Maria Kang became famous in 2013 when she flaunted her physique in a photo with her three sons, using the tagline: 'What's Your Excuse?'

The 34-year-old is now prompting her fans to share their own photos and success stories as a part of her new movement


Fit mom Maria Kang has launched a new campaign celebrating more than 100 'no excuse' parents who have overcome their reasons for not working out and made exercising a part of their daily lives.

The 34-year-old mom rose to fame in 2013 when she shared a controversial photo of her toned body posed next to her three young sons with the tagline: 'What's Your Excuse?' Although she was accused of 'fat-shaming', among other things, she used her notoriety to form The No Excuse Mom Group, in which she started hundreds of free workout communities in more than 25 countries.

Ms Kang, whose No More Excuses Diet book is debuting next week, is now prompting her fans and fellow exercise enthusiasts to share their own photos and stories as a part of her No More Excuses campaign.

Amazing attitude: Jamie Goodwin refused to let being in a wheelchair stop her from exercising


The posters, which are being shared across a number of social media platforms, feature images of men and women who have incorporated fitness into their lives along with bullet points explaining their past excuses, their reasons for changing their ways and their current successes.


While the 'stars' of the movement come in all shapes and sizes, they are all proud of their progress and the difficulties they had to overcome.

Ms Kang has even shared her own picture, in which she notes that she has excess skin, stretchmarks and has been publicly criticized and even called a bad mother.

Pretty in pink: Kim Dolan Leto, 46, started taking gymnastics classes when she was 30, proving that age doesn't matter when it comes to fitness

'Deep Breath...I don't like showing my "flaws", but I'm a hypocrite if I don't accept all of me,' she wrote on Facebook of the photo. 'You will notice hundreds of No More Excuses pictures flooding social media this week - so here is mine.'

She added: 'I was called a lot of mean things in the past year, but one thing's for sure...sometimes the best response, is a revolution!'

In addition to revealing her own photo, the new author has been posting others' images to her Facebook page and thanking them for sharing their inspirational stories.

'Incredibly proud of some of the images flooding my timeline today,' she wrote earlier this week. 'It doesn't matter where you are, stop making excuses and change will happen. ‪#‎nomoreexcuses‬.'

Ms Kang, who quickly worked off her baby weight after all three of her pregnancies, has been married to former marine David Casler since 2010. Their boys are now aged six, four and three.


The busy mom is also the owner of elderly residential care homes and the founder of her nonprofit Fitness without Borders, which funds her No Excuse Mom Group.

And now she is sharing her 'long-term and sustainable' diet and fitness plan with her new book, which she called a 'labor of love'.

But Ms Kang had her own body struggles throughout her twenties.

'I was bulimic,' she told Cosmopolitan. 'I was addicted to the endorphins in my body every single time I vomited. It went on from about age 23 until I was 27.'

She eventually overcame her eating disorder and began to live a healthier lifestyle. During her first pregnancy, she started to love and value her body more than ever.


Life changing: Ms Kang rose to fame in 2013 after she shared this controversial picture. Many people accused her of 'fat-shaming' other mothers

Big goals: She is now the author of her own No More Excuses Diet book, which hits shelves next week


Before and After: Ms Kang, who has three songs ages six, four and three, said it took her about eight months to lose the weight after each of her pregnancies

And while she lost the baby weight after each of her pregnancies, she doesn't expect new mothers to be back in their skinny jeans in a month.

'It's not like I snapped back - it took me eight months,' she explained. 'My average weight loss per week was half a pound, which is not a lot of weight.'

Ms Kang maintained that it is 'just so annoying' to hear excuses.

'I think that you either want it or you don't,' she said. 'You really have to make that choice, take accountability, and own your actions.'

Vanessa Campos is awesome, VCN fitness and no I'm not her, or her people... Just someone who knows she's the real deal..she has classes online


I read every one of these and feel oddly inspired. I have my own challenges, but don't want that to hold me back from staying healthy and fit. Thanks for these reminders, Maria!


Could not stand her at first but TOTALLY back her now. After seeing pics of size 28 models at 300 plus pounds I I can't see how even a plus size goddess/ single mom with such a beautiful face could be happy living with a huge health risk.


crossfit: no standards. Just say you workout, the crossfit buzzword is overused and meaningless.



good message. there are no excuses when it comes to taking care of yourself.


Someone like Maria Kang is desperately needed in fat America, too many fat people with too many excuses. Good for her.


I know I'm going to get crucified and red-arrowed for this, but why doesn't she use her married surname, or at least hyphen it?


When I married her, she changed her name. As a "blogger" we kept it the same because to change everything didn't make any sense. Now, what's more funny is when people say "You must be mister Kang?" I know who I am and she knows who she is, I don't my ego get in the middle.


Great for them but everyone's journey is individual. First Maria Kang is Fat-Shaming, now she's Disability-Shaming, Eldery-Shaming? You can be motivational without using the word, 'excuses'.
