Personal
I was overweight before I got pregnant with my first child, so by the time I had Isabella in November of 2010 I was definitely not where I wanted to be physically – not to mention the substantial mummy tummy that pregnancy had gifted me. When the 12 Week Challenge came along I decided it was time to get back on track - I signed up for the Challenge, entered a TriWoman Triathlon and enrolled in my local Weight Watchers. I started eating more fresh vegetables, more fruit and drinking hot drinks instead of snacking on numerous treats. I even managed to convince my husband to give it a go, so we set up a bike trainer and tv in the spare room and between us we juggled baby duty with exercise duty. At first I decided to keep my master plan a secret, but it wasn’t long before my baggy uniform started giving it away and the compliments started to flood in. The more compliments I received the more I wanted to get to my goal. I’m not going to lie - I did have a magic number in my head that I wanted to get to on the scales – but the closer I got to that number the more I realised it didn’t really matter. I am more than happy with what I have achieved; I am more aware of what I put into my body; I am a lot fitter; I am more confident; I am a lot more comfortable with my not-so-substantial mummy tummy and I am proud of myself for all of the above. I am in much better shape physically and mentally – but it doesn’t stop here. This challenge has shown me that I can do anything. I didn’t realise before how much setting a goal and facing a challenge can motivate me. I loved it and I love challenging myself. I don’t need that magic number anymore, but I do have a few more things to tick off the list. I think I’ll start with a completely new wardrobe!

Personal
My name is Sally Fortmann and both in work and my private time I am a driven individual who loves a challenge. So when I found out about the 12 week challenge, I saw this as a great opportunity to improve the way I live my life and create a healthy lifestyle I can maintain. No more fad diets & detox’s and most of all, no more excuses! My mission was clear; develop healthy eating habits and find new and different ways to exercise and keep fit. I had a couple of challenges when it came to exercising. In week 1 I injured my back falling off a mountain bike (a new fun way to keep fit I was trying out!). 4 weeks later that finally came right and then a hip injury that I have flared up again meaning that distance running, my normal way to exercise, was too painful and still not possible. So as an alternative, I got an exercise bike at home which I use at least 4 times a week, did a boot camp program, some Bikram yoga, hockey and once my back was healed I continued with the mountain biking and even tried out motocross riding for the first time! I completed the 12 weeks with no drinking at all. I did this to add to the challenge, to assist in weight loss and break unnecessary habits. I focused on eating healthy & watching portion sizes and allowed myself treats when I wanted. With number of social occasions that I had during the 12 week challenge (3 Flight Centre conferences, Easter, my birthday and many dinners out), I feel like I can easily maintain my new habits, no more excuses. The 12 week challenge has given me the confidence to achieve anything! My achievements on the 12 week challenge are: • 10+ KGs (13%) weight loss • 10% loss in cm’s • 12 weeks alcohol free • Finding new forms of exercise I enjoy • Creating eating habits I enjoy and can maintain • Increased energy • Happier and more confident in my self

Personal
The 12 week Challenge was a great opportunity to kick start a major change in my work life balance. Prior to the challenge my blood pressure was high, I had bad cholesterol levels, feeling constantly tired and a diet which was out of control. My role at Flight Centre requires me to host a number of supplier meeting/lunches and dinners, which impacts on health (and waistline!) It’s hard to decline an extra course or more alcohol at these events, as you’re hosting and want to make the suppliers feel welcome to order as they wish. All the above factors lead me to stop and realise that I can’t continue as I am – it would be a quick road to a heart attack. I realised something needed to change and the 12 week challenge was the motivation I needed. With this epiphany I decided the part I can have the most control of is EXERCISE. I’ve been kept motivated each week by the 12 week challenge as I see results and improvements week-by-week. As I saw an increase in strength, weight loss and increased energy, I found my clothes fitting better and this kept me far more focused in the workplace. I now make conscious decisions at my supplier meetings/lunches to make healthier choices such as salads & fish over more fatty foods. This challenge has given me discipline and a routine that I am eager to continue with. While getting up at 6am each morning to get to the gym was a struggle, it’s now part of my weekly routine. I refuse to slip back into my old ways. I’ve come so far with the positive gains over the past 12 weeks and I’m thrilled with both my results physically and mentally. This has been an amazing opportunity and I would like to thank Healthwise for kicking me into gear and giving me the motivation to create this athlete I am today! The 12 week challenge has been a life changing experience for me and my family.
