Six months after the birth of her daughter and only 20 weeks after starting on Jenny Craig, Mel has lost an impressive 15 kilos reaching her goal weight of 60kg.

Mel’s ‘Spice Girl bod’ is testament that with Jenny’s helping hand, being a yummy mummy is possible for any woman who wants to lose her baby weight.

“My body is not only back to the shape it used to be, I actually feel better than before because I know I have earned it; it’s not something I just woke up to and BAM – there it was. I’ve been pregnant and exhausted with my work and had next to no sleep looking after my gorgeous baby, but Jenny has allowed me to look after myself. Being my third pregnancy and in my 30’s it was much easier to gain weight this time round! I was not looking forward to the chore of losing the weight at all. Jenny has not only been a helping hand, it’s been my saviour!” Mel said.

For Mel, it was Jenny’s unique support system with her individual coach and tailored eating plans that really made the difference. Mel experienced the same program that everyday clients go through.

“The weekly check-ins with my consultant kept me on track; we became ‘besties’! And the food was delicious; you get to eat fish and chips, chicken fettuccine and chicken parmigiana!

“Thanks to Jenny, I can easily slide into my old jeans – the ones my 13 year old daughter Phoenix has been ‘borrowing’ for the past 15 months! My husband Stephen is beyond excited, he’s loving my new body and has showered me with sexy lingerie. Girls, if you’ve got it, flaunt it to the man you love – don’t lose the fun - lose the weight!


Getting back to her pre-baby body is more than just fitting into a smoking hot pair of jeans, for Mel it’s having the energy to attack her busy work schedule, which is packed in 2012.

I carried a lot of weight when I was pregnant - I was eating for England! Carrying this extra weight was draining on my energy levels, I didn't want to work out at all when I was pregnant, I felt sick in the beginning then I just gained too much weight to even want to work out. Now I’ve lost the weight, I feel like I can take on the world. My energy levels have skyrocketed and my brain is firing on all cylinders. I feel I can now be the best mum possible.”

Amy Smith, Managing Director of Jenny Craig Australia and New Zealand, always knew Mel would smash her goal.

What a woman! Really, she is an inspiration. The last six months have been blur for this busy mum. A newborn baby, the pressure of working on a major television show and constantly jetting between two countries. The Jenny program is unique because it effortlessly dovetails into a busy woman’s schedule; Jenny takes the guesswork out of the picture. All your meals are planned for you and the consultant will be your guide to ensure you always stay on track. If Jenny can fit into the schedule of Mel’s life, it can fit into anyone’s.” Amy said.
