In the world of health and fitness, quick fixes and overnight transformations often grab the headlines. But for 41-year-old Jess Beams, a mum of two, the path to wellness has been a seven-year journey of persistence, learning, and personal growth. Her story with The Healthy Mummy program is one of long-term commitment, real-life challenges, and ultimately, inspiring success.
A Journey of Ups and Downs
Jess’s journey began when she weighed 95kg. “Initially it took two years,” she shares, describing her weight loss process. But like many, Jess faced setbacks. “Then I put some back on due to life etc,” she admits candidly. However, her recent progress shows her unwavering determination: “I’ve recently lost 6.5kg since February with 5 to go.”
This honest account of her journey resonates with so many of us who understand that the path to health isn’t always linear. Currently weighing 79kg, Jess embodies the idea that consistency and perseverance are key to long-term success.
“It’s what you do MOST of the time that makes a difference. If you slip up, learn from it and remember tomorrow is a new day.”
The Healthy Mummy Lifestyle
When asked about her favourite part of The Healthy Mummy program, Jess doesn’t hesitate: “Definitely the meal plans.” Her top five recipes showcase the variety and appeal of the program’s offerings:
A typical day for Jess is a testament to balanced, enjoyable eating. “Smoothie or overnight oats/Weetabix for breakfast, normally leftovers for lunch, or a wrap or salad, a healthy mummy dinner,” she describes. For snacks, she enjoys “fruit and yoghurt, the healthy mummy dips, especially the hummus, or a sweet treat like caramilk Weetbix slice or caramel oat slice.”
Fitness Made Simple
The Healthy Mummy’s approach to exercise has been a perfect fit for Jess’s busy lifestyle. “Definitely the HIIT ones as they are so good when I’m short on time,” she says of her favourite workouts. “If I have more time I like the body weight and the no equipment ones as they are so easy to do at home.”
Family-Friendly Lifestyle Change
One of the most significant impacts of Jess’s health journey has been on her family life. “It’s helped make mealtimes easy. The kids and hubby love the healthy mummy meals, you never feel like you are missing out,” she explains. The benefits extend beyond just nutrition: “I also have more energy and more time as I prep a lot during term holidays so evenings and mornings are a lot less stressful.”
Wisdom for the Journey
For mums considering starting their own health and weight loss journey, Jess offers three valuable tips:
- “Small steps – pick one thing to change at a time and when that becomes a habit, add something else”
- “Keep it simple – start with simple 10 minute workouts and repeat your snacks and breakfasts”
- “It’s what you do MOST of the time that makes a difference. If you slip up, learn from it and remember tomorrow is a new day.”
Beyond the Scale
While the numbers on the scale have changed dramatically for Jess, her most prized achievement isn’t measured in kilograms. “I have gotten so much confidence back,” she shares proudly. “I went to Bali and happily wore my bathers without board shorts and a swim top over the top of them!”
When motivation wanes, Jess has a go-to strategy: “Go straight to the healthy mummy Facebook support group. The ladies are amazing and I love reading other’s stories. That is what gets me going again!”
A Sustainable Approach
Jess’s favourite Healthy Mummy product encapsulates the program’s approach to sustainable health. “Smoothies!” she enthuses. “They are quick and delicious, plus I know I’m getting my daily nutrients. There are so many different combinations and amazing recipes too. I never get bored.”
Jess Beams’ story is a powerful reminder that true health and wellness is a journey, not a destination. Through The Healthy Mummy program, she’s found a way to not only transform her body, but also to enhance her family life, boost her confidence, and create lasting habits. Her seven-year journey stands as an inspiring testament to the power of persistence, community support, and a holistic approach to health.
