Innovation Winter Challenge 2017 Weight Loss Winners

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS OF THE INNOVATION 2017 WINTER WEIGHT LOSS CONTEST

Andrew Stern: 19 lbs

Beth Mallor: 16.6 lbs

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!

CONGRATULATIONS ANDREW

YOU DID AMAZING AND IT SHOWS!!!

ANDREW LOVES THE WAY HE LIVES AND LIVES THE WAY HE LOVES!

CONGRATULATIONS BETH!

BETH LOVES THE WAY SHE LIVES AND LIVES THE WAY SHE LOVES!!!

Winter Challenge Week 4

4 Weeks in and you are all doing amazing. When you want something bad enough and are willing to work for it the results are endless! Challenges and temptations are always around every corner. It’s up to you how you handle them. One way to handle them is to always be prepared. Being prepared will save you time in the long run. Do it before and you won’t have to worry about figuring it out later.

SNOW IS ON THE WAY…so it’s super important that you keep yourself in a mental place that is strong. Snow lasts a couple of days and the weight gain will last a month! Today is a great day to plan what you are doing tomorrow. Get the snacks and items you need in the house so you are not stuck when you wake up tomorrow morning and can’t drive. Already have your mindset that you will not go off plan because there will be snow when you wake up. Plan to stay home and have your meals and snacks ready so you don’t say to me on weigh in day “I was stuck in the house.” No one is “stuck” because for my clients that live in the North East you have had more than enough warning that you will most likely be snowed in tomorrow. Get ready for it today. Don’t think, “Oh if I don’t have anything in the house I won’t eat” – that won’t work. There is always something in the house and when you are desperate it’s amazing the things you will come up with. So don’t even put yourself in that position. When it comes to your food make sure you have your plan and know what you are doing tomorrow. And get whatever you need today so tomorrow is effortless with your meals and snacks. Remember it’s a “snow day” not a “cheat day.” At the end of the day you will feel so much better knowing that you stayed on your path and you feel great going into Friday and a weekend where you can pick your cheat day and enjoy it.

There is really no better feeling than when you treat your body right. When you feel good all the time and you do the right things for you body and mind. When you are doing it consistently is when it really makes the biggest difference. Your cravings go away and you know you are on your path to where you want to be. There is nothing worse than being on the roller coaster – up and down and back and forth always ending up in the same place or worse than where you started. In order to be consistent and to get the very best results you need to push yourself everyday. It doesn’t matter how hard it is and it doesn’t matter how challenging it may feel – you need to push past it because when you push past it and you get on a healthy consistent path is when it will start to feel easy. It will start to feel effortless. Remember the hard part is because you are breaking out of the habits that you have created for yourself. It’s moving your body from the weight gain and into the weight loss. It’s paying the price for where you got yourself and working toward where you want to be. Of course it will be hard – but its only temporary. The more you work toward it and are consistent with it is when it will feel easier and effortless. But the more you keep putting it off the harder it will be. The longer you stay on the roller coaster the longer the ride. Face the challenge now. Do the right things and work through the mental pain and create the consistency of working hard everyday for what you want. Because it’s only when you give this 110% 6 consecutive days consistently every week is when you too will see the best results.

KEEP WORKING HARD, KEEP FIGHTING FOR WHAT YOU WANT, AND DON’T LET ANYONE PULL YOU OFF YOUR PATH. BECAUSE YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS TO LIVE WITH THE RESULTS.

BE PREPARED

BE CONSISTENT

AND YOU WILL BE AMAZING!!

Congratulations to all of our contestants. February is a tough month but a fast month – Keep working hard, stay strong, and stay on your path. You are all doing Super Fabulous!!!!

Winter Challenge Week 2

We are in the second week and the weight results are in. You are all doing so amazing. When you are in a contest it can be a game changer when it comes to weight loss. It’s not for everyone – while some look at competition as a job others need it in their life to help them succeed. There is no right or wrong. It’s matter of choice. If you thought the competition could help you and it hasn’t, don’t be disappointed – because what really is happening is you were looking for yet another thing to make you stick to what you want but at the end of the day it’s always only going to be YOU that makes you stick to something – not a contest. It has to be in your head that you want this – it’s not the competition that will bring it or make it happen. The competition will only bring it out and help motivate what you already knew you wanted so badly. Now I know you are all thinking you all want it so badly. We always feel like we do. But wanting it and wanting to work for it is two very different things. Wanting it and wanting to give up things to have it are also two very different things, and Wanting it and doing whatever it takes to get it is very different as well. AGAIN, my point is that just because you want it doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. In fact, wanting it and joining a contest is the smallest part of the whole process. We all want things – that’s the easy part. WORKING HARD FOR IT EVERYDAY is what really makes the difference in your success. So take a look at the last couple of weeks. Have you really done everything you possibly could to get results you want? Only you can answer that question.

99% OF THE CLIENTS BELOW CAN SAY YES THEY HAVE!

For those of you closer to the bottom of the list – I see you working very hard. Remember your goal is to get ahead of the person in front of you and as far away from the person behind you. Many of you have lost this week but didn’t see it in the final number because you gained last week. Stay positive and remember it’s amazing that you could come back from that – that’s what you have to focus on. Continue to keep losing and you will keep jumping up the list. This is a learning process. Stay strong, remember what you want. The final prize for you is to have your body as close to where you want it to be by Spring. I have no doubt you can all do this – keep proving it. Keep working hard and putting the time into yourself and your health. When Spring is here you will be so happy you worked hard today to get to where you want to be tomorrow!

THERE ARE NO SHORT CUTS

WORK FOR IT!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLIENTS BELOW FOR WORKING SO HARD EVERYDAY!

Thanksgiving Challenge Week 4

It’s Week 4 and many are still going strong. Even though you may not be at the top of the list what’s more important is you are still losing and still moving in the direction you want to be. Remember when the contest is over it doesn’t mean you go back to eating the way you used to eat. It means you continue on and be healthy from the inside out and work toward the person you want to be. Because there is not an end to eating healthy and feeling good. There is no, “Oh I’m done – now I will go back to eating whatever I want”. This is it. This is your life and how you want to live it. This is what you decided – that you no longer want to be overweight. You no longer want to feel out of control and you no longer want to be the person who isn’t happy with how you look and feel everyday. You are the only person who can change that and you decided to do it when you joined. You decided that you are more important than the unhealthy food that you have consumed for so long. The food that if I asked you to think about now, I would bet you wouldn’t be able to tell me what was so amazing that was worth you getting to where you are.

Look around you. Look at all the clients that have achieved their goal and who continue to work hard toward it everyday. The clients who are on the list below or the people you know around you. All over the world our clients are working hard everyday and they are reaching their goal. You don’t want to be that person that always has an excuse why you can’t do it. You don’t want to be that person who points the finger and blames everyone around you. The reason we have thousands of successful clients all over the world is because they work hard everyday at it. When they don’t follow they own it and they start again. Clients that I will never ever meet in person but that have reached their goal through the program because they continuously work hard and keep moving forward. If you want to be one of those successful clients then you have to work hard toward it everyday. Not just 3 days a week or even 5 days and have weekends off. It has to be 6 days on program and even on your cheat day you need to be aware that you will be going right back on the next day. You need to work hard to make the right choices everyday – and not just when its convenient for you. You need to stay in control and get through the temptations, the stress and the anxieties that are involved in everyday life. You need to fight everyday for the control to stay on and do the right thing. Why? Because it means that much to you. Because even though it’s hard, it makes you happier to be on program than to be off. Because being in control feels so much better than being out of control. Make it a priority and remember that there are people who feel good everyday because they choose to do the right thing that makes them feel good everyday.

“A healthy attitude is contagious but don’t wait to catch it from others. Be a carrier.”

**THIS IS OUR LAST WEEK. WE WILL ANNOUNCE THE WINNER. MAKE SURE YOU WEIGH YOUR FINAL WEIGH IN BY SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2016
