Hi, this is Katy one of Dustin's blog contributors. This time of year always gets me thinking about what I am thankful for, and this year I am most thankful for my new, healthy lifestyle. Dustin did a blog post on my weight loss awhile back, but I didn't go into detail on my struggle with the dreaded baby fat. One year ago today, I delivered my 3rd child and was itching to change my life. … [Read more...]
Enough Of The Self Sabotage!
This is Tracy, one of Dustin's guest bloggers! So many times in my weight loss journey I have convinced myself that I would never be successful at something, so why even try. Sounds like self sabotage, I know. I am really trying to work on that. And, this week I accomplished something that I had fully convinced myself was not possible. I QUIT drinking Diet Coke….. To some reading this, … [Read more...]
Starting My Journey Again….With Your Help This Time!
This is Tracy, one of the guest blogger's for www.dustinmaher.com I actually asked Dustin if I could be a blogger, hoping it will help me with my accountability. Because to be honest, that is where I fall short in this whole weight loss journey every time. I have done Weight Watchers, and done well. As soon as I quit going, boom, it all comes back. Same with other things I have tried. So, … [Read more...]
A Healthier and Happier You!
Hi this is Liz, one of Dustin's new contributors. I figure my first post should be about how I got to where I am in my fitness and nutritional life. In high school I was very active and ran on the track and cross country teams. I was by no means very good, I think I participated more for the camaraderie than because I was passionate about it. I loved hiking and being active outside on the … [Read more...]
Eating Better on a Budget
This post is written by Katy Smith who is a contributor to the blog. For many years, I never read a food label. I didn't really care what I was eating, as long as it tasted good. When I started MamaTone nearly a year ago, I started Weight Watchers and began reading the nutritional information (mainly to discover how many points each item was.) Then I attended Tracie Hittman's nutrition talk … [Read more...]
Discover How Aimee Lost 25 lbs
Get ready to laugh as my MamaToner Aimee writes about her 25 lb weight loss journey. She is one of the most sarcastic and funny people I know. I take pride in my ability to read people after only 30 seconds to a minute. My initial thoughts about Aimee was that she was miserable, hated me, hated the program, and hated life. She was so negative that I thought she was joking, but I don't … [Read more...]
Exercising During Pregnancy
Today I have a special guest write named Alecia. She was recently on CBS news with me showing some great lower body exercises. What impressed me most about Alecia was how hard she continued to work throughout her pregnancy as well as soon after she delivered the baby. At this point I need to say that I am not a doctor and you should check with your doctor to make sure you are cleared to … [Read more...]

I am super excited to share a story with you of one of my many success stories so far from the Fit Moms For Life DVDs. Her name is Karen, and she has been so transformed (not only outwardly), that she has quit her corporate America job and has begun an internship program with me and is taking a personal training certification to help transform the lives of so many, similarly to how she has been … [Read more...]
Weight Loss Workouts For Moms
The reason I do what I do, is to give moms back their self confidence (if they lost it), reshape their bodies, and increase their energy, to help them make it through the daily grind of life and kids. The amount of responsibility that moms have on a daily basis can seem overwhelming, and combine that with a poor diet, lack of exercise, and lack of sleep, you can see why so many moms are … [Read more...]
Inside Look at MamaTone and Small Group Training
A couple days ago I showed you the video of Abby and I on CBS news demonstrating our new fat burning tool, the resistance bands. Today I would like to take that a step further and show you inside a workout that the resistance band expert, Dave Schmitz took my MamaTone and small group personal training clients through. Not only was it very intense, but also something fun and different! These … [Read more...]
