I'm so excited about a comment I got on an old blog post! Just thrilled! Lisa Druxman commented on my "Mama Wants Her Body Back Review" post! Do you know who that is? She's the woman who designed the diet and exercise program. She's the head of the company, this is her product! And she read my blog! Not only did she read what I wrote, but she took the time to type out a reply and muck through the secret word security thing to post the comment. I've been heard!
This is what she had to say:
I do hope you post this comment. This is Lisa Druxman, the founder of Mama Wants Her Body Back. Because you were part of a University Study, I cannot know if they gave you the actual program. But if they did, the real calories are much higher than that. The nutritionist's analysis was 1238 kcal/day for A choices, 1562 kcal/day for B choices and 2003 kcal/day for C choices. Since people will most likely eat a mixture of the choices, then their nutritional intake will fall somewhere between the A and the C (i.e. 1238 kcal/day to 2003 kcal/day). Our clients are having phenomenal results. My goal is to help moms get their bodies back but also to realize their unbelievable strength. I thank you for sharing this with your readers.
"Mama Wants Her Body Back" must be out on the market now because my blog has been hit hard with Google searchers looking for reviews on the product. There have been a few comments left behind, but not many at all compared to how many hits that one post has been getting. It has been hit multiple times a day for the last month or so.
I left out one important piece of information on my review that Lisa and other Google searchers who stumble upon my blog won't know from reading that single post. My usual audience of readers know me well, and so I don't mention it all the time. The fact is, I'm a breastfeeding mama. This made a huge difference in the way the diet worked, or rather didn't work, for me.
My baby is 20 months old now and I'm still nursing her every three to four hours, all day and night. At the time that I did the diet study, my baby was 13 months old. I didn't feel that the diet made any allowance for breastfeeding, especially since the people running the study never asked me if I was nursing. They asked a ton of other questions, but that was never one of them. And there wasn't any information in the materials provided that addressed breastfeeding. So, I was left to guess how to compensate for the extra calories I needed to maintain a milk supply. I am not a nutritionist nor am I a lactation consultant nor any other type of credentialed diet or lactation specialist. I'm just a 44 yr old breastfeeding mom carrying around too much weight around my middle. Breastfeeding doesn't bode well with dieting; however, breastfeeding and making healthy eating choices do go well together. I wouldn't say that eating a pan of brownies is a healthy choice. Guilty!
To those of you purchasing the program, best of luck to you and stay away from the brownies! I'll join you after I quit nursing and I can better focus on just me.
Diet and exercise aside, there's just something amazing knowing that my opinion was heard. My little nonsensical blog that I just write mostly for myself stood on top of the Google search engine and said "Hey!" My voice via blog post is resonating and Lisa Druxman listened! Amazing and Exciting!

Good to know that people do listen. Seriously, the best way to lose weight is watch your eating and exercise. I finally gave up on any diet plan on the market and went back to old fashioned common sense. I also found that it is so much easier when your children are grown and out of the house.
That is cool! Yep, eating right & exercising. Which is almost impossible to do with little ones. I've lost weight on "diet plans" here & there while the kids were little, but I always gained it back & then some after I stop starving myself or eating some crazy diet plan. Everything in moderation, and exercise. I'm working on this version of Mama getting her body back. You need muscles to burn fat and you need food (fuel) to make the machine (your body) run.
GOOD FOR YOU! 20 months of breast feeding! I nursed my daughter until she was 3-1/2 years old and have no regrets (only blissful memories). She is 16 years old now and a joy. Thank you for your thoughtful reviews.
Just purchased the mama wants her body back& it's on back order, very excited to start! I'm 35, have 13 year old, 11 year old & 2 1/2 year old that I'm still nursing. I'm 4ft 11 in & weigh 136 lbs, since I'm so short, any weight over 120 makes me look overweight. I love to walk & eat well, but after my last baby, not able to loose the weight, also nursed my older girls til they were 2....
