Describe how the Get You In Shape Biggest Winner Contest has helped you these past 6 weeks? I had worked up great momentum over my first 8 months and wanted to keep it going with extra everything, especially accountability. Success can sometimes lead to complacency, but I wanted mine to spur me on to greater accomplishments. As Brad says, it’s on-going consistency that makes the difference, and this 6 week push has nudged me closer to the permanent life changes I have been developing since day 1 and has taught me to continue setting fitness goals for myself to reach.

This challenge made me more accountable, and think about all that I was eating, and the fact that I really needed to move with purpose every day.

What have been some of the benefits and results from the GYIS Biggest Winner Team Challenge over the last 6 weeks? Benefits and results: I was certainly more aware of my food intake than I have been lately. I have lost the biggest part of the weight I wanted to lose, so it gets harder on the other side of that marker. I am certainly moving more on my off days. Making a point of walking our track at work, when I am there (and the weather isn’t terrible).
In telling my family about this challenge, I am getting the rest of them to move more, with my granddaughter wanting to do exercises with me nightly. This is encouraging all of us to move more.
Thanks very much for this challenge, Even if I have not lost much weight, I am paying more attention daily to everything I consume, and I am moving more intentionally, even on the off days, which previously was not happening much. 🙂

Bethany Gillam – Lost 7 inches in 6 weeks!Describe how the GYIS Biggest Winner Team Challenge has helped you these past 6 weeks? Knowing that I was accountable to my team, and not just myself, really made me put in the full effort. Consistently attending book camp, missing only when out of town, and adding in the ODC has been a great reminder of how much better I feel, and look, when I take better care of myself. It’s been the little voice in my head reminding me to make better choices and to get in that extra cardio even on the days when I’m tired! The results I have seen from adding back in the cardio are enough to keep me going. I still have a ways to go but I definitely feel like I’m on the right track!

It’s given me additional opportunities to have fun with my kids, as I have been incorporating them into my ODC whether its with intervals or dance battles with them. It all counts! My skin is definitely looking better and I attribute that to the consistent use of Trim. The biggest benefit I have seen is with seeing results on both the scale and in how my clothing fits, I’m feeling better about myself and the image I put out – am I giving the best I can and representing my personal brand to the best of my abilities? I am definitely getting there!

Needed to adjust my mind back to following the darn instructions and making good choices. There were two tough weeks one were I had the flu and the second when I was traveling.
