Weight Loss Challenge Winner - Kris Lambert

Posted 12 January 2009

Back in October last year we launched the first ever Fitbug Weight Loss Challenge. Over 500 of you signed up for the 10-week competition which took us right up to Christmas Eve 2008. We had some fantastic results over the course of the competition, and Kris was no exception, losing a fantastic 7.5kg over the 10 weeks. Here she tells us just how she did it.

Congratulations on weight loss Kris!- How do you feel?

Absolutely delighted! I feel so much better. My health and my outlook have changed for the better.

What did you do over the 10 weeks to achieve such great results?

I didn't cheat! I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge. I ate sensibly and exercised regularly. I used the Fitbug website and Team Fitbug for all the support I needed.

Why did the challenge work for you?

It worked for me because I can keep checking my progress on the website. Although I have dieted a lot over the years, now I can see immediately, through the website, where things are going wrong and now of course where things are going extremely well. I thought I knew about food but I have learned so much about the content and balance of my food and the direct consequences on my body!

What changes have you noticed in your body?

I feel comfortable not only physically but mentally too! If I want to go out and enjoy a bit of a splurge I can, I don't feel guilty about it. I really enjoy my food much more now too! I can then get right back to my regime and most times I don't even put any weight on whereas before I would put a pound or two on and then just blow everything and get back to that overeating circle. Not any more!

How have people responded to your weight loss?

Extremely positively! All the lovely comments have boosted my moral and strengthened my resolve.

How do you plan to keep this going?

I'm not changing the formula! I will keep checking in with Fitbug as I have been doing. Fitbug keeps me on the right road even when I stray a little. This is a regime, a way of life and not a diet. A lifestyle I can keep up indefinitely, I have proved to myself that I can do this for 10 weeks without any problems. I am still amazed at the amount and variety of food I can eat without feeling guilty and lose weight all the way! Thank you Team Fitbug for your continued support!
