What a wonderful year this has been so far. I have been having such an awesome time with the Ripple Effect. It is such hard work, but so rewarding at the same time. I’m doing things I never would’ve thought myself capable of. I can feel my body getting stronger every day and my clothes are starting to get very loose. We had a big Ripple Effect free Saturday workout on the 9th that was off the chain. They made lots of announcements about upcoming exciting things. They also announced the winners of the weight loss challenge for last month. Much to my surprise, I won 2nd place! I only lost 5 pounds, but I lost a total of 8 inches and over 7% body fat! The 1st place winner lost an amazing 20 pounds! We both did the Advocare 24 day challenge along with the weight loss challenge which gave us optimum results. I’m hoping that I can reach my weight loss goal by this summer. I will continue to participate in the Ripple Effect even after accomplishing that goal. I also signed up to go on the Ripple Effect mission trip to Guatemala in July. I am looking very forward to this experience.
