What is your name and what town are you from?

Stacy Lim from Newark, CA

Who makes up your family?
My husband Paul and my daughters Lyla (3) and Kylie (1)

Briefly, tell us your struggles.  
It was a struggle to find the time to workout with little ones while working full time. I knew there had to be a way to be a great mom and be healthy.

What was the turning point that made you change the way you care for yourself?
The turning point for me was when moms kept asking me how I lost the baby weight. We all had very similar struggles and that was when I realized I could make a difference. 

What actions did you take to become healthier?
After having my first daughter, Lyla, I decided to make a career change and open up SLIM Fitness, a place where moms and dads can workout side by side with their little ones. It has been two years and I am happy to say I am healthier than I have ever been. It has been great to go on this journey with so many healthy and happy moms, dads and kids.

How have you implemented (or plan to) your new habits with your family?
My two daughters are with me each day at the studio. They see mommy working out and being active. My oldest daughter can now lead me through an hour-long workout and make sure that I get a die hard workout. It is a priceless moment when I have both my girls with me at my side and we are all doing push ups. it is absolutely a dream come true! A healthy, happy mom is healthy, happy kids!
