The Mommy Makeover Contest: Top Three Advisers Picks (Voting Closed)

Today is an exciting day! Over the past three months, all five of our Mommy Makeover participants have been working so hard to first begin and then maintain a huge lifestyle transformation. They started off with the AdvoCare 24-Day Challenge. From there, they shared their daily food journal and workout routine in our Comeback Circle Facebook group.

Each woman started out with a vision of where this contest could take her, and narrowing it down to our top three has been such a difficult process.

In the end, here are the topics we took into consideration: 1) results photos throughout all three months, 2) pounds lost, 3) inches lost, 4) lifestyle changes, 5) healthy daily habits, and 6) achieving their SMART goals.

Before we share who our top three participants are, I wanted to hear from our advisers on what they gained from the contest. Here’s what each of them had to say.

The Comeback Circle: Third Video Chat!

At the beginning of April, we had our third video chat for the Mommy Makeover contest. With Easter over and summer right around the corner, this time of year is especially busy for everyone, so Priya couldn’t be our co-host this time around, and Renee and Danielle were the only two participants who were able to attend. Courtney, our resident technical guru, produced our little show. It was a much smaller ensemble than we’re used to, but we still covered a lot of excellent ground. We even got some of the non-contest participants involved in the chat!

The Comeback Circle: Video Call Recap!

This past Sunday, Feb 28, Priya and I had our second video chat with our five Mommy Makeover Participants—Danielle, Nikki, Renee, Vanessa, and Vange. First of all, I think it’s pretty incredible that collectively our Mommy Makeover participants have lost 30 pounds and 26 inches in only one month of this three-month journey. It speaks to their dedication and determination, and it also speaks to the leadership of our advisers. This community we’ve fostered and developed through our daily interactions and accountability check-ins is incredible!

On our call, we discussed three successes that each participant experienced in February, their top 5 Gallups Strengths Finder strengths, and goals for March. Then Priya and I helped them devise a specific plan to help them stay accountable.

So here are the successes and March goals for our Mommy Makeover participants! (In the order that we chatted on the call.)

Guest Post: 5 Tips for New Runners (or Anyone Getting Back in the Habit)

Hey, everyone! It’s Courtney here. Recently my sister and I started training for a 5K. We’re participating in The Comeback Circle and wanted an affordable way to get ourselves back in shape. A little over a year ago, my friend Kolbe started entering races and making running a bigger part of her life, so it made sense to ask her for some tips for new runners to help get me started.

Read her advice below if you’re planning to start a brand-new running routine or if you’re returning to the habit after some time away. Over the past few weeks, she’s helped me stick to my plan, and these tips have made my transition a lot more manageable!

The Comeback Circle: Webinar Replay!

Here’s the replay of Sunday’s video chat between myself, the advisers, and our participants! Unfortunately, because of some technical difficulties, we’re missing the first thirty minutes, which includes our discussion with Danielle, Candace, and Laurie. However, we’ll definitely get to talk with them again in future chats! For this month’s chat, each of the participants set up specific, individualized challenges for the first month of this contest. Not to mention, it was so fun to hear each of our participant’s voices and get to know them on a deeper, more personal level!

So now you might be wondering…what is the Comeback Circle?
