Challenge Details

Start Date | May 2024

Length | 6 Weeks

1st Place – Aimee D.

Starting Weight | 69.7kgs
Finishing Weight | 65.8kgs

 

Why did you decide to join the challenge?
The challenge is a great motivation to continue to work towards my weight loss goal. Having a challenge with a fixed timeframe encourages you to ‘go hard’, set a goal that is short-term reachable and work to it.

 

What made the biggest impact on your results?

The part that actually had the biggest impact for me was comparing the progress photos. I don’t enjoy taking progress photos – they can be quite daunting – however when you work through the challenge and take those check-in photos and actually see how much your body has changed in the short amount of time, it really motivates you to keep going and keep working hard. Being able to see the progress beyond just numbers on the scales made me really proud and I guess the challenge really made me step outside my comfort zone, take the progress photos and now I’m able to look back and see what a great achievement it was.

 

What advice would you give someone looking to get started on their own challenge?

Don’t get disheartened by days where you don’t see a change on the scales – or in whatever your goal is. Keep working and the results will come. And just do it! The hardest part is just getting started and taking that first step.

Runner Up 1 – Oscar N.

Starting Weight | 85kgs
Finishing Weight | 80kgs

 

Why did you decide to join the challenge?

To test myself and to see just how much change I could make to my physic in 6 weeks when I really focus on training and diet.

What made the biggest impact on your results?

Making a change to my diet focusing on eating healthier foods and making sure that I was only eating when I was actually hungry and not just eating for the sake of it. Keeping my consistency in the gym and all way trying to do better in my workouts also help as I could see week to week the weight going up pushing me to continue and keep me motivated

What advice would you give someone looking to get started on their own challenge?

That you have to stick at it and form a habit around going to the gym and improving diet choices and that you can’t expect instant results but have to stick to it by finding exercise that you enjoy and learning to love the gym.
