Dan Diaz of Illinois —  Being the lead singer of a rock band, Dan wanted to set a good example to his family and friends by “eliminating the unhealthy trends that music groups sometimes fall into.” Dan accepted the Challenge for his own well-being and to be a strong role model. In only four weeks Dan’s body fat went from 15 percent to 11 percent and he lost a total of 8 pounds of fat while gaining 5 pounds of lean mass. “My best new habit is breaking old habits and trying new things,” Dan says. “I have learned to love life, to appreciate and not take it for granted, to pass the knowledge I’ve learned to others to enlighten and inspire them as much as I have been.” Dan’s goal for the next eight weeks is to stay focused. “If I fail, I must not give up but learn from my mistake and pick up where I left off with even more determination to succeed and win; I must continue to raise the bar.”
