Featured Guest
Cassandra (Fit Mom Testimonial): "Before joining Fit Moms, I was in a constant struggle with food. I felt like food had control over my life. I was always thinking about it and using it to escape reality. I haven't always been this way and was very active, but life got to me. I went through some challenging times, and food was my go-to. I noticed my health was beginning to take a hit, and I wasn't able to find things that fit any longer. Life just felt like an endless spiral with no end in sight when it came to my health. One day, I found a random email in my inbox: Fit Moms. I don't know how it got there, but it was like God had heard my cry for help. I can now focus on getting healthier without the condemnation of missing the mark at times. I can now say that the number of gas station trips has decreased, and my journey has become much brighter."
