BEST YOU YET CHALLENGE WINNER IS...

Wow!! This was quite the competition. We have so many inspiring women on our program it truly lights me up! Thank you to everyone who participated, it makes such a huge difference for all of us.

Jessie Ayriss is the champion of this challenge. This is her story!

The elx program and challenge has been so incredible for me. It was exactly the right type of push and supportive friendly competition I needed to regain energy and feel healthy again in a reasonable and sustainable way that fit into my lifestyle. I've always loved being healthy and active but after having my two precious babies just outside a year of each other I lacked so much energy. Although I felt so proud of what my body had accomplished, I also felt a bit disconnected with my body in some sense because I did not physically recognize it or feel as strong as I had previously. I also was getting moderate to severe headaches almost every other week. That was the worst part. I know part of being a new mom is the exhaustion, as so many of you know, but I have had much more energy since I've started these workouts and the fatigue is so much more manageable. I'm so glad I was able to commit to the 30 minutes a day/ 5 times a week.  Since starting the challenge I have only experienced one very mild headache! That is my favourite part...not how I look, but how I feel. I think that's what is going to make it sustainable for me. My main motivation is growing old with as much of my health so I can enjoy my babies with ease as they get older, God-willing. Since starting the challenge I've lost 13 pounds and a total of 10.75 inches. I haven't only lost though ;) I've gained new friends, ideas, and an awesome trainer who knows her stuff. I'm really looking forward to keep going with this. Thanks so much everyone! :)
