Find out how this full-time mom made an amazing transformation that helped her believe in herself.

If you have children and a family, you know how challenging it can be to maintain your weight-loss plan with your busy day. For Allison Abbott, a full-time mom, it was no different. “Having a new daughter in my life has changed my outlook on everything,” Allison said. “I have a lot less time for myself and a lot less time to exercise. I don't have the luxury of being able to just drop everything and run to the gym.” Starting and raising a family can be very time-consuming, often requiring a readjustment in priorities, leaving little time for fitness.

For Allison, making the transition from being single to raising a family took some time to adjust to. And prior to starting her transformation, her busy schedule left her little time for her fitness plan, causing her to gain weight.

Allison and her husband Jim motivated one another to stay on top of their weight-loss goals. As she started her transformation, Allison needed to adjust a few things in her life. She began finding time in her day to fit in exercise, even if it meant simply bringing her daughter for a midday walk. Allison also altered her eating habits. Previously, her portion sizes were too big. “My eating habits were horrible,” says Allison. “My portion sizes were huge and I was only eating a couple times a day.” Luckily, Allison didn't have to make these adjustments alone; with her husband Jim also trying to lose weight, they made their weight-loss transformation a team effort. “Jim and I would leave our daughter Ashley with my mom and we would go work out together,” Allison says. “We would also cook our food together and we did a lot of walking together, which was great.”

With Hydroxycut^® in her fitness plan, Allison lost 26 pounds and 8 inches from her waist in 17 weeks! Allison no longer has to live in her sweatpants because she now has the confidence to wear the clothes she couldn't previously. “My self-esteem went up a lot after my transformation.”

For Allison, losing the weight was just part of the process of improving her image and self-confidence. She believes that her transformation has changed her overall lifestyle habits. “I think once you lose the weight, it's easier to keep it off,” says Allison. “You understand your body and you know how to exercise and eat properly. It's just a change in lifestyle more than anything.”

Losing weight with the help of Hydroxycut ^® didn't just reshape Allison's body - it also changed her life. “My day-to-day life has changed quite a bit since the end of my transformation,” Allison says. “I have a lot more energy, which I need with a young child in the family. I definitely feel a lot
more confident.”
