Tracey Mallett has become an International Fitness Icon to millions of moms and working women across the world. During and after Tracey's first pregnancy, she gained over 55 pounds causing her to place her then current career on an indefinite hold due to a complete lack of confidence in herself and her appearance. She knows first hand that it's easy to lose sight of one's identity and self-confidence with all of life's daily stresses, and then what it takes to get back into shape, particularly after a pregnancy. Tracey has made it her mission to help motivate women to find their path to weight loss success and overall fitness with quick, simple and practical healthy solutions through sound nutrition and an easy to apply workout routine.
