Wow, on Superbowl Sunday I was sitting with my husband watching the game and flipping through “The Now” when I noticed the announcement for the 16-week challenge.  Well I have to tell you I actually jumped up and said out loud “this is just what I need.”  I showed the announcement to my husband and said I’m going to register first thing tomorrow and that’s exactly what I’m doing. 
 

I believe I’m the perfect candidate for this challenge.  I represent a huge cross-section of middle-aged working women who struggle endlessly to maintain their health, fitness levels and their appearance.  In essence I represent “every woman.”  I am 41-years old, work five days a week and spend two hours a day commuting: yet like many women I make the time to work out, to challenge my body to increase in strength, endurance and flexibility.  Yet, like so many other women although I do the work, I have not yet been able to achieve the results that I know I am capable of.  Realistically I don’t have a lot of weight to lose, perhaps 10 – 15 pounds, but it’s that final few pounds that are the most challenging.  I love a challenge and the feeling of success and attainment is awesome both mentally and physically.  I am prepared to give this challenge 200+%, I am prepared to give this challenge my all, mentally and physically - and I will. 
 

I think you should choose me because you will get a dedicated, motivated, hardworking individual who so many, many other women can relate to.  We’re the women you see everyday, fairly fit and healthy yet still sporting that extra 10 that just won’t budge.  I look forward to the challenge and to achieving that awesome feeling of success that one can only achieve through reaching their goals.  Pick me and for the next 16 weeks and beyond I’ll pour my energy and enthusiasm into transforming myself and demonstrating to all those other middle-aged, hardworking women that the battle of the bulge can be won!
