I began the challenge with the idea of changing MY life. I now realize that my decision changed many things not only for me, but for others as well! It’s already been five months since I took this turn in my life, my husband has lost 25 lbs simply by eating healthier, and my kids now have a mom full of energy who feels good!

To all the women who don’t like themselves, I would like to say, do it for yourself! Stop postponing! The superwoman in you is perfectly able to do it! With the help of those who love you, anything is possible!

I have a baby who’s only a few months old, a two and a half year old son who runs everywhere, and a husband who works long hours. For three months, my mom and sister played babysitter. My friends were with me each step of the way, and my husband has been of infinite patience. To succeed, I had a balanced nutrition plan, and trained 6 days a week. I sometimes had to leave the gym at 10 PM, and yes, baby wakes up before sunrise. But let me tell you that we feel good, proud, and strong!

No more excuses! I can! Go moms, we can do it!

Thanks to Nautilus Plus and all the staff at the Dollard-Des-Ormeaux club for encouraging me, for their smiles, and their high-fives! Thanks to Jaimie for passing on to me this new and delicious way of eating, and thanks a thousand times to Valérie for making me discover all these unknown muscles!
