Community Highlights: Meet Fit Foodie Chicks

Today we’d like to introduce you to Fit Foodie Chicks.

Thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
We are 2 busy moms who LOVE to eat, but also try to stay as fit as we can, while still enjoying our crazy, busy lives and not depriving ourselves of the treats we love! We have fun teaching group fitness classes together and both love coffee, wine and chocolate! Kristin has a passion for cooking and Jackie is the self-proclaimed “dummy in the kitchen”, but we are both true foodies and have been known to plan entire vacations around the cuisine of the region. We have been great friends for over a decade and have over 40 years of combined experience as health and fitness professionals. Jackie is a certified sports nutritionist, personal trainer, former gym owner, and holds a B.S. in Exercise Science. Kristin is a certified advanced group fitness trainer with Les Mills International, a former gym manager and a professional bikini competitor with the Organization of Competitive Bodybuilders. Together, we share our knowledge and experience to help others achieve their goals.

We both grew up in midwestern, Italian families, where just about every gathering revolved around food and eating! These memories we have with our relatives are such happy ones, but over the years we have struggled with somewhat of a dysfunctional relationship with food, and what seemed like the never-ending cycle of yo-yo “dieting”. This has led us to a constant struggle between being able to continue those nostalgic connections between food and family traditions, while simultaneously wanting to break the cycle of chronic dieting and pass on better habits to the next generation. When we discovered a simplified way to eat, without depriving ourselves of all the foods we love AND finally achieved sustainable results, we knew we had to share it with the world. With Fit Foodie Chicks recipes, macro coaching and Workouts, we have created a comprehensive plan for anyone wishing to do the same.

We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
We have seen so much growth in our one year in business and it has been better than we could have ever hoped for. We were both able to retire from other jobs and commit to working full-time on Fit Foodie Chicks, so that has been a wonderful adjustment. So far, our biggest obstacle is being able to manage 3 separate products and services within the limited capabilities of our rudimentary website. We are fitness and nutrition coaches, NOT computer programmers! We have had some great mentors and help from friends and have been able to teach ourselves by trial and error how to make it work for us!

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
It is our mission at Fit Foodie Chicks to provide busy people with meal plan recipes, online coaching and a convenient workout app to finally reach their weight loss goals once and for all, with a simplified approach proven to save time, money and stress, while never again feeling deprived of the foods they love to eat.

We absolutely love hearing how our recipes bring families together. No more making separate meals for the family when you are “dieting”. Everyone eats the same thing and the best part is, everyone loves the food!

We want people to remember the impact we have had, not only on their health, but on their overall quality of life. We aim to help people reduce stress, save time and money, bring families together and help people enjoy food without guilt so that they can live in a body they are confident in and still enjoy life!

Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
Keep it simple! When you try and do too many new things all at once, your failure rate will grow exponentially! Take small, simple steps towards your goals and stay committed to them every day.
