90 Day Health Challenge ✓

Challenge Completed

Congratulations to you all for completing the 90 Day Challenge! We hope you have enjoyed it and feel proud with what you have achieved over the last 13 weeks.

You have made lots of small changes which have contributed to your weight loss throughout the challenge and it's important to recognise how far you have come. Everyone has done incredibly well during these uncertain times and we have seen excellent progress throughout the challenge.

The next step is to maintain these changes and continue setting yourself new goals so you can keep making progress. Don't stop now!

The overall challenge winners and spot prize winners will be announced via email week commencing 27th April once everyone has had their final check in.

Onward motivation

Throughout the challenge we have provided top tips to help motivate yourself and keep you on track. Here are some ideas which may help keep you going:

  • Buddy up with other members of the group (or create your own group of friends)
  • Continue to accept support from friends and family
  • Use online groups and forums (remember to be mindful of what you are reading from other people with regards to nutrition)
  • Use apps and online trackers to help monitor your continued progress
  • Reward yourself with small treats for successes (try not to make them food or drink related)
  • Whilst we would absolutely encourage you to set yourself some short and long term goals going forwards, every now and then don't forget to look back at what you have achieved and give yourself a pat on the back
  • Remember why you started this journey!
