Name: Tania Y
Number of children and ages: 3 kids 8, 6, & 4
Age: 39
CD: 6
Height: 5′6″
Weight: 169 (-7)
Bust: 37 (-1.5)
Waist: 31.5 (-2)
Hips: 42 (-1) (I sure wish this number would get lower lower lower!!!)
Why did you enter the SSS contest by BuffMother?
I entered the SSS contest so I could be more accountable for the work I need to do to reach my goals. I love the challenges and support I get in these challenges. It seems like all entrants want EVERYONE to succeed.
What tactics did you use to stay focused and engaged for the entire 70 days? I tried to check in often and keep up to date with everyone’s blogs. I tried to be honest about my efforts and sometimes LACK of effort. I took some focus off eating and just tried to meet each mini-challenge head on so I could see the most result. Most of all I tried to find more of a balance in all areas. It seems as though sometimes when I get dedicated to workouts or eats that my home and family suffer. This time I really tried to make sure I attacked from all directions so NO part of my world was neglected.
How do you feel about your success? I am happy with the scale weight I have lost. I love that my belt is 2 holes tighter now. I would’ve loved to have seen even more but who doesn’t want MORE? Just fuels me for heading into holidays and BEYOND!!
What obstacles did you have to overcome in order to attain your goals? With my 3 girls and all their activities it is mostly a time and energy obstacle. I sometimes get into a mental slump and I really had to reach out and push past all of that to keep going.
What would you like to tell the world about BuffMother? I just want everyone to come here and spend time get to know all these lovely ladies. It is one of the most wonderful places to be and can really help you stay on track and learn so many new things!
Super Star Success 2009 – First Place Winner!
Posted by buffmother in Fitness on January 22nd, 2010
First place goes to….
Name: Janienne K
Number of children and ages (it’s okay if you have 0): 3 boys. Ages 13, 4 and 2 (2 by c-section.
Age: 33
Before After
I entered the SSS contest to attempt to get into the best shape of my life. I have done that and more as far as I am concerned. For years, I had sabotaged my body with anorexia and bulimia. I have been healthy for 7 years now. I always thought that I had messed up my metabolism for good because I could not see any difference in the saddlebags below my butt. Since I have joined the SSSS contest, I kept up with the weekly mini challenges and actually carried them all the way through until the end. I am now squatting and lunging with 50 lbs of free-weights and have seen a major difference in the saddlebags. I don’t think I ever stuck anything out until the end like I did with this contest. I loved every minute of it!
What tactics did you use to stay focused and engaged for the entire 70 days?
I made sure I had all of my protein servings planned out each day and kept track of what I ate. I made sure I ate 5-6 times per day so I would not feel hungry. Any time I wanted to cheat I would think of how great I would feel and look at the end of this contest if I didn’t cheat. It was impossible not to cheat for the full 70 days. I do have to say, this contest kept me in check. In 70 days, I only missed 3 days of workouts and cheated a few of times. I have never done that before. I have amazed myself.
How do you feel about your success?
I feel great about the way I look now and I am going to keep striving to make more improvements. My goal is to be doing 200 lunges 4-5 times per week with 50 lbs of free weights within the next month.
Lack of sleep. I work nights and don’t get home until after 12:30 AM most nights and the kids are up by 6. I do have to say, fatigue was my biggest obstacle, but once I got my workout done, I felt great and felt like I accomplished something. Another obstacle was my two little guys always wanting to come and workout with me in the basement. It was tough at first, but I then decided to invite them to workout with me. They have fun doing it and it makes me laugh.
Like I have already told so many of my friends, just go to buffmother.com and check it out. You will be inspired by the stories and photos.
