Congratulations – you’re in the final week of the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge for September!
Well done on getting this far and even if you’ve had hiccups along the way and haven’t been able to follow the Challenge as closely as you would have liked, you’re still making changes and learning to be consistent with a healthy lifestyle which add up to reaching the big goals.
For the final week, can you push yourself a little harder? Add in some extra exercise or ensure every meal is a healthy choice? You’ll feel so great at the end of the Challenge if you’ve been able to make an extra effort now we’re so close to the end.
The more you choose the right meals to eat and continue with your exercise routines, the more they will just become part of your usual lifestyle. You are creating new, good habits every time you make healthy choices.
If you have started to create these healthy habits then when the Challenge is over you can continue with eating well and being active to get even closer to your weight loss goals. Just because the Challenge has ended, doesn’t mean you should stop your great work.
Over this final week we will be bringing you
- More delicious and healthy recipes (where the ingredients can be increased to feed the whole family), including some extra tasty breakfasts, healthy versions of burgers and falafels and even a healthy Pavlova option! Remember to change ingredients and meal options to suit your needs and tastes.
- More daily exercises that can be done in the comfort of your own home and no equipment or gym is required – try and push yourself that little bit further in this final week – you can do it!
- Shopping lists with different versions to suit different situations plus highlights of dinner ingredients so you can easily increase recipes to feed everyone if needed.
- Lots of motivation and extra bonus recipes to try.
- Lots of inspiration from other mums on our Challenge within our Private Support Group. Also have a read of our tips on how to keep motivated when it all feels too hard – don’t stop now.
Use the tools
- Please remember to use the tools in the Challenge Hub
- We have breastfeeding information and guidelines for mums who are breastfeeding their babies
- We have BMR calculators so you can work out if you need to increase your daily calories on the plan
- We have the fitness test tool – so you can monitor your fitness at the beginning and end of the Challenge to see the improvement in your fitness – as well as health, energy levels and weight
- We have new recipes and snack options to keep you motivated and suit all tastes. Remember to look at each weekly meal plan at the start of the week and work out what you want to try, what you might increase to feed the family, what ingredients you might want to substitute. We provide the outline but you can still mix things up to suit your circumstances and requirements
- We’ve listed lots of tips on the shopping list PDFs to help you save money when purchasing your groceries for the Meal Plans – we want this to be as accessible as possible for everyone
- We have two different shopping lists for this Challenge – a full version and a version that doesn’t include the breakfast recipes, in case you have a Healthy Mummy Smoothie in the morning
- We have our Challenge Members only blog with extra recipes
- We have our Resources area with our Top 30 Smoothie eBook, our bonus Freezer Recipe ebook plus when you refer 5 friends you can get a free ecopy of our Chocolate Treats & Baking Book
