One of our favorite success stories is our Teacher’s Challenge Group. Way back in 2007 when the Kimkins Diet was featured on the cover of Woman’s World magazine, they set out with an impressive goal to lose 2,000 pounds (yep, ONE TON) during their summer break.
One of our larger weight loss challenge groups with about 80 members, the Teachers Challenge required members to lose an average of 25 pounds each during the 10 week period.
At the 5 week mark these teachers supported each other to an impressive combined total loss of 907 pounds! By the end of the challenge the teachers reported an amazing total loss of 1,903 pounds! Some participants lost more than 60 pounds each!
Rita (left), a teacher who dropped from 175 to 134 pounds during the 10 week challenge, is a perfect example of how important a peer support system is to successful weight loss. Many teachers continued their weight challenge group after the ending date and exceeded the original 2,000 pound goal!
Kimkins will celebrate it’s 7 Year Anniversary in April 2013 (woo hoo!) and we’re honored to have been a part of so many weight loss success stories like our Teacher’s Challenge. Click here to get one of the recipes they used!
