1st Place – Alfie W.
Starting Weight | 79kgs
Finishing Weight | 73.9kgs
Why did you decide to join the challenge?
I loved the results from my first challenge and wanted to see if I could build on what I’d learnt previously
What made the biggest impact on your results?
Tracking my diet and hitting a pretty significant daily calorie defict, all while making sure my fibre and protein intake was high enough on a daily basis was key. I made almost all my meals at home and tracked it all in myfitnesspal. It required a bit of prep. and planning but I have found a lot of tasty, healthy recipes as a result that are now in the regular rotation.
What advice would you give someone looking to get started on their own challenge?
Give it a good go.
6 weeks is daunting initially and you might not see changes immediately but stick through it. You should start seeing the results as you progress to week 4, 5 or 6.
And boy, does that cheat meal at the end taste amazing!
