Seeing how great of an impact these changes have made to her mental, physical, and emotional health has inspired Lauren to devote some time out of her busy schedule to encouraging other moms to do the same. Her guilty pleasures include dark chocolate, reality TV, and Skinnygirl Margaritas. Her ultimate goals include: completing a full marathon, a triathlon, and pursuing further education in nutrition or physical sciences. Lauren is excited to share her experiences and learn about others’ from the Skinny Mom family!
