I'm a mom to 3 beautiful girls. I just had my 3rd baby 4 months ago and I am trying to work my way back to my 6 pack abs (I'm on my way)! Before having kids, I never really "worked out". I was active and ate pretty healthy, so I didn't feel the need to work on my body. With my first child I was terrified that I might hurt the baby by working out, so I basically laid around my house all day and ate junk. I gained over 50 lbs. and my body was a mess.

Since Thanksgiving, I have lost 20 pounds, and over 10 of those have come just from this 4 week challenge! I followed Lindsay’s 4-week workout schedule almost to a tee. Sometimes I swapped the days off depending on what I had going on. I’ve got to say that I feel sooo much better already. My road to better fitness and a healthy weight is pretty long, but the results I have seen over the past 4 weeks—like seeing how much better my pants fit, for example—are tremendous motivators. I can’t wait to show you more updates over the next year!

I know the contest is geared for moms, but I'm sending in my hubby's, too, as extra incentive for him since we're dropping pounds together. He can keep up with P90x, but he's puffing hard after 1 core session with Lindsay and is really impressed with how fast he can work up a sweat and get his heart rate up. Tonight he said now that he's tried Dance Jam once with me he'll never do it again. Ever. :-) The strangest twist after a month - I dropped pounds like ballast and Jeff apparently gained mucho muscle. Both of us are more than happy with the results!

In the summer of 2007 I went to Hawaii on family vacation in the best shape of my life. At that time it was just my husband and me. About 6 weeks after vacation, we discovered we were going to have a little one in April 2008. During my pregnancy, I gained 60 pounds. I know, ridiculous. After I had my beautiful daughter, it took forever to get the weight off. It didn't help that this new little being was sucking every piece of energy out of me so I hardly worked out.

Well, 4 weeks has flown by and I’m feeling really good about the beginning of this fitness journey. I have to say firstly that the 4 weeks did not go uninterrupted. Life happened. The flu bug hit my household for 10 days and we traveled for 4 days staying in other people houses. I did not get in as many workouts as I would have liked, but that is besides the point. This fitness routine gave my body a longing for exercise.

When I got married in 2004, I weighed 135lbs and was healthy and in good shape. Soon after our wedding, my husband & I were expecting our first child. During my pregnancy I was diagnosed with hypertension, had a couple of hospitalizations and was put on bedrest for a month. After our frist daughter, Isabella, was born I instantly dropped 20lbs while breast feeding. Soon after, I gained the weight back and struggled to lose any more of the baby weight.

I am a mum of one, and I am from Sydney Australia. After having my beautiful little girl late June 08 I was left with loose stomach muscles and loose skin :( after losing the baby weight I still could not get rid of my mummy belly. While in the hospital I was told I had Diastasis recti and was given stomach bracing exercises to do, but didn't really see a great deal of change.

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.
