Set your goal to start the Lean Body® ChallengeT today. Commit yourself right now to change your life forever! Now that you're registered, here's how it works: [If you are NOT registered, Click Here!]  1. DOWNLOAD THE LEAN BODY CHALLENGE PROGRAM.   Download the Lean Body Challenge program (see below). Read it carefully, and follow the program throughout the 12 weeks of the program. The program includes workout tips, meal recommendations, and more. Click Here to Download - 334k (Right-click, "Save Target As...") You will need to download and install the FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print the Lean Body Challenge program. This downloadable training program is to be used in conjunction with the Lean Body Challenge Packet you will receive by mail.* If you would like more valuable advice to help you do your best on the challenge, see Lee Labrada's book, The Lean Body Promise. 2. TAKE YOUR "BEFORE" PHOTOS   You will take your "Before" photos at the start of your 12 week program and your "After" photos when you have completed your Lean Body ChallengeT. If you cannot take the photo on the exact start and finish day, please make sure you do this within three days. On all your front photos, you must hold a newspaper with a readable headline to authenticate the dates of the photos. (Note: Magazines are not acceptable to verify photo dates.) Show as much of your physique as possible. Remember that you will be judged on the most dramatic change, so we must be able to see your body clearly (swim suits or gym trunks are strongly recommended.) Make sure when you take your pictures that you are as close as possible to the camera. (If your image is too small, we cannot judge your entire physique, nor can we see the newspaper headline.) If possible, have your photos taken professionally. Your photos will count for 75 of a possible 100 points, so make sure they look good! Please note that Polaroid, negatives and digital photos will not be accepted! When finished, both the "before" and "after" photos must be affixed to the correct page of your Lean Body Challenge Packet.* 3. TAKE YOUR BODY MEASUREMENTS.   Some people measure their success by the amount of weight lost or muscle gained. Others go by their dress or pant size. Some people like to know their body fat percentage. Whatever your method of choice is, be sure to commit to it and list it specifically in your competitor packet! Body measurements help you stay on track! Make a note of your starting and finishing body measurements in your first essay, and monitor your progress carefully. For reference, we recommend you record your initial measurements on the correct page of your Lean Body Challenge Packet.* 4. WRITE YOUR FIRST (SHORT) ESSAY.   You are required to write two short essays during the Lean Body ChallengeT. The first essay should be written at the beginning of your 12-week transformation and should include a statement of your goals. The second essay should be written upon completion of the Lean Body ChallengeT and should reflect on your progress and improvements in your physique and confidence. Also include how you incorporated Labrada supplements into your daily routine. Each essay should not exceed 200 words, but remember that your essays do count for 25% of your total score, so be sure to be as thorough as possible. Both essays must be included in your Lean Body Challenge packet. They may either be typed or handwritten on the correct page of your packet.* 5. GET YOUR NUTRITION PLAN STARTED RIGHT.   Purchase your initial Labrada®, Lean Body® and/or CarbWatchers® products to get yourself started! Three (3) full Labrada®, Lean Body® or CarbWatchers® products must be used during the challenge. These products may be purchased at the beginning of your Challenge (recommended) or throughout. There are 3 ways that products for the Lean Body ChallengeT may be purchased; 1) Ordering Online from our online store. 2) Calling 1-800-832-9948 and ordering your products by phone. 3) You may purchase your products from a retailer other than Labrada Nutrition®. However, full proof of purchase must be submitted along with your completed Challenge Packet. Please note that ONLY full products qualify (i.e. one box of bars, not just one bar, etc.). At the end of your 12-week challenge, any and all receipts for Labrada® product you have must be included with your Lean Body Challenge Packet.*   Now you're ready to begin! Good luck, and if you have any questions, feel free to e-mail us at leanbodychallenge@labrada.com or call 1-800-832-9948. Remember, we're here to help you succeed, so DO NOT hesitate to ask! *Challenge Packets will arrive the week after the Challenge begins, after all registrations have been collected. Don't worry - you can begin the challenge with the downloadable Lean Body Challenge PROGRAM.
