Two years ago, “adventure” was not a part of Vicki’s regular vocabulary. More than 100 lbs. overweight, she instead opted for using excuses.
“Last year, a friend challenged me to lose weight, and I told him no every day for five months,” says Vicki. “I gave every excuse: I don’t want your shakes; I don’t have the time; I don’t have the money…”
And as Vicki came up with different excuses, her reality stayed the same: Her weight was preventing her from enjoying life.
“It was all about the little struggles every day, like trying to put on pants,” she says. “I avoided trips with friends and gave into my fears. Fears like people staring at me, or going to a theme park and not fitting into the seats.”
But then her fears turned into anger…and then determination.
“Finally, I got sick of being overweight my entire life, and I made the decision to change my eating habits and lifestyle,” says Vicki. “I started The Challenge and went to the gym, and I initially lost 50 lbs. with the Transformation Kit.”
Although Vicki had a lot of weight to lose, she focused on achieving small realistic goals.
“I had a big goal at the beginning of my Challenge, and it was hard not to get overwhelmed,” she says. “So, I turned my big goal into smaller chunks…and focused on losing 10 lbs. at a time. It was a lot easier that way.”
Losing 10 lbs. at a time eventually brought her a huge win: At Vitality 2014, Vicki was crowned ViSalus’ new Challenge Champion in the Weight-Loss Female category!
“Winning that title was the greatest moment of my life,” she says. “I had never received a medal before, and so the medal they gave me meant the world to me. It symbolizes how much The Challenge has changed my life—how it’s transformed me in every way. Socially. Financially. Physically.”
Now, 110 lbs. lighter and with plans to lose 25 more and to also build 15 lbs. of lean muscle, Vicki is focused forward.
“I changed my life direction, and I did it for ME,” she says. “What keeps me motivated is continually seeing my results as well as going public and making myself accountable. My biggest goal is to run a marathon. I know I can do that because…although I used to back-peddle, I’m now moving forward—full speed ahead.”
