Becky Southard from Missouri —  “Personal success during two past Challenges inspired me to stay on course throughout this one,” Becky says. Posting her “before” and “after” photos, Becky set new goals and vowed to stay on track for life. During her Challenge, Becky moved 1,100 miles from her home to spend time with her father during his cancer battle. Living without her husband, a treadmill and workout room, Becky made the best of it. She bought a bench and weights, and she worked out with her sister, took walks and ran. Becky measured her progress by trying on clothes. She went from a size 8 to a size 2; reduced her body fat from 27% to 15%; and lost 18 pounds of fat and gained 6 pounds of muscle. “I no longer focus on what cannot be changed. I am changing what I can, setting new goals and fulfilling my dreams.”
