Dr Ian thank you so much for what you are doing to help people get healthy. I listen to Steve Harvey Morning show and that's how I first heard about the Challenge. I know I wanted to be a part but did not start right away. I am a mother of 2 girls, and want to be an example to them as well rounded African American woman.
I am normally a very healthy, Muscular build person, ex-military, active person. I had a stressful job in civil service, and my eating habits changed to not eating enough of the rights foods, or not eating at all. A few years of this and the weight ballooned to 176 at one point. At this weight I am very uncomforable and have to do something. I would usually find some weight loss product and loose 8-10 lbs, and each time I would gain it back. This has been my pattern for 10 years.
My sister told me about the "4 Day Diet" so I researched it and bought it. I liked the every 4 days eating something different, because I know I get bored easily. The book sat on my shelf for months. TWO months ago I took my blood pressure and it was higher than normal and it scared me. I knew it was time to do something.
I took the book of the shelf and started reading. I decided I will do whatever this book says. It started out with dealing with MENTAL Preparation which I knew for me would be key. I did all the exercises and got myself prepared mentally. I immediately started moving, walking, then jogging, aerobics at home. I knew I had to do something at least 4 days a week and I had to mix it up, so I would not get bored. I started taking suppliments again. I like liquid suppliments to ensure more absorption. I did not feel hungry or craved anything. I drink my water, which was not easy for me; because I drink a lot of tea & ice tea in place of water. Now, I prefer water over anything else. I am now 3 lbs from my goal of 150 which I choose because of my muscular stature. I love the way my kids comment on how I look.
I have a whole new look, and I am now noticing I am turning heads of strangers. I am on my way to being that example to my kids and to my family and friends. Thank you again Dr Ian for life changing experience. May God Continue to bless you, your family and your ministry to the world.

Great job. I was only on day 3 and ended up sick in bed for a week with a nasty bug which has knocked the spirit out of me. I logged on this afternoon on day 10 looking for motivation to get jump started again. I recently retired from the military and jumped from 130 to 141 pounds due to lack of exercise and a new diet of junk foods and sweets. I'm very short so 11 lbs is a lot for my frame. Somewhere in the past several months I've lost my discipline and self control. Your story allowed me to see where I'm headed, but that I can also take control again. Thank You.

great job getting it done. discipline has been the hardest thing for me so far. where do you find liquid supplements? i hate taking pills and i did not even know that you could get them in liquid, it is always nice to have options.
