The Ultimate Health Challenge: Week One Update

A New Era of Wellness Begins

Welcome to the most epic health experiment of the year! Five brave individuals have embarked on a journey to transform their lives, and we’re thrilled to share their progress with you. With four ambitious goals and a tantalizing prize of $1,000, our contestants are motivated to make significant changes in just six weeks.

Beating the Heat Wave

This weekend, our contestants faced a daunting challenge: sticking to their routines amidst a sweltering heat wave and the irresistible allure of the beach. But they persevered, and their dedication is truly inspiring.

Regina’s Rocky Road to Success

Regina, aka @greatistregina, has been keeping a hawk’s eye on her diet, but even she couldn’t resist the temptation of a bagel and lox. However, she ended up only 0.6 pounds shy of her goal weight on Sunday – a remarkable feat considering daily weight fluctuations can reach up to five pounds!

Grokker’s Game-Changing Offer

To fuel her progress, Regina received an incredible three-month subscription to Grokker’s fitness videos. And the best part? The company is offering Greatist readers an exclusive discount too! Now you can work out from the comfort of your own home and catch up on your favorite TV shows – it’s a win-win!

Brandon’s Tortilla Troubles

Meanwhile, Brandon (@greatistbrandon) is struggling to give up his beloved tortillas. We’re rooting for him to stay strong and kick this habit once and for all!

Darby and Adrienne’s Brain-Body Connection

These dynamic duo, Darby and Adrienne (@greatistdanda), are posing thought-provoking questions about their fitness journey. Can you love and hate a foam roller at the same time? Does working out in an empty gym still count? They’re flexing their mental muscles as much as their physical ones.

Jasmine’s Whole30 Wonderland

Jasmine (@greatistjasmine) has discovered a major perk of the Whole30 Program: bacon is allowed! Here are some mouth-watering, Whole30-compliant recipes to keep the party going – the salmon and artichoke dish is a must-try!

Jessi Kneeland’s Sage Advice

Our mentor, Jessi Kneeland (@greatistmentor), continues to inspire our contestants and debunk common health myths. Her latest advice? Focus on tracking trends, not exact progress, and remember that your self-worth isn’t tied to the number on the scale. Amen to that!
