What Some of our
Past
Winners have to Say!
Dave
Dunham
Staten Island, NY
|
| "I
absolutely love the changes I've made in my life.
Being surrounded by delicious, high-calorie foods and
not allocating time for exercise had gradually transformed
me into the stereotypical roly-poly pizza man. I learned
about diet and exercise from both Labrada Nutrition and
from Lee and Keith's Get Lean Kit, and it didn't
take long to realize that by eating healthy and exercising,
I was dramatically improving my overall quality of life.
Can you believe that others are asking me for fitness
advice? I couldn't be happier! Thank you Labrada
Nutrition for improving my life!" |

Karen
Garvin
Oklahoma City, OK
|
| "The
diet has changed that way I will eat forever in order
to keep the physique I have reached. Emotional success
is knowing I can do it by keeping my mind focused and
having determination to achieve my goal. Once in awhile,
I would have the struggle of not having the energy to
go work out. But once I started it felt great and built
my endurance back up. The challenge was to really stick
to the diet and keep the attitude that I was going to
complete this. I
followed all the steps and had the motivation to prove
to myself that even at 36 years old, a new program and
a new way of eating and a new lifestyle can be a goal
for anyone and can be accomplished!"

Karen
lost 9 pounds and 11% body fat.
| |
| "I
lost over 32 pounds and lost almost 14% body fat. Those
are just numbers though. The most important success is
that I like my body now. Labrada has shown me how to lead
a healthy lifestyle. The main difference of me now and
me from 12 weeks ago is that I am not ashamed of my body
anymore. I completely committed to this Challenge. I had
to get up to lift before 5 a.m., then go to work, then
college classes, back to work, then do cardio, then sleep.
I had several days like that a week, but I never ever
let it slow me down. The days that I wanted to stop I
knew were the most important for me to keep going. Even
if Lee's Challenge is over, it lit the spark that started
the fire. I just want to keep challenging my fitness further.
Thanks Lee!" |

Ryan
lost 32.5 pounds and 13.6 % body fat.

I began to shed fat and increase muscle mass, I got motivated
even more to continue. I began to see muscles and veins
that I had never seen in 31 years of life! I received
many compliments from gym members during my transformation
(that felt awesome!) One member actually called me a 'walking
anatomy chart.' I have made an amazing transformation.
I feel that I am the definition of what this challenge
is about -- I set a goal and achieved not only the goal,
but more than I ever imagined."

Keith
lost 27 pounds and shed 8.5% body fat.
Gloria
Paulina Soria - 2nd Place
Antioch, TN
|
| "I
have achieved every one of the goals I set for myself
at the beginning of this challenge!! Consistency and dedication,
along with the support from the people I love and the
belief that I CAN do it is what it took for me to complete
this Challenge. The best part is that I have gained more
than just a strong and healthy body, I have gained a strong
soul as well. Today, I am healthier and happier. The sense
of accomplishment is overwhelming; I am my own champion!!"

Gloria
lost 13 pounds and lost 10 inches overall.
Peter
Szpakowski
Lake Orion, MI
|
| "WOW,
let me just say that the results I have had from using
Labrada products and following The Get Lean Kit have not
only shocked me but have shocked my family, friends and
even people in the gym. Two years ago, I went through
a shocking and depressing divorce. As a result, I found
myself heading in the direction of being overweight once
again. I have gone from weighing 228 pounds and 18.4 percent
body fat to weighing 203 pounds and 8 percent body fat!
My 12 weeks ended on the same day as two local bodybuilding
contests; I entered both placing 4th in the novice
and 3rd in the open! THANK YOU!!!"

Peter
lost a total of 25.75 pounds and 10 percent body fat.
Darrel
Collins
Plattsburgh, NY
|
| "The
true measure of success for me during this Challenge was
not that I have changed so much physically, but my confidence
has grown when dealing with my personal training clients
and my life in general. I definitely feel that I now "look
the part." I now realize what the human body is
capable of. Coming into this Challenge, I was in the worst
shape of my life, and now I feel like I can accomplish
anything." |
|
 |
Darrell
lost 30 pounds and went from 20% body fat to 6% body fat.
Kris
Allen
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
|
| "I
am blown away with the results I got and did not expect
to see such a dramatic change in just 12 short weeks.
I completely changed my diet, lifestyle, and workout schedule.
Even if I don't physically win this competition,
I still consider myself a winner, as I have met all the
goals I set for myself at the beginning of this contest." |

Kris
lost a total of 17 pounds while increasing his muscle mass
Frank
Aguirre
Phoenix, AZ
|
| "It
is truly amazing how well I feel now that my weight is
down. I feel so energized and teaching kickboxing is a
breeze now." |
|
 |
Frank
went from 30% body fat to 18.2% and lost a total of 33 pounds.
Andrew
Freck
Nashville, TN
|
| "I
cannot believe the metamorphosis that I have undergone
in the past three months. And even though I reached great
physical results during the LBC, the intangible successes
are the ones of which I am most proud. I am more confident
in myself than I have ever been. It did not happen overnight,
nor do I think that I am finished, but I have placed myself
on a path for better health and greater success in life.
Thank you LBC for helping me find that path to a better
me!" |
|
 |
Andrew
lost 22 pounds and went from 18% body fat to 8% body fat
|
|
| "The
fact is, the formula worked! Initially, I couldn't
even budge 70-pound dumbbells on a flat bench. Now 100-pound
dumbbells feel light! Paralyzed from the chest down, I
experience precarious balance. My abdominal muscles, hip
flexors and leg muscles cannot stabilize me...so
lifting weights presents an extremely daunting challenge.
Nevertheless, the hard work, sacrifice and discipline
were worth it!" |

Kevin
brought his body fat from 29.4% to 12.7% and lost over 40 pounds.
The
Incredible Kevin Saunders - Our 'Most Inspirational' Winner
Kevin
had just graduated from Kansas State University and had started
a brand new job with the US Department of Agriculture as a
federal safety inspector. On only his second day on the job,
Kevin was working in a large grain elevator that was 30 feet
in diameter and 100 feet high of solid concrete and rebar.
It carried enough corn to cover an entire football field.
Suddenly,
there were a series of 15 consecutive explosions and the walls
in Kevin's elevator blew out. He was hurled 300 feet
over a two-story building and landed on a concrete parking
lot.
Kevin's
spine was severed, an injury that would paralyze him from
the chest down. Both of Kevin's lungs collapsed and
his internal and external injuries were so numerous that it
seemed impossible that Kevin would pull through. But he did.
Faced
with a personal tragedy that would have crushed others, Kevin
turned his life around and in doing so, has positively impacted
the lives of thousands of people. Kevin was the first person
with a disability to be appointed to the prestigious President's
Council for Physical Fitness and Sports. He was also the first
person ever re-appointed by the preceding President.
He
touts the mantra, "Never give up!" and "If
it's to be, it's up to me!" |
Kevin's courage and determination are an inspiration to us all.
Thank you Kevin for showing us what it means to be a true winner.
By comparison, most of the obstacles the rest of us complain about
seem small, at least in my view. What a difference the right attitude
can make. Again - congratulations!

| "Success!
Thanks to the Lean Body Coaching, Labrada Instant Breakfast,
Lo-Carb Shakes and Charge!, I now weigh 155 with 8.6 percent
body fat! I conquered my sedentary lifestyle and long
commutes by working out at home - doing cardio in the
mornings and resistance training after work. I am healthier,
happier and stronger than I've been in my 57 years.
Biggest challenge left find time to buy all new
clothes! Nothing fits but my shoes!"

Dan
Brown
Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada
|
| "Some
emotional successes included finally taking the time to
set goals and sticking with them. This made me feel great
which in turn spilled over into my relationships at home
and work. I have become more positive in all aspects of
my life, and I am really proud of what I have accomplished
during these 12 weeks. Many
things motivated me during the Lean Body Challenge.
My children made posters to encourage me and plastered
them all over the house. My wife was supportive of me
daily. I convinced some co-workers to enter and watching
them do well motivated me to do well. I faced many struggles
during the 12 weeks. During weeks 4 and 5, I fell off
my plan. I overcame this with the help of my children.
When they saw me eat something that I shouldn?t
have, they would point it out and remind me I was in
a contest. By them doing this I realized that they were
also learning from my experiences and I should stick
with my plan. Anyone who starts and finishes
the Lean Body Challenge is a winner. I now look at winning
as a product of hard work, preparation and a bit of
luck. This has become a way of life for me and also
my wife and kids. I realize that this is an ongoing,
never-ending process. It is what you make it. I proved
to myself that I can set goals and attain them. I am
no longer scared of success. I look forward
to more challenges like this in all aspects of my life."

am very pleased with my final results, having met my goals
by dropping body fat and increasing my biceps to 15.5
inches. I measure my success in this contest in that I
am very pleased at what I see in the mirror. It is never
too late to take control and get in the best condition
of your life, even at 57! Thanks Lee for your encouragement
and inspiration!" |

his waist
Michael
Camelo
Cape Coral, FL
|
"The
change to my body and my mind is remarkable. There is
no doubt that the Lean Body plan and Labrada products
helped me achieve it. At 45 years old, making a commitment
to a national contest was something that I needed to do
to prove that I could change my life and lifestyle and
follow it through to the end. Even with a few setbacks
during the 12 weeks, I was not going to fail."

Michael
