December 16, 2011 (San Diego’s East County) –If you answered “get in shape” or “lose weight” or “build muscle” East County Magazine wants to help.  We invite you to join in a “24 day challenge” sponsored by ECM.  Shaping up is more fun with friends!  Plus we’ll have prizes and surprises.

How does it work?  The 24-day-challenge includes a combination of healthy eating, meal replacements/supplements, a fitness “boot camp” and one-on-one personalized counseling to assure your success.  The more, the merrier! If you have a group of 10 or more, we can set up a special fitness boot camp at your location.

Why are we doing this?  Obesity is one of the biggest health issues in America.  We want to help our readers get fit and feel great.  We have a special opportunity since our editor’s daughter has a new business as a representative for Advocare, a company founded 18 years ago in 1993 offering science-based health and wellness products.  Thousands of people have lost significant weight safely on this program. Even if you’re already thin, the program can be personalized to instead help you tone up, build muscle, and feel more energetic.

Is it safe and effective?  As a former nutrition industry editor herself, ECM editor Miriam Raftery has checked out this company and found it has a long record for both safety and positive results.  Products are suitable for all healthy individuals and programs can be tailored to meet individual needs. Recently Dr. Mark Miller, vice president of research and development, spoke in San Diego. Dr. Miller has been a consultant to the National Institute of Health and the World Health Organization.

What do winners receive?  To “sweeten” the incentives, besides looking better and feeling more energetic by taking off those added pounds after the holidays, top winners who lose the most during our 24-day-challenge will receive prizes included cash, a gym membership, and a pair of glitzy skinny jeans.

Do you have some success stories?  Yes, lots of them! Here are a few stories provided by Kathleen from people she actually knows!

1.       Stay at home mom: Extreme success: Desiree’s mom Danielle Boyle, (age 48, widowed, 6 kids, one grandchild) lost 20 pounds on the 24 day challenge, and now, almost three months later, has lost a total of 65 pounds! Desiree is my friend who will be running the 24-day challenge boot camp, she is 27 and has also done the challenge.

2.       College Student: Me, age 23: Before the challenge, I was always tired and lacked energy needed for my busy lifestyle as a full time pre-med student and working two jobs to pay rent. During the challenge, I lost about 2 inches from my tummy, gained noticeable oblique muscles, and a toned physique. Now I have loads of energy, a lean, toned body, and enough energy to work out 6 times a week and train for a marathon!

3.       Personal Trainer: Desiree – age 27: Before the challenge she was a personal trainer working out regularly, but had hit a plateau in her workout regime. After the challenge she too had lost inches and gained a toned physique, she saw lines she’d never seen before. She broke through her fitness plateau that had her flat-lined for months!

4.       Military enlistee: Dory Armstrong: My friend, Navy, age 19, before the 24-day challenge he was very skinny and had always had trouble putting on muscle. He wanted to gain manly muscle. During the challenge he gained 10 pounds of muscle!

 

  How do I sign up?   It takes about a week to order a 24-day-challenge kit, so call Kathleen at 219-9120 as soon as possible to assure that you can join us!  (We do have a few on hand for late-birds, but please help us make sure as many people as possible can participate by signing up early).
