Last month, 1,950 of our Healthy Mummy members took a few minutes to tell us a little bit about their lives. We were absolutely blown away by the quality of the feedback we got, and we’re excited to share what we learned with you.
You told us you’re sleep-deprived and time-poor. You’re flat out juggling multiple people and priorities, such that skipping breakfast has become commonplace and grabbing a takeaway on the weekend is essential for survival.
We hear you!!!!
The rest of what you told us can be found below, and we’ll be responding to this research with helpful articles filled with practical suggestions and healthy alternatives. 
DID YOU KNOW that only 5% of mums are getting a full night’s sleep?

DID YOU KNOW that takeaway is a regular dinner in almost three quarters of homes?
Getting dinner on the table is a chore that most women are more than happy to have a break from. If your partner doesn’t help out in the kitchen, then ordering takeaway can be a sanity saver! We have 5 lazy (but healthy) dinner ideas to stop you from reaching for the take away menu when you just don’t feel like cooking.

DID YOU KNOW that almost a quarter of mums find that resisting chocolate is the hardest thing about following a weight loss plan?
We TOTALLY get this. Who really wants to give up chocolate? NO-ONE!! Some of you might have amazing will power but others, like us, find chocolate just too hard to resist. At the Healthy Mummy we are all about ‘everything in moderation’ and we never expect you to give up chocolate. In fact, we have put together a list of 8 healthy ways you can enjoy chocolate and still lose weight.
DID YOU KNOW that 65% of mums think the hardest part of weight loss is staying motivated.
Motivation is something that comes and goes in waves. We often start our weight loss journey with huge motivation, but after a few weeks it can begin to dwindle. This is perfectly normal and we have 10 tips to help you stay motivated when you feel it starting to slide.
Winter can often be the hardest time of the year to keep motivated, especially when it comes to exercise. It’s so much easier to stay rugged up indoors than brave the cold to do a workout. Luckily we have 7 great ideas for exercising during the cold winter months.
