Melissa ‘Mel’ Timbs, a vibrant 36-year-old, joined The Healthy Mummy community over two years ago. Her journey is more than just about weight loss; it’s a story of overcoming mental health challenges and working towards her dream of motherhood.
A Journey of Mind and Body
Two years ago, Mel was at her heaviest at 130 kilos. Today, she has lost over 26 kilos, but her transformation goes far beyond the numbers on the scale. Her journey took over a year, as she first focused on addressing mental health issues like binge eating and depression – and we’re so proud of everything she has achieved so far!
Finding Joy in Movement
Mel’s favourite part of The Healthy Mummy program is the workout programs under 15 minutes. She loves the variety of workouts available, with a particular fondness for anything involving boxing. Her top picks include Express Boxing 1, a 7-Minute HIIT full body workout, and the Take 10 workouts.
A Day on Mel’s Plate
Here’s what a typical day looks like for Mel with her favourite recipes from The Healthy Mummy app:
The Secret Weapon: Healthy Mummy Smoothies
Mel particularly loves the Tummy and plant-based smoothies. They’re gentle on her stomach, which is important due to her lactose and dairy intolerance. She finds them simple, easy to make, and versatile, making them her go-to for breakfast, especially on hot days.
Beyond the Scale: Non-Scale Victories
While Mel’s weight loss is impressive – dropping from a size 20 to a size 16 – her achievements go beyond the scale. She’s noticed increased confidence and a willingness to try new things.
For instance, she’s now attempting jumping jacks and high knees in workouts instead of immediately opting for modifications.
Her fitness has also improved significantly. She can now hold a plank for 1 minute and 5 seconds! A MASSIVE improvement from last year when she mentions she couldn’t even manage 30 seconds – what a feat to accomplish!
Words of Wisdom for New Mums
Mel’s advice for those starting their Healthy Mummy journey is to avoid overwhelming themselves. She suggests starting with a few goals at a time, such as drinking more water. She emphasises the importance of reaching out to the community for support and notes that even changing one healthy habit daily is a great start.
The Secret to Staying on Track
When motivation wanes, Mel’s strategy is simple: reach out to the community. She finds the support there invaluable!!
Mel’s journey with The Healthy Mummy is a powerful reminder that true health encompasses both body and mind. It’s about progress, not perfection, and the small victories that add up to big changes.
As Mel continues on her path towards health and her dream of motherhood, her story serves as an inspiration to all of us. It’s a testament to the power of community, perseverance, and believing in oneself.
