Many terrific men and women are now participating in the second month of the SLMsmart Challenge. Though the process of developing new, healthy lifestyles can be difficult, it has been great to see the positivity and enthusiasm coming from many of our Challengers.

For example, Brook Strebe of Arizona speaks highly of her SLMsmart experience so far. One of the best parts of her journey has been the involvement of her husband/fellow challenger Nathan Strebe. “Having someone supporting you, keeping you accountable and helping you along the way is so valuable,” Brook said. “That has been very helpful to me.”

Both of them have already begun experiencing benefits of the Challenge beyond weight loss. Nathan, for example, won $250 on his Scratch & Win card. Brook won a t-shirt on her card… and though that may seem small by comparison, she’s grateful for the rewards of the Challenge more valuable than cash.

“I have been surprised,” wrote Brook “at how my strong sugar cravings, like wanting cookies, cakes or candy, are gone. My body feels satisfied and I actually don’t want it. Never felt this before. I sometimes feel bad when I am at a party and everyone offers me all this junk food or high carbs that taste so good and I always turn it down.”

You can read more of Brooks thoughts about the SLMsmart Challenge below:

What advice would you give to someone new to SLMsmart and the SLMsmart Challenge?
“The advice I would give is to never give up, and that preparation is most important. Stay connected to someone else in the group for support. Be kind to yourself! You are worth it!”

What tool or product has been the most useful to you so far?
“The SLMsmart Health Shake.”

Other thoughts?
“I have to say I have learned a lot about myself. I have never really and truly eaten so clean for this long and not gone crazy with cravings, and to be able to have success in losing weight. It’s amazing! And I feel so great! This has been very emotional, more so than I thought it would be. I am learning so much about me. I love this experience. I am looking forward to month two and taking this to another level.”

City Creek  in the heart of Salt Lake is the newly opened retail masterpiece of one of the nation’s largest mixed-use downtown redevelopment projects. This unique shopping environment features a retractable glass roof, a creek that runs through the property, a pedestrian skybridge and more. This world-class fashion and dining destination offers over 100 stores and restaurants including Nordstrom, Macy’s, Tiffany & Co., Michael Kors, Coach, and Texas de Brazil Churrascaria, in a casual, pedestrian-friendly environment.

Mountain Resorts

Though best known for their annual 500 inches of the “Best Snow on Earth,” these mountains can be enjoyed long after the snow has melted. Utah has 14 incredible resorts, the majority of which are located within one hour of the Salt Lake City International Airport. Several of these resorts provide a plethora of spring and summer activities that range from tram rides and hiking trails to mountain roller coasters.

SLMsmart Spotlight: Jim Smith March 2015

spotlightjimsmith

It’s been one month since the SLMsmart Challenge officially kicked-off, and many Challengers are already seeing results and feeling great.

Jim Smith of Anaheim has been a positive and incredibly honest challenger so far. He’s tried other programs and diets in his life and sees the value of SLMsmart. Additionally, he’s quick to realize the realities of weight management. He knows it to be tough, he knows it to be rewarding. Here are a few insights he submitted at the end of his first 30 days:

In your Challenge experience, what has been the most pleasant surprise so far?
“The great taste of the new chocolate Health Shake. I typically mix two cups of either kale or spinach with 3 scoops of Health Shake mix and one cup of unsweetened almond milk. I cannot taste the kale or spinach. What a great way to get the benefits of these wonderful vegetables.”

What advice would you give to someone new to SLMsmart and the SLMsmart Challenge?
“Do your daily planning and tracking with the tools provided. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you are not perfect and slip from time to time. Get support wherever you can find it.”

What tool or product has been the most useful to you so far?
“Health Shake and the closed Facebook group.”

What would you say to someone who is CONSIDERING whether or not to join a SLMsmart Challenge?
“If you truly want to lose weight and be healthier, start immediately. If you don’t, you will find yourself looking at the same person in the mirror a year from now and be just as dissatisfied. The key is to take ACTION and START.”

Other thoughts?
“I must admit that it’s a battle. One doesn’t change 30 years of bad lifestyle choices overnight. This kind of program and these questionnaires help keep my goals in focus and allow me to start again every day with new optimism. I am committed to not giving up and making small changes each and every day.”
