Kelly McFadyen's Success Story

Hi Michelle
My Name is Kelly & I live in Auckland, New Zealand. I am nearly 35. Four months ago I gave birth to my 2nd daughter (Jorja). My eldest daughter is 16!

During the pregnancy with Jorja, I somehow managed to gain 23 kilos.... a huge amount! I was horrified! I had been watching my diet and walking as often as I could... but still the kilos kept on coming!

I gave birth to Jorja on the 12th August 2006 - she was a big girl at 9lbs 9! It was a natural birth, drug free and took just 5 and a half hours from start to finish.
After she was born I gave myself a couple of weeks rest then gradually started going for walks again (which was a bit tricky sometimes, as we were still in winter).
My diet continued to be reasonably healthy and I was also breastfeeding.

I first weighed myself when Jorja was 5 weeks old. I had lost 17 kgs! That was an inspiration and I just started doing more of what I had been doing... going for walks and watching what I ate - which was easier now, as summer was on its way! It was still challenging as being a breastfeeding mother my appetite was huge. I made sure I had a really good breakfast and made sure I had a smaller dinner - I didnt deny myself treats because I felt I deserved it!

I recently weighed myself again as I noticed some of my clothing was getting very loose. Jorja is now 4 months old and I have lost 25 kgs! I now weigh less than when I got pregnant!

I am surprised and thrilled! I thought that with being an older mum this time round, the weight would be with me forever...
Im so glad I was wrong!

Here are the pics.... I took the after pics today. Thank you for all your help and inspiration :)

Regards
Kelly McFadyen
