The January 2021 theme for the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge is NO EXCUSES. By spending just a little bit of time getting organised with your meal plan, preparing meals and snacks ready to go for the following week means there are:-

  • NO EXCUSES for skipping meals
  • NO EXCUSES for reaching for unhealthy snacks
  • NO EXCUSES for grabbing a takeaway

Kaitie spent a few hours in the kitchen and managed to whip up a huge variety from week 1 January 28 Day  Weight Loss Challenge  Meal Plan (following the budget and time saver plan).

If you are new to the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge, Kaitie has some great tips for meal prepping and for how to get started!

Kaitie’s Tips for getting started on the 28 Day Challenge

1. Repeat meals and snacks “this saves time and money. When starting out it can feel overwhelming. There is nothing wrong with eating the same snack 5 times a week. Do what works for you!”

2. Customise your plan  – “suit you and your family, search the 4000+ recipes in the hub for foods you love made healthier!”

3. Preparation is key. “Wash and chop fruits and vegetables, bake a double batch of muffins or banana bread for the freezer while waiting for dinner to cook, make extra serves of meals to store in the freezer. Every single little bit helps!”

4. Check your pantry, fridge and freezer

“Do a stock take to see what you already have and try and incorporate items you have into your meal plan to save money and reduce wastage.”

5. Make your meal plan simple!!!

“I love choosing recipes with similar ingredients, this saves on time preparing and helps keep my grocery bill down.”

6. Track your progress!

“Take photos, lots of photos. Even if you don’t like them now it’s so important to be able to look back and see your progress.

Take measurements and weigh in weekly or fortnightly (not daily!). Don’t let the scales be the be all and end all, they can be misleading at times of muscle growth, water weight, a certain time of the month or you simply may need to go to the toilet.”

7.Drink Water!

“I love lemon or fruit in mine, having lemon chopped in the fridge or freezer means it’s EASY to add, I also recommended having a water bottle with you at all times to sip on during the day. Water, mineral water, soda water & herbal tea all count towards your daily water intake.”

8. Move when you can!


“Being a mum means our lives are always busy, you need to do what you can when you can. The 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge exercises are made to be quick and effective, my kids love getting involved!”

“Go for walk if you can, take the stairs, do 10 squats each time you need to go the bathroom. Move your body every chance you get, it all adds up!”

9.Add extra things you eat to your meal plan! “The Healthy Mummy app has an incredible scanner feature to make it so easy for you to add the extras you eat or drink. If you have two cafe brought cappuccinos a day that’s over 500 calories! You might be over eating by adding mayonnaise to everything or snacking on that extra banana or drinking a can of coke a day. All calories count, it’s best to add them all to your app to keep track of what you are really eating.”

10. Be patient, be consistent and be kind to yourself!

“Results take time, consistency leads to results, trust the process and be kind to yourself. If you slip up, own it and move on.

Start each day with a clean slate and learn to love your own incredible journey. Don’t compare yourself or your journey with others! You are capable of incredible things!”
