My hips and thighs were a size 6 on the (catalog sizing) charts and my belly was a size 13/14. I believe many tummy tuck surgeries could be avoided with this program. I lost over 10 pounds and 3” on my waist.

I relied on the Postnatal Bootcamp to help wisk away the pregnancy weight. As soon as this was done, the Shed 5 Fast workout plan aided in toning my muscles. Not only did I drop the 5 pounds, but I have dropped below my pre-pregnancy weight.
Ashley
After 6 weeks I lost 4 pounds, 2 inches in my waist and 2 inches in my hips!! I fit into all my pants now, including the slimmer ones :)
My name is Ashley and I did the Shed 5 Fast video and loved it!
I'm a mom of 3 little kids. Logan is 4 1/2, Gavin is 2, and Jane is 4 months.
For my workout regimen I teach aerobics, kickboxing, yoga, and toning at our church building 4 days a week. I read Amy's story who was in your Postnatal Boot Camp, Boot Camp 2 and Core Fitness for Moms DVDs. It sounds an awful lot like mine. People were teaching the workout at my church and they were moving and I didn't want the workouts to end so I volunteered to teach. 3 years and 2 more kids later, I'm still teaching.

I’m a master at starting things with great gusto, and then petering out a few weeks later... Now I’m enjoying the compliments from people who haven’t seen me in a while.
Erica
My entire life I have been classified as a “skinny” or “thin” person. [I] took up running… But my body STILL wasn’t what I wanted it to be.
My entire life I have been classified as a “skinny” or “thin” person. In fact, in high school I think some people referred to me as a “toothpick”. I never really thought much about it. I figured it was in my genes. As long as I ate right, my body would just take care of the rest. (Boy, would I ever learn that I was mistaken.) Now don’t get me wrong, there were plenty of aspects about my body that I was unhappy about, but at least when it came to being thin, that was one thing I didn’t have to worry about…. or so I thought.
Karla
I am confident wearing my TWO-PIECE swimsuit at her baby swim classes, and I cannot WAIT for our family vacation on the beach in Aruba in just a few months. Throughout the 6 weeks I actually dropped to 137lbs a couple times – a weight I don’t remember since college!

My appearance was a metaphor for how I was feeling inside. I turned thirty last September, and I remember having this moment where I just broke down in tears because I was out of shape, dissatisfied with my appearance, sleep-deprived, and frustrated with the busyness of my days. When I was consistently working out 5 days a week, my energy level was higher, I felt better on less sleep, and I found my cravings for less-than-nutritious food diminish. You CAN get a great workout in 30 minutes... Lindsay’s DVDs don’t waste my time!
Laura
I can heal my abs without surgery. They are about half way back to normal and I am sure they will be back by summer since I’ll be keeping up my workouts.
Mindy
I was sore in new areas and excited for each workout. I accompanied my husband on a business trip for a week of relaxation and eating out 3 times a day. I was able to lose a pound even during this week of constantly eating out.

The moms at Moms Into Fitness want to hear your success story! Whether it is getting your body back (even though your youngest is 12 years old), fitting into that new pair of jeans, or losing 5 pounds we want to know about it!
Success is what happens when you stay consistent. This year don't rely on pure willpower, it works for very few people. And willpower can turn your positive energy into negative energy when you don't see results. Try MOTIVATION...pull out the jeans you've been dying to squeeze into or a picture of you at your best!
Remember that 3 weeks can make or break a habit. You can be consistent for that long, right? You don't have to get healthy or lose weight for the purpose of looking better, but FEELING BETTER.
So grab your Shed 5 Fast DVD and conquer your New Year's Resolution this time. For added guidance customize your WEIGHT LOSS PLAN. You will get a free meal plan, find your true ideal weight, calculate your metabolism and print a progress tracker.
