However, she started gaining weight after pregnancy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs soon as I started having babies, the weight just kind of started piling on. I never lost it in between having babies. I had a lot of nasty habits too. I was very self-indulgent. I believe that you only live once and must enjoy your life.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She\u2019s also a big foodie. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI love food. I love cooking. I love baking. I kind of share my love through food, and I feel like that\u2019s an important part of family time and togetherness. So a combination of all of those things had just really packed on the pounds.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Megan and her husband tried different weight loss techniques to shed the extra pounds; however, their efforts hardly bore fruit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy husband and I both tried to lose weight, but never really lost more than maybe five pounds at a time. It never lasted more than three months.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, after quitting, she would fall back into her old habits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of 2019, Megan\u2019s husband joined the Fit Father Project, and he<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0achieved quick and incredible results. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the same period, Megan began exploring different fitness programs for herself but couldn\u2019t find a suitable one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI had just gotten to this really low point, feeling pretty hopeless that nothing was going to work for me. I thought that it was working for my husband because men always lose weight fast and women don\u2019t.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Around the same time, Megan ran a 5K but was unhappy with her performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI have a very fit sister who is also a personal trainer. I ran the 5k with her, and I\u2019ve never been more embarrassed. I did it. I finished it, but I was trapped in this place of comparison and just stuck and unhappy and feeling like there was nothing that I could do.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s when her husband suggested she join the Fit Mother Project program. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI had reached the end point where I couldn\u2019t fit in my life jacket anymore. I didn\u2019t have the endurance that I used to have. I couldn\u2019t keep up with my family on hikes anymore. I was always in the back and had to take lots of rest. I couldn\u2019t do the things I wanted to do anymore. And that hit me hard. And I thought anything was worth trying at this point. So that\u2019s when I signed up for the Fit Mother Project.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Depression and overeating disorders can make for a challenging weight loss journey as a busy mom. See how Megan overcame it all!<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-responsive\"><iframe src=\" https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vC5LHKo_xSI?modestbranding=1&autohide=1&showinfo=0&controls=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>Finding Her Mission and Motivation<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Megan, her mission statement (something everyone has to write when joining FMP) was a big eye-opener for her. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s like taking a real honest look at yourself in the mirror when you write that mission statement. If you\u2019re honest with yourself about it and you allow yourself to be vulnerable in that, it takes you to this place of like almost desperation, like I\u2019m doing this.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She began working out and started with Apex 10. She started with five-pound weights but soon had to drop them and continue without the weights. It was challenging for her.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily, her husband was there for her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI was fortunate that my husband had been doing the Fit Father Project. He was a major support to me, and the fact that we could plan our meals together was exciting. He was cooking more. I\u2019ve always done all the cooking, but he had started cooking so that he could eat the food that he knew he needed to eat.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her kids were also big supporters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy kids were there watching me working out, which was a big motivation. They would sit there and watch me do the workout, and nothing pushed me to get through to the end of the workout more than this. Having your children watching you and your husband there cheering you on was great.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, Megan struggled with depression and a lot of negative self-belief. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were weeks and days when she didn\u2019t feel like doing anything. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So she started considering herself lazy and worthless. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nevertheless, the Fit Mother Project program changed the way she looked at herself and paved the way to positive self-belief.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI was starting to schedule my day and make time for things, which was huge. It was huge for me because that was never a possibility in the past. I typically work out around 9:00 or 9:30 in the morning. I\u2019m able to plan my weeks ahead now. That\u2019s one of the skills that the Fit Mother Project has taught me. Now I plan.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At one point, Megan was so determined and motivated to achieve her goals that she started working out at 6:30 am, after waking up at 4:30 am.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m sure I shocked the world when I did that because 4:30 is a rough hour. It was dark outside, but I just was determined, and I had seen so much growth that there was no way I was going to give it up. I love it, and it makes me feel good.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Megan, nutrition is by far the most critical element of weight loss, and exercise is crucial for exerting personal power and building determination and emotional momentum.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI feel like our whole shopping has changed. What I have in my fridge and pantry has changed drastically and become a habit. I feel like we have a lot of quick, good things to grab easily now. I used to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables before, but now when I go shopping, my car is loaded even more from the produce section.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before starting the Fit Mother Project program, Megan and her family often ate out. Not so much anymore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe ate out a lot and drank a lot of soda when we ate out. We were getting treats every week, a couple of times a week. We realized we were making baked goods. I was letting my kids bake almost every day. So those I think were the biggest habits that changed.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, she feels like the proper nutrition has cleaned up her system and removed all the background noise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI am doing the right things for my body, and my body does speak to me. And I love eating this way. I don\u2019t need the junk.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And she always reminds herself that slow and steady wins the race, and now her\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">weight loss is maintainable and sustainable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs you continue to cycle through the next several phases, they build on each other mentally more than anything. The last phase was hard, but I did it. <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I gained this mental toughness and confidence. I would hit roadblocks, but I learned how to get around them.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Megan, her Fit Mother Project journey was indeed a transformative process. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI feel like, for me, the biggest and most important transformation happened within myself, within my mind. <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I asked God for help because I want to be there for my children. I want to be a better mother and a better partner to my husband. I want to be a better community member. But my body was holding me back. All of the choices that I was making before were taking away from my life.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to her, the Fit Mother Project gave her a structure to work with and guidelines to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s definitely been a very spiritual journey for me. I had a lot of negative self-talk before and did not feel good about myself. That affected my relationship with my husband, family, and friends. Once I started the Fit Mother Project journey, I flipped that around and was taking care of myself.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>So what would Megan say to someone looking to join the Fit Mother Project?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You become the person that you want to be by your actions and your efforts. You can become anything if you just put that work and effort into it. It doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re meant to be heavy and lazy for the rest of your life simply because it\u2019s in your genes. Your daily actions and efforts over time will determine what you become.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8030 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Megan-Parr-IG.jpg\" alt=\"overcoming depression\" width=\"630\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Megan-Parr-IG.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Megan-Parr-IG-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Megan-Parr-IG-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Megan-Parr-IG-195x194.jpg 195w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Key Takeaways From Megan's Journey<\/h2>\n<p>To summarize, here are two key lessons you can learn from Megan\u2019s successful health and fitness journey:<\/p>\n<h3>Lesson 1: When You Accomplish Something Difficult, There\u2019s No Better Feeling in the World<\/h3>\n<p>If you are determined and willing to succeed, nothing can stop you from achieving your goals.<\/p>\n<p>You can overcome even the most challenging of barriers.<\/p>\n<p>And when you do, you feel more confident and proud.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, there\u2019s no better feeling in the world than accomplishing something difficult.<\/p>\n<p>Megan\u2019s story is an excellent example.<\/p>\n<p>By achieving her weight loss and fitness goals, she overcame depression and became confident.<\/p>\n<h3>Lesson 2: The Right Nutrition Is Extremely Vital<\/h3>\n<p>Proper nutrition is critical to maximizing athletic performance.<\/p>\n<p>It is also the key to losing weight.<\/p>\n<p>Good nutrition can help you shed excess pounds \u2014 without feeling hungry or having food cravings!<\/p>\n<p>Healthy foods such as protein shakes, salads, and more are packed with nutrients, unlike processed foods, which are typically loaded with sugar, salt, and fat.<\/p>\n<h2>What is FM30X?<\/h2>\n<p>FM30X is a simple, sustainable, and specific weight loss program that is designed especially for busy women over 40.
