FitnessWave Body Composition Challenge Results

The inaugural FitnessWave BC Challenge is over and the results are in! Each participant did a great job and our overall winner put up some amazing results. The main goal of this contest was to motivate people to start living a healthy lifestyle and it was definitely met.

Thank you to all of our sponsors for not only giving some great prizes, but also for giving the participants what they needed to do their best!

And The Winner Is...

Beth Todd - Nashville, TN

Beth was "all in" from Day 1 of the Challenge. She took the information we gave her and immediately went to work. She set her goal, followed her program, and achieved some of the best results I've ever seen in a 12 week transformation contest.

Weight- She lost 19 pounds in 12 weeks! (That's 1.5 pounds per week)

Body Fat %- She dropped 5.3% of her body fat!!

Overall Body Composition- The number that won it all for her...She changed her overall body composition by a whopping 11%!!!

Here is what Beth had to say about the BC Challenge:

"I can't do it." never accomplished anything. "I will try." has performed wonders. ( quote by George P. Burnham)

I have been struggling with obesity for almost 20 years.. I turned 50 this year and now more than ever I have a sense of urgency to get fit. When I went to FitnessWave I was embarassed to get dunked and feared facing the "numbers". David Harris said something to me that helped me get past this " You have to know where you are to get where you want to go." He was right. I am glad that I did not let fear hold me back from taking this challenge. One of the things I learned this past 12 weeks is that anyone that wants to make a physique change whether it is 5 pounds or 50 needs these tests. David helped me to set a realistic 12 week goal which was important so I would not get discouraged. I read his fitness blog www.FITNESSU.BLOGSPOT.com and found useful information that helped me be successful. I was given a calorie chart that showed what my intake needed to be to lose, maintain or at what point I would actually start to gain weight. It helped me plan my day to work towards gradual steady weight loss. I am so excited that I won this challenge! I plan to use my prize of free testing for a year to help guide me towards my ultimate goal of being healthy and fit. I can tell a difference all ready in how my body performs with just 19 lbs lost. I can't wait to reach my goal in 2009!

Beth worked very hard on maintaining a proper diet throughout the contest. She realized eating right every day is a difficult thing to do. She also now understands that you don't have to be perfect with your nutrition, but if you'll be consistent then you can still reach your goals.

Her exercise program was designed by one of the best personal trainers in Nashville, Stephen Taylor. It matched up well with Beth's abilities, goals, and available time to get maximum results.

Congratulations Beth! You did a great job!
