"I've been doing your challenges since May 2019, & I'm still always learning new things, & never get bored with the workouts! I learned how much I can accomplish when I stay consistent, & stop all the excuses. This thought process really helped shift my mindset to stay the course. And sure enough week 3 I started seeing progress. Even more than the scale I feel stronger!! How I've felt has been my biggest motivation. Love getting stronger, & getting through the workouts. I've actually connected to my why, & I'll never let that go!"

"After having twins, I just couldn't picture myself ever having the energy or motivation to get back into shape. Motivation will likely NEVER be there because exercising is hard. Eating right is HARD. Our minds naturally want to take the easy route. The key is to just start! Do something, do anything and be proud that you did it. Move forward when you have disappointing days. This month helped kick start a journey back to being strong physically, but also being strong mentally. I can do hard things!"

"My husband took a job two hours away and I became a single mom over night. Being on my own meant I didn't have him to watch the girls, so I either had to wake up way before my twin toddlers or try and workout with them awake. Being a good example to my three daughters of a positive body image, getting stronger, mentally being able to do hard things and eating healthy foods to help our bodies be strong was the biggest reward. The energy I have now to keep up with three busy girls is incredible. I look forward to continuing with the workouts!!"

"I have been doing your workouts and challenges for over two years now... This challenge I promised myself I wouldn't let anything get in the way of being fully committed. I meal prepped and planned meals for all three of my meals each day, for all nine days and took them with me. I stuck to my macros while on vacation and didn't let it be an excuse!... I can promise myself something and stick to it! I can trust myself. It's amazing the mental growth I've had this month... I don't even care about the weight, it's coming off. I'm more excited that I stuck to a goal."

"This challenge not only made me recognize how strong I am physically in my postpartum body, but it made me recognize my individual worth outside of being a mom. This month I learned that I'm capable of doing more and lifting more than I thought I could. I can set aside an hour or so a day for myself to workout, read a book, go for a walk, or write in a journal. It made me want to do more for myself and not feel guilty about it."

"My gym has recently changed their kid care policy so that I am no longer able to bring my two younger kids to the gym because they are not old enough. So I now have to workout at home. I never thought I would get as good of a workout in and be able to lose weight. There were days that I didn't want to get up early to get a workout in before my kids got up but I knew that if I didn't I would have to workout with my kids up and would most likely make up an excuse for not getting it done. I have more work to do... my journey is not quite over yet, well actually it will never be over, but I'm excited to keep doing your workouts on the app to help get my body to where I want it to be!"

"This challenge has helped me have a better relationship with food. Additionally, I have loved the focus on mental health. Before when I tried to lose weight, I would either focus on having a big deficit of calories which wasn't sustainable, or I would just try to eat healthy meals, but my portion sizes were too big so I didn't see any results. The MAMELE app helped calculate my custom macros and provided resources to help me, who was brand new to macros, learn how to get started. I'm so grateful for the MAMELE team for teaching me so much in the past month! You've helped me more than you know!"

"This challenge helped me find more people that I have come to love like sisters. We talk, we laugh, and we cry with one another. This community is like none other. I needed them. This challenge has taught me that everyone is truly going through something hard. I learned that no matter how busy life gets, that taking care of yourself needs to be a priority. I learned that feeling the Sun on your face and sweat on your back can ground you after almost any rough patch... I am enough and will continue to be no matter where I am in my journey. This community, the workouts, the nutrition... It's life changing, truly. I am a better person because of this beautiful journey with the Mamele community who are all more like family now."

"In a nut shell I've always struggled with my weight and have always had a really bad relationship with food. I found Andrea's program and started with her. This is now my 4th challenge and I would say the biggest thing I did different this time around was I really strived to work on my mental state first... I won't be perfect & that is okay but I will keep starting each day a new day & do my best each day. Consistency is key! Consistency = Results"

"I learned so much in this challenge! This helped me in so many ways. When I started this challenge I felt a little lost. This challenge helped me focus and reboot my life. I feel I am better focused on life. It's a mindset, it's eating proper proportions, and mental health! I also learned that guilt does not help in anyway. If you've messed up, your next choice can be a restart."

Brytan Gubler
Mamele member

"I went into this challenge with the mindset that I can do anything for 30 days. There were definitely days that I didn't feel like tracking and it took some major convincing to get out of bed, and actually start working out. I wanted to prove to myself, more than anyone, that I could keep the promises I made to myself. But I did it!! I tracked for 30 days. I did the workouts. This month taught me that I am capable of hard things. It also gave me the motivation to keep going! I have other goals I want to achieve. Thank you sooo much for the mindset shift along with the physical changes!!"

Ellary Hendrickson

"The challenge was definitely a challenge for me! I wasn't perfect by any means. I missed a couple of workouts, I modified like crazy on several and am still figuring out how to get enough protein in to hit my macros! I have learned the most about the success that has come from consistency... I am so grateful for the healthier way I am thinking and treating myself!"

Jessica Wayman
Mamele member

"I started doing Andrea's workouts when COVID hit. For me, it felt like the right time to start feeling better and those who had done her program up to that point had found so much success, and I was ready. Throughout the challenge this last month, I gained more confidence in my self-image and in my eating. I gained a better idea of what it means to be healthy, both inside and outside. I gained trust in the process and that it takes more than eating a piece of celery and lettuce to lose weight. During this last month I may have not lost on the scale, but I have gained more than I ever thought possible."

"This challenge helped me gain the confidence I need to keep motivation going through the hard days! Seeing small results make it all worth it! I learned that no matter the situation, there is always time to make time for yourself. We went out of town every weekend plus a week in Mexico and I learned that you can make the time for yourself no matter where you are. You can CHOOSE to live a healthier lifestyle no matter the circumstance and it feels amazing!"

Amanda Gibson
Mamele member

"I have learned that I can trust myself. Every day of this challenge, I have shown up for myself. I have set goals, and put in the work to achieve them. I learned the value of self-reflection, and how to properly push through disappointment. I have learned how to be a rocketship, and do the hard things, especially on the days that it feels impossible. This challenge has helped me to be the best version of myself that I am capable of being. It has helped me to not only value, but enjoy a healthy lifestyle."

"Regardless of where we are in our lives, old or young, over weight or in shape, wealthy or poverty stricken, we all have room to improve. If we set goals and strive for those goals, we can over come any obstacle that comes in our way through hard work and dedication. I have 3 young boys ranging from ages 4 years old to 9 months old. I came up with every excuse of how I was going to tell my sister that I just simply could not participate, but when I saw the excitement in my sisters eyes I thought okay, I am going to try! I am extremely grateful I did! You have inspired me to not only work hard on being physically fit, but to strive always to be the best me as a mother, wife, and a friend!"

Candace Bergren

"After the holidays I found myself really struggling with having any desire or motivation to exercise. This challenged freed me, and helped me re-discover my passion for improving my health and bettering my state of mind. The personal coaching, encouragement and interaction with Andrea was inspiring! The atmosphere of the group was incredible and helped keep me excited, driven, and motivated to succeed. Because of Andrea and the Mamele team, I have learned to trust myself again. I now know, that I am stronger than I ever thought. I am no longer restricted by a fear of failure. Rather, I am excited by the prospect of success!"

Kim Taylor
Mamele member

"I LOVE THIS PROGRAM and I'm not done here. Andrea is so encouraging. I love that she gives motivation in every area of my life! Even simple things like checking something off my to do list! I love that I was forced to let go of my negative self talk, even if just for a week. It's encouraged me to continue to set that as a goal until it becomes a habit. I've learned to look at exercise as a gift that I can give myself. I'm becoming more and more confident in my own body and not only for what it looks like! Most importantly, for me, I've been given mental clarity. I so appreciate the community for keeping me in check and encouraging me on my hard days and congratulating me on my small victories along the way!"

"Mamele's recipes have changed the way I fuel my body and they have given me extra tools to succeed in my goals... I've jumped in with both feet and I'm seeing my muscles grow and define. I'm seeing fat slowly melt away. I'm stronger, I have increased endurance, I'm less swayed by disappointment and discouragement and that's HUGE for me!"

"As I went through this challenge, I was interested to see how I would keep up while in my third trimester of my 2nd pregnancy. I learned that my body is AMAZING. It can grow a human AND lift weights. It can walk 10,000 steps a day AND tell me when it needs a break. I really focused on listening to my body and discovered that I could push myself more than I thought. At the end of the challenge, I realize that I don't care what my measurements or weight are. Instead, I care that I'm currently feeling so accomplished and proud to make such good choices for my body. When I really dial into the way I'm working out and eating, I can hear my body's needs better and that's what makes it all worth it."

Sienna Forsyth
Mamele member · third trimester

"I started the challenge two months postpartum with my second after completing the back from baby guide. I learned that I don't need to be perfect, just consistent... I love how Andrea continually gives us tools to use to help us on our journey and change our entire mindset with fitness and nutrition. I learned that I can do hard things! Confidence isn't the absence of self doubt. It's being willing to try even though you doubt yourself. I am excited now to do things that scare me a little and that I don't feel confident with. Whether that's lifting with a barbell, taking on a calling I don't feel qualified for, signing up for the MAMELE mountains race next year... I'm ready to try!"

Kailey Foster
Mamele member · 2 months postpartum

"I've seen results, and this challenge has worked too well for me to only do it for a month. I am in awe of my mindset shift. I've never prioritized tasks or goals like I have this month. I've proven to myself over and over again that I CAN make time for the things that I seek to accomplish. One of my biggest takeaways is 'something is better than nothing.' Telling myself 'something is better than nothing' (sometimes multiple times a day) keeps a positive mindset in focus and keeps my negative self talk at bay. Thank you so much for giving me the tools I need to succeed. I can't stop now!"

Kaili Orchard

"I have had multiple goals that have been on my list for years! This month I was able to achieve SO many! This challenge gave me a push that I needed. Adding small habits and building on that allowed me to see what I am capable of. I never have given myself enough credit and give up before I even start. Moving forward, I am able to actively see the good and joy in things that before seemed too heavy. Saying yes to myself but also to my kids more. It's okay for something to be hard but there are small joys within the hard!"

Lexi Junion
Mamele member

"I signed up on a whim & it wasn't until day 1 that I really decided to commit. I'm so grateful I did. I'm grateful for the resources given. I cannot say enough good things about this challenge. I have developed healthier eating habits and a lot more self control now that I have a greater understanding of nutrition. I learned that I can do hard things and when I take time to do these things I'm an all around better person. I'm so grateful to this Mamele team. You guys are amazing. I've truly found myself again."

Katie Riding
Mamele member

"I dealt with PPD after the birth of both my daughters. With the theme of mental health, I approached this month's challenge differently than I have in the previous two challenges I have participated in... Instead of telling myself I couldn't do it before I even started, I pushed myself to failure and then I modified when needed. I surprised myself every workout with how much stronger I was than I gave myself credit for. It helps me gain confidence in myself and helps me trust myself because I am proving to myself that I can do hard things!"

Caroline Truman
Mamele member

"How didn't this challenge help me! I received motivation, encouraging words, new friends, greater confidence. And a knowledge that I am enough! This community is unlike anything I've been a part of! It's so genuine and inspiring! They told me exactly what I needed! I am loved, I am needed, I am wanted, I am strong! I didn't think I had really lost many inches or that my body had changed much, but looking at my pictures and the inches lost, I see just how much I have lost and defined my body. It's so motivating to keep it all up!"
