Name: Leticia Barnett

What were your reasons for deciding to accept the Body-for-LIFE Challenge?
Two years ago I had decided I wanted to compete in a fitness competition. I did the Body-for-LIFE Challenge back then and thought that I was off to a good start. Here it is 2 years later and still have not reached my goal of doing a competition. I did finish the 12-week Challenge, however and knew that I could do it again, only this time I was going to try harder and reach all my goals.

What inspired you to stay on course throughout the 12-week Challenge?
My job and friends really inspired me to stay on course through the Challenge. Everyday, people around me were improving their lives through workouts and nutrition. I really wanted to be one of those success stories. I'd hoped to someday inspire other people to stick to their goals and really see the difference in their decision.

What obstacles did you have to overcome – what adversity did you transform into positive energy – in order to complete the 12-week Challenge?
My biggest obstacle to overcome was "finding the time to work out" factor. My husband worked nights and I worked days so that one of us was always there for our kids. So breaks between our schedules were not very long. What amount of time I did have at the gym to work out I had to make the most of. That allowed me to workout harder and really focus on my nutrition. I believe nutrition was the key since you work with that 24/7.

Please describe your physical improvements in terms of how you measured them.
I measured my success by how my clothes fit more than what the scale read, all though I did loose 25 pounds from start to finish. The change in my dress size was what pleased me the most. I went from a tight size 8 to a comfortable size 1 (one). To be able to put on an old pair of pants, I bought when I was 15 years old had me on cloud 9 all day.

Which EAS supplements did you use, and how much did they help you? Would you recommend those supplements to others to help them achieve the results you have?
Using the new Results product line benefited me greatly. The line not only had a great variety of shakes and bars, but it tasted great. That allowed me to stick to my program easier. I have recommended it to my friends. They love it too. It tasted great and was very convenient.

How was your life transformed by improving your physical condition – by deciding to accept the Challenge and sticking with it from start to finish?
I feel better about myself since I accepted and completed the Challenge. I have more energy and am able to play with my kids more. In sticking with the Challenge, I've inspired people around me to start their own programs.
