It was literally killing her, and she needed to make a change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She found the Fit Mother Program online, convinced her best friend to join with her, and within a year she lost over 90 pounds! Her husband joined Fit Father and lost 25lbs himself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most importantly, Kristen was able to reinvigorate her life, physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She got herself completely on track, and learned so many amazing lessons along the way!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8093 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Kristen-Piwetz-IG.jpg\" alt=\"breaking bad habits\" width=\"630\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Kristen-Piwetz-IG.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Kristen-Piwetz-IG-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Kristen-Piwetz-IG-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Kristen-Piwetz-IG-195x194.jpg 195w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Listen to Kristen's Story on the Fit Mother Project Podcast:<\/h2>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 200px; margin-bottom: 20px; border-radius: 6px; overflow: hidden;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 200px;\" src=\"https:\/\/player.captivate.fm\/episode\/81cd51d6-4bbf-4177-92b5-527cd3c95515\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>Depressed, Discouraged, and Unhappy in Life<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One day at church, Kristen met an old friend who had lost about 30 pounds on the Fit Father Program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She was thoroughly impressed by his genuine transformation and decided to explore the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/foundations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fit Mother Program<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI got home that night, hopped on my computer, and found that the Fit Mother Project was the complement to the Fit Father Project. I was really excited about it, so I talked to my best friend about it. She was looking for a change too. So we joined the program and never looked back.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>At the time of joining the Fit Mother Project, Kristen weighed 235 pounds. Here's what Kristen shares:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI was at my heaviest. I'm midlife. I'm not in a place where I can continue the pattern of old habits. I've got to make a change. I was lacking a lot of energy. I wasn't happy in lots of places in my life, and that lack of contentment was affecting my marriage, family, and relationships with people.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite her weight, Kristen was doing her best to remain physically active. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nevertheless, continuously pushing her her body without the right approach to exercise was leading to burnout & depression.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI was trying to do a lot of things that I just wasn't physically able to do anymore. I started sinking into a place of significant discouragement. When I look back, I feel like I was probably depressed, and I'm a bit of a pessimist anyway.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>One of Kristen\u2019s biggest weaknesses was emotional eating, which played a significant role in her weight gain.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy brother had died the fall of the year before. So the patterns of emotional eating that I had then hit overdrive, and I gained an extra 15 to 20 pounds in about six months. So I knew I needed to change the way I was living my life. I couldn\u2019t continue because I was going to eat myself to death.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Even though Kristen had tried some weight loss techniques before joining the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/foundations?utm_source=blog-post&utm_medium=text-link&utm_term=Kristens-story&utm_content=&utm_campaign=fm30x\">Fit Mother Program<\/a>, she lacked the foundational understanding of health to experience sustainable results. <\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe way the Fit Mother Project Project laid out the educational aspects of what nutrition looks like was simply great. I learned so much. I loved the <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">program's structure<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and being able to control my environment. It was a fantastic experience because it felt like you were equipping me right from the beginning on how exactly to do that.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything from lessons on the importance of hydration to preparing healthy meals was life-changing for Kristen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Find out how Kristen created healthy habits and behaviors using a positive feedback loop!<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-responsive\"><iframe src=\" https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VQYtlgYnyAM?modestbranding=1&autohide=1&showinfo=0&controls=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>Breaking Bad Habits<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/foundations\/\">Fit Mother Program<\/a> gave Kristen the courage and motivation to get rid of her unhealthy old habits. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Even though building new habits was overwhelming, she kept going and gave it her best.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt was a lot of work. Every morning I'd get up and already have a plan because of the journaling that the Fit Mother Project had given us. It taught us about our water intake, breakfast, lunch, dinner, our go-to meals, and things like that. It really prepared me for success straight out in front without me having to make a lot of decisions in the spur of the moment.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Still, one of the most nerve-wracking aspects of the Fit Mother Program for Kristen was exercising.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI was scared to death because even though I was a physical person in the past, I never did anything past college. But even then, I was overweight and never fit, nor had I been given a lot of instruction on how to do that. So the exercises were excellent.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within two weeks of joining the Fit Mother Project, Kristen began noticing changes in her body and the way she felt about herself, even though they were not clearly visible on the scale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>She recalls how the Fit Mother Project urges you to celebrate non-scale victories (NSVs).<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI could see strides being made very early on, even if it wasn't on the scale, which is great because the program recognizes non-scale victories too. Sometimes they're bigger than the ones on the scale that you get on every morning.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Kristen's entire family began to get on board. Her husband joined the Fit Father Project and lost 25 pounds!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn the process of all this happening, my husband and children have done better. They eat a lot more of what I eat nowadays. And I keep a lot less in the house, giving them the opportunity to eat according to my plans. Desserts and other things that used to trigger the eating around the house nonchalantly have dropped significantly. So that\u2019s good.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10822\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kristen-Piwetz-image5-683x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kristen-Piwetz-image5-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kristen-Piwetz-image5-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kristen-Piwetz-image5-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kristen-Piwetz-image5-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kristen-Piwetz-image5-129x194.jpeg 129w, https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kristen-Piwetz-image5.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>At first, Kristen wanted to get down to 155 pounds. She got there! And then set a new goal for 145. <\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI was able to continue eating on plan and having a free meal once in a while, or a free item once in a while, and doing my exercises six, seven days a week, and I was still dropping.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>She continued setting new goals and ended up losing about 100 pounds (WOW), Kristen recalls how she used to hate looking at herself in the mirror before starting the program. <\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI didn't like looking in the mirror. It affected my intimacy with my husband because I hated myself. I really was very discouraged by the fact that I continued to increase the sizes of my clothing. I was a size 18 going into a 20 pretty quickly.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>However, not just her body but her mindset also changed during her Fit Mother transformation. <\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was so motivating to get going. I started to see the changes and have more energy. I started to have a different mindset about things I saw that I could be really proactive for my own health. It was very empowering. Before, I just felt completely defeated. I really think that the biggest transformation for me even early on was a mental one because I started to really take responsibility for the fact that I had a lack of self-control and discipline in the way I eat.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>So, what would Kristen say to someone looking to join the Fit Mother Project?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe most important part is using the tools the Fit Mother Project gives us. Go back and read the meal plan. Go all the way from the beginning to the end. This process is meant to enable you to get fit and take care of yourself. A big part of doing this successfully is believing that it's not going to happen overnight. Be patient with yourself and gracious because it's hard work. Be courageous, take a breath and start and do as much as you can. And every day that you keep showing up and you keep doing it, you're going to start believing in yourself more. Also, become a part of the Fit Mother Project\u2019s Facebook community. For me, that community was a huge part of my success.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10821 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-08-28-at-2.04.42-PM-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"764\" height=\"585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-08-28-at-2.04.42-PM-1.png 764w, https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-08-28-at-2.04.42-PM-1-300x230.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-08-28-at-2.04.42-PM-1-253x194.png 253w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 764px) 100vw, 764px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>3 Key Takeaways From Kristen's Journey<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To summarize, here are three key lessons you can learn from Kristen\u2019s successful health and fitness journey:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Lesson 1: Hydration Is Extremely Vital for Energy & Consistency<\/h3>\n<p>Water not only removes toxins from your body and acts like fuel for your workout regime, but it also keeps you full.<\/p>\n<p>Begin your day with water. After all, seven to eight hours of recommended sleep during the night is a long period to go without any water consumption.<\/p>\n<h3>Lesson 2: Overcome Self-Destructive Behavior to Steer Positive Changes in Your Life<\/h3>\n<p>Self-destructive behaviors are never sustainable. You'll eventually need to turn it around, so you best start today..<\/p>\n<p>If you continue with the negative momentum in your life, it will spiral you deeper until you hit rock bottom, where the consequences become more severe.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Kristen hit the point in her life where she started hating her own body because of her weight and eating habits.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s when she knew she had to do something about it.<\/p>\n<p>But, once you generate positive momentum in your life and change it for the better, you\u2019ll become unstoppable.<\/p>\n<h3>Lesson 3: Start Your Health and Fitness Journey With Structure<\/h3>\n<p>When you start with structure, you can start to see results and energy in a proper direction.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>And then it becomes self-reinforcing in time.<\/li>\n<li>Consider your health and fitness goals.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure you\u2019re creating a balanced routine.<\/li>\n<li>Start slow and progress steadily.<\/li>\n<li>Build activity into your daily routine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Be flexible along the way!\u00a0 Because life happens, and it's far better to deviate a bit from your meal plan or workout regime than to give up entirely.<\/p>\n<p>AND&#8230; make sure to prioritize recovery! If you know you're doing too much and you're feeling burnt out, focus on REST and HEALTHY NUTRITION until your energy is back up.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10823\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10823\" style=\"width: 561px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10823\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kristen-Piwetz-image2-571x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"571\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kristen-Piwetz-image2-571x1024.jpeg 571w, https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kristen-Piwetz-image2-167x300.jpeg 167w, https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kristen-Piwetz-image2-768x1377.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kristen-Piwetz-image2-856x1536.jpeg 856w, https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kristen-Piwetz-image2-1142x2048.jpeg 1142w, https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kristen-Piwetz-image2-108x194.jpeg 108w, https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kristen-Piwetz-image2-scaled.jpeg 1427w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10823\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Congratulations Kristen!
