Innovation Winter Challenge 2017 Weight Loss Winners

We had really great weight loss numbers and the contest was REALLY close. But in the end you all won because you have all started Spring 2017 lighter, healthier and fitter than you were in January. How amazing for you all! When it comes to weight loss, it doesn’t really matter where you start – It matters that you enjoy the journey, work hard and feel great about yourself inside and out. You have all accomplished that. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE CONTESTANTS!

Many people always ask “how did they do it?” … I will tell you how. In order to lose weight you have to work hard everyday. You have to think about it everyday and you have to plan for it everyday. It’s really hard work! But it’s hard work for any success that you have in life. Any successful person will tell you that you have to work hard everyday. You have to give it your all everyday and you have to want it more than anything everyday. Whether it’s weight loss, school, or your career – it’s hard work and it’s exhausting and exciting all at the same time. You have to stay motivated and you need to constantly push yourself – especially if others  are trying to pull you down.  It doesn’t mean that you don’t have fun.  It’s what your version of fun is — Cheat day is fun. It’s a break from the real world once a week. Vacations are fun they are a break from the real world for a long weekend or long week. My point to this – is it’s easy to do nothing and it’s even easier to do the wrong things. But it won’t make you happy and it definitely won’t make you successful. If you want to be successful whether it’s in weight loss or any part of your life – it takes commitment, perseverance, and both physical and mental strength. You have to be willing to be exhausted but keep doing the right things… it’s okay to be aggravated but keep doing the right things – And of course on the happy days it’s always easier to do the right things!

Always remember the more consistently you work hard the more successful you will be..  Doing nothing is easy. Working hard and being successful is hard but definitely more rewarding. You have to decide who you are and what you are willing to give. Like Andrew and Beth! They worked hard for what they wanted and it shows!
