As a single mother raising her daughter alone, Juliana was terrified. She often felt helpless because she couldnāt turn to anyone for help.Ā
The personal trainerās career also halted abruptly due to her pregnancy. This was a drastic lifestyle change as all her time was devoted to caring for her baby daughter, with barely any āme timeā left for exercise.
āI didnāt have enough sleep and ate a lot of nonsense foodā, she says. Weāre sure a lot of mommies can relate!
Losing Her Slim Tummy
Standing at 1.64cm, she had a naturally small waistline of 24ā. But her pregnancy caused her waistline to shoot up by 6ā to 30ā.Ā
Her weight ballooned from 50kg to 70kgāthe heaviest sheās ever been.Ā

Delivering her daughter via Cesarean section (or C-section) also made it difficult for her to regain the slim and svelte tummy that she once had. Her self-esteem took a hit, just like any other motherās would.Ā
Reclaiming Her Pre-pregnancy Body

Yes, thatās Juliana today! This mamaās journey from flab to fit is far from easy. But before we go into detail about how she did it, she shares her inspiring results with us:Ā
ā Her waistline is down by 4ā from 30ā to 26ā. Sheās almost back to her original pre-pregnancy waistline!
ā Sheās burnt off 6kg and shredded her love handles off.Ā Ā
ā Her chronic back pains from her pregnancy are now gone.Ā
Tons of respect and love to her! So how did she manage such a feat?Ā
Her Secret to Losing Pregnancy Weight
Waist Training
Ā
Sheās been waist training since 2019 with a waist trainer that she got off Lazada. However, it was not effective because it ācaused backachesā and there were āno differences.āĀ
She discovered Waistlab a year later and has been waist training with us since March!Ā

She waist trains 5 days a week for about 9 to 10 hours a day. She wears it during her workouts and also at work.
āI must say your waist trainer worked wonders for me. My fats and love handles dropped so much.ā
No Such Thing as 'No Time'
Although she juggles between her full time job and mommy duties (like sending and fetching her daughter to and from school, cooking, and cleaning), her responsibilities havenāt stopped her from finding time to workout regularly.Ā
How regular? She exercises 4 to 5 times a week! Her workout routine consists of cycling, HIIT workouts and lifting weights.
Ā
She also eats in moderation thrice a day. Her go-to breakfast is oats with Greek yoghurt and blueberries.Ā
As for her usual meals, she mainly eats brown rice with lots of veggies and meat thatās either pan-fried or air-fried.Ā
Even Wonder Woman would be proud!Ā
Embrace Your Changing Body
Weāll end this post with some advice from Juliana to other mommies who are struggling to lose their baby fat:Ā
āEvery motherās body will change differently. But we must embrace this change in a positive way. Keeping yourself at least fit and active is the way to go long term. Itās never a short term thing. To our beautiful women out there: You are worth it!
Trust me, Iām tired and pooped. But willpower overpowers everything!"
