"I can't tell you how helpful it's been to actually have a program that holds me accountable in such a supportive way.  I hit [a number on the scale this week] I haven't seen in probably 10 years.  I can't describe the impact that seeing that show up on the scale did for me, my motivation and self confidence.  Possibilities are opening up for me that physically were not possible two months ago.  Do you have any idea how amazing that feels?  I'm not just changing my weight.  I'm changing how I experience life.  That is much more of a change than I was expecting when I started what I initially thought was going to be my "next diet" program.  Having a supportive team who motivates each other is the key to this great program.  I definitely could not be doing this alone."  Brian S., The All Mighty Huff & Puffs


I have been so impressed with Brian’s dedication to improving his health during the Summer Shape Up Challenge!  Week after week he consistently works to build healthy habits through earning nearly all of his points each day.  He’s seeing some amazing results because of his hard work!

Brian has dropped nearly 23 pounds and 10 inches in the past 5 weeks.  These kinds of results do not just happen through lackadaisical workouts, eating junk and over-indulging in sweets.  This level of success is dependent on many factors (initial weight, medical issues, etc.) but most importantly it depends on commitment; a commitment to putting health as a priority, to making decisions daily that reflect those health goals and a perseverance to stay consistent with those choices. 

 

Staying committed is not an easy thing, but it is doable and worth continuing to work towards, even if you make mistakes and are imperfect along the way.  Your success will be different than Brian’s because your goal will vary from his, but your success will remain dependent upon your level of commitment to your goal, just as his is and mine is and everyone else’s.  Keep working hard this week and remember that Valerie and I are here if you need any extra support.
