Weight loss for busy moms and business owners
Most of these women are busy moms, and two run their own business. Seven of them lost from 20 to 58 lbs with our online coaching, and Dulce lost 13 lbs of body fat.
How Yesenia, a mom, lost 58 lbs and stopped yo yo dieting
Yesenia is a mom, and she lost 58 lbs with A Cup of Fitness. She used to lose weight with very small meals, protein shakes and lots of cardio. She tried so many things, and the weight would go down and then go back up.
What worked: balanced meals on a meal plan she could stick to, holding herself accountable, and lifting weights, which she found out she loves. She passed her goal of 50 lbs, and she knows what to do to keep the weight off.
“With you, I learned how to stick to my meal plan and eat balanced meals. I learned to stay accountable to myself, and I discovered I LOVE to lift weights.”

Denise is a busy mom of 2, and she lost 50 lbs with A Cup of Fitness. For a full year, she did more workouts and more cardio and tried to eat better, and she stayed stuck. A long week often turned into a weekend of treats and extras.
What worked: 3 to 4 home workouts a week, a daily step goal, 4 balanced meals with protein and a plan she could keep through the weekend.
“I really tried for a whole year on my own and did not see any progress.”

How Barbara, a bartender and grandma, lost 43 lbs with home workouts
Barbara is a bartender, a mom of 3 and a grandma, and she lost 43 lbs with A Cup of Fitness. She wanted to be active for her new granddaughter. Food was her biggest struggle: she did not know how to make meals she liked, and fast food was the easy choice. She did not know what workouts to do either, and she once thought 20 lbs was her limit.
What worked: meals she enjoys and quick home workouts 2 or 3 times a week. She has more energy now, and on walks around the park, her fiancé gets tired before she does. She celebrated with her first photoshoot.
“I was really surprised that I did lose the weight, but I was also surprised at everything that I gained. I gained a lot of confidence.”

How Erica, a business owner and mom of 2, lost 35 lbs with meal planning
Erica is a business owner and a mom of 2, and she lost 35 lbs with A Cup of Fitness. Her routine changed every week, and she believed consistency was not possible for her.
What worked: a plan that fits her life, started in the middle of the holidays, with food she loves and easier meal planning. We focused on consistency, not perfection. Now she has the energy to get through her day, she is in control of her habits instead of stress eating, and she joined the gym with confidence.
“My biggest accomplishment is that meal planning has become easier to do. Not only do I eat healthier, but my family does too.”

How Jobanna, a working mom of 3, lost 23 lbs by fixing her weekends
Jobanna is a medical billing supervisor and a mom of 3, and she lost 23 lbs with A Cup of Fitness. Before, she was working out 5 days a week and still not losing weight. She got up before her kids to train and chased 10,000 steps a day. She ate breakfast on the go at school drop offs and used her lunch break for pick ups. Weekends, full of family plans and sports, were her biggest struggle.
What worked: not more workouts, but a plan built for her busy weekends, so she did not have to choose between her goals and her family. Now she no longer feels out of control on weekends.
“Biggest accomplishment is finally feeling better in my own skin.”

How Cindy, an Amazon Live host and mom, lost 20 lbs with less cardio
Cindy hosts Amazon Live and is a full time working mom of a toddler, and she lost 20 lbs with A Cup of Fitness. On camera, she reviews outfits in front of thousands of people, and behind the camera she did not feel good in her body. She spent her first 3 years as a mom trying to feel confident in her body again. She used to rely on lots of cardio and eating less.
What worked: lifting weights instead of lots of cardio and eating less. She got stronger and more consistent, and she is still getting stronger.
“This is working. I feel great. I feel so optimistic and feel amazing!”

How Dulce lost 13 lbs of body fat with strength training
Dulce is an A Cup of Fitness client, and she lost 13 lbs of body fat with us. For years, she quit every program after 6 to 8 weeks because she did not see results.
What worked: strength training. She started with 2 lb dumbbells for her upper body and worked up to 10 lbs, even though heavy weights scared her at first. Fitness went from a chore to something she looks forward to, and she has stayed consistent far past 8 weeks. Now she proudly wears skirts that show her muscle definition.
