Hi I’m Nikola and I’ll be one of your Motivating Mums for May. I’ve lost 16kg since August and have been doing the 28 Day Challenges and smoothies since then.
I’m really looking forward to motivating you all and motivating myself even more too. I have been so inspired and motivated by other Mums on Lose Baby Weight so now I feel honoured to have been chosen as someone to help motivate you!

I’m a single mum to 3 year old twins and they are a huge support of mine and one of my biggest motivators. I’m changing my lifestyle for myself, but also so that I can be a better mum to them. I want to join in with them, not sit on the sidelines and watch.
I am now about to complete my 10th 28 Day Challenge. I lost 4kg my very first time on the challenge and was shocked! I was eating yummy food that you wouldn’t expect to be healthy (because it tasted so good!) and I was dropping weight.
I especially loved how easy the recipes were to follow, that my weekly menu was planned, my shopping list provided and all I had to do was shop and cook.
In addition to doing the exercises provided through the challenge, I’ve also been using the Lose Baby Weight exercise DVD, I love that the DVD is so quick and easy to put on and that its broken up into 15 minute sections.
I have been closely following the menu plans, doing the daily exercises, and also meal planning and prepping as much as I can. Meal prepping is incredibly helpful to staying on track. I truly believe meal planning and prepping is the key to staying on track. If you are interested I even wrote a blog about meal planning and prep.
I am very involved on the private Facebook support group, posting regularly as a way to motivate myself and keep myself accountable. The support I receive from everyone on the page is so overwhelmingly positive. Initially I just couldn’t believe how supportive such a large group of women could be.
One of the things I most love about the 28 Day Challenges is that I’m now eating a much wider variety of meals. I’ve opened up my tastebuds to things I would never have eaten before. The meals are all so family friendly and my boys love the food! This is a huge bonus for me as I only have to cook once, and I know my family are eating healthy nutritious meals.
I’m now about to start my 10th 28 Day Challenge and I’m really excited to start the Energy Boosting Challenge as my boys certainly keep me on my toes! Could always use some new food ideas to keep my energy up.
I look forward to keeping you all motivated and on track and hope to share some ideas and tips they may benefit you all.
Nikola x
