Hello,

I am Cheryl Rasmussen, Body-for-LIFE 2002 Grand Champion. Congratulations for reaching week 9!

This might be a good week to think about how far you have come. You set a goal to make it to 12 weeks and now you are only a few weeks away from realizing that goal. It was at this point in my Challenge where I knew I had changed my life forever. Not only would I make it to 12 weeks, but now I had the strength, energy and determination to really make a change for the rest of my life. I had an amazing amount of energy, renewed self-esteem and absolute results!

When I had accepted the Challenge in 2002, I was working full time and was a new mom to a 4-month-old baby boy. I was also commuting one hour each day to get to work. The only way for me to make Body-for-LIFE work for me was to wake up at 5:00 a.m. to get my workout done before my baby woke up. It was really tough, but after the first month of struggle, it became easier and before I knew it, I was where you are now.

I am sure that there are certain roadblocks that may make it difficult to keep on track with your Challenge, but know that you are not alone and it can be done!

Good luck with your Body-for-LIFE Challenge. Give these last three weeks everything you have got!

Wishing you all best,

Cheryl
