She lost her baby weight—and discovered a whole-new strength.
“Morning Meltdown 100 brought me back to life—a better version of me that I never could have imagined! I not only lost 28 inches, I learned how capable I was—and that even after having 3 kiddos, I could still be a badass!”

After a difficult C-section, 31-year-old mom of three Lauren F. was struggling. She thought she would never get back her pre-baby body—or her abilities.
“My C-section pooch has been a sore spot for me. It's an area I have been super self-conscious about,” Lauren admitted.
Mentally, she began crossing off things she felt she’d never be able to do again, like high-impact workouts and jumping.
But then, she discovered the fitness program Morning Meltdown 100, led by trainer Jericho McMatthews on BODi.
“I went into this program hoping to continue my postpartum weight-loss journey, and my results surpassed anything I could have imagined. I not only lost 28 inches, I learned how capable I was—and that even after having 3 kiddos, I could still be a badass!”
With her first two children, Lauren had suffered from postpartum depression. So, when she gave birth to her third, she feared history would repeat itself.
"There were so many triggers around me. It almost felt like the walls were closing in and I would be heading back into that dark place,” she recalls.
This time, however, she was determined to write a different story.
Enter Morning Meltdown 100: 100 days of workouts for 20-30 minutes each day. For a mother of three recovering from a C-section, it seemed daunting. She didn’t know if she could do it, but she wanted to try.‡
With Jericho’s high-energy workouts, her upbeat personality, and a live DJ, the program gave her the motivation and drive she needed.
"Morning Meltdown 100 brought me back to life—only a better version of me that I never could have imagined," Lauren says, her voice filled with pride.
The journey wasn't easy. The idea of jumping and performing high-intensity movements after a C-section seemed unthinkable at first. But under Jericho's guidance, Lauren found herself attempting—and mastering—exercises she thought impossible.
"So many times during the journey I thought I couldn't go any farther, go any longer, do anymore—and then I'd end up surprising myself," she says.
One of her secret weapons: Beachbody Performance Energize, a preworkout supplement designed to help you get the results you want, faster.
"I can't imagine doing these workouts without [Energize], because it helped me lose my excuses. Once you drink your Energize, you are committed to showing up to workout,” she says. “It helps me get those extra reps when I don't think I can do any more. Then I whip out another!”
Beyond the impressive 28 inches she lost, Lauren discovered a strength she never knew she possessed. The program became more than a workout routine; it evolved into a daily reminder of her capabilities.
"There was a part of me that felt like I was never going to have nice abs again after having my 3 kids—and I proved myself wrong," she beams.
Nutrition played just as big a role in her success as fitness did. Lauren knew that she couldn’t build the healthy body or life she wanted without also focusing on her diet. Her plan of choice: 2B Mindset.
An eating plan developed by registered dietician Ilana Muhlstein, MS, RDN, 2B Mindset allowed Lauren to eat big, satisfying meals, and still lose weight. It’s how Ilana stopped her own cycle of dieting and lost 100 lbs. for good.
“[2B Mindset] allowed me to travel, eat out, and go to events without stressing over being deprived, which helped me from binging,” says Lauren.
With no off-limit foods, she could still enjoy her favourite treats. Because 2B Mindset felt like a healthy lifestyle rather than a diet, it became a program that Lauren would embrace long-term.
Superfood shake Shakeology was her ride-or-die for daily nutrition on the go. “I love that Shakeology is so versatile. You can enjoy it so many ways with different recipes and know that you are getting nutrients and won't feel hungry,” explains Lauren. She never did preschool drop-off without it.
As Lauren showed up for herself day after day, she noticed her entire mindset shifting. The threatening clouds of post-partum depression began to lift, replaced by a sense of purpose and presence.
"When I make myself a priority in my life, I'm a better wife and a better mom...and a better friend and, just, person," she reflects. "I'm more intentional with my day. My entire mindset is totally different now, and I'm finally feeling more present."
For Lauren, one of the most surprising outcomes has been her newfound confidence. "It's the first time in my life I'm actually excited to put my progress photos out there...of me... in a bikini," she says, still seeming amazed by her own transformation.
As she completed her final workout, Lauren found herself emotional. "Heading into workout 100, I honestly just can't believe that I've shown up for myself," she says. It marks the first time she committed to anything for 100 consecutive days.
But rather than an ending, day 100 became a new beginning. "I'm excited to make this challenge 200-, 300-plus days," Lauren says.
She hopes her journey can be an inspiration to other post-partum mothers facing similar struggles. "I just can't wait for people to see what they are able to achieve through committing that short window of time to themselves."
Lauren's story proves that Morning Meltdown 100 is more than just a fitness program—it's a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
As she puts it, "It's not about being perfect for 100 days, it's about showing up for yourself 100 times and learning along the way how to live your version of what 100 means to you."
For Lauren, it meant becoming a stronger, happier, and more confident mother who finally believes in herself.
"I know that it's changed my life," she says simply. "I did it!"
