transformations

This is my first time ever attempting your 6 week challenge. I started following you on Instagram about a year ago and really like your honest and down-to-earth approach to weightloss and fitness. I’ve tried losing weight through calorie counting and exercise before, but I couldn’t stick with it for more than a couple of weeks before I would get detailed. Finally, I decided that if I was going to succeed I needed to be accountable to someone other than myself. Knowing that I had to submit a complete food log and step counter each week was what I needed to keep going. Now that the challenge is over I feel like I can stay motivated to continue. I may have only lost 7 pounds so far, but I feel like my body (and posture) is changing. I’m so glad I chose to do this! Thank you for creating these challenges!!

I loved participating in this challenge. It is just what I needed 9 months postpartum. It helped me refocus on my food intake and got me out and running/walking more which is what my mind needed!!! I look forward to participating in another challenge to do even better. I really appreciate your encouragement at the end about progress and the importance of finishing despite the fact that I didn’t win. I was feeling bummed that I didn’t do better but truly turned my mindset around to think about the motivation that I gained and the pounds I did actually lose, even if it wasn’t my goal.

Thanks for your knowledge, inspiration and motivation!

Thanks for this challenge Aftann. I learned a lot about myself this time. I was dedicated to an eating plan (trying to count Macros and fuel my body correctly), which is difficult because I’ve seen had an eating disorder (high school/college). But, I can say I now have a great relationship with food…I’m not afraid of it now (about time since I’m 44)

Thanks for pushing me even though I’m miles away!!! I’ve not looked or felt better in a long time.

I look forward to the next challenge!

I just wanted to take a second and thank you for doing your 6-week challenges. If I remember correctly my first challenge was May 2020. While I haven’t won a challenge (yet), I am so pleased with my progress. In the last year, I have lost ~20 pounds and have kept it off. I love your challenges and the simplicity you bring to this. I still have work to do, but I am already excited for the next Challenge. It starts next week, right?! Thanks again!

I cannot tell you how much this challenge and you have motivated me! I went through a huge weight-loss 6 years ago losing 80 pounds (I was down to 150), then after pregnancy and having my son I’ve been struggling. This was just the push I needed to get myself back on track and to be the best version of myself.

This last month has changed so much in how I feel and how much more comfortable I am in my skin.  My mood has changed my body doesn’t hurt. I put in a bathing suit this last weekend and felt so comfortable. I have never felt like that.

That’s the most I weighed in a long time. Thank you for a great challenge. Now, I’m ready to wear my new suit at the River!
