Watch now as we catch up with Robin Phillips, the Women’s Grand Prize Winner of the Chris Powell 12-Week Bod•ē Challenge!
What makes a true champion? Talk to Vemma Brand Partner Robin Phillips, who just became the Women’s Grand Prize Winner of the Chris Powell 12-Week Bod•ē Challenge. As a military wife, stay-at-home mom, entrepreneur and mother of three, Robin has many demands on her time, so she needed a weight loss program that would fit easily into her lifestyle. Bod•ē fit the bill. Robin accepted the challenge, lost 25 pounds, and became a weight loss champion to friends and family.** “Winning was a complete surprise. When I entered, it was because I needed a personal challenge. I’m looking forward to the cruise, though!”
Getting back to normal
Robin’s goal was simple: to get off that baby weight and get back to feeling normal. “I gained about 30 pounds after the birth of my third child,” Robin says, “and found myself just kind of grazing all day with the kids. I couldn’t find a weight loss program that really worked for me. I needed a program that made it simple, so the Bod•ē app was perfect. I didn’t have to keep track of a thing — the app did it all for me. In 12 weeks, I achieved my goal and I feel healthy and strong again, mentally and physically.** I’m ready for the next challenge!” And it’s a good thing she is, since she just found out her husband is getting re-stationed. Robin squeezed the Bod•ē Challenge in between two major moves in a 10-month time frame, which is a feat worthy of a medal in itself.
Becoming a finalist
“When I got the call telling me I was a finalist, it just felt surreal. They flew me to Vegas, and I had a gorgeous room with a gift basket waiting for me. I felt totally pampered. We couldn’t find a sitter for the kids, so my sister came with me to Vegas and my husband stayed home and watched Convention on Ustream with the kids. I’ve got a photo of them watching at home and cheering for me.” In addition to the ultimate makeover retreat Robin won in Vegas (which included a shopping spree with a personal shopper, salon and spa services, and travel), Robin also came home with $1,000 in cash and a $5,000 cruise voucher for an ultimate vacation package. “When I got home from Vegas, my husband was already researching the best vacation spots in the Caribbean,” she says, smiling.
“If I can do it, you can do it!”
With her husband on active duty, there were days Robin couldn’t get to the gym, but she found a way to work exercise in. “When kids were sick or home from school and I couldn’t get a babysitter, I’d do an exercise video at home. Even if you only have 10 minutes, you can do Chris and Heidi’s nine-minute workout from the Dr. Oz Show.” Robin had a lot of reasons why she could have given up, but she didn’t. She stuck with it and has justly earned the title of Chris Powell Bod•ē Challenge Champion. “I have a challenging lifestyle with my husband in the military and having a young family,” Robin states matter-of-factly. “We’ve moved six times in the past eight years, so change is constant, plus there are deployments. My message to people everywhere is if I can do it, you can do it.”
Weight Loss Tips from Grand Prize Winner Robin Phillips
- Once you start, be consistent from the moment you wake up to that Bod•ē Rest at night.
- Make healthy eating a family thing. Share healthy snacks and meals with the kids instead of making separate meals.
- Take those before photos! It can be intimidating, but it’s the only way to really see how much progress you’ve made.
- Fit exercise in whenever you can, even if you don’t have time for a full workout.
- Use the Bod•ē app! It makes the program so simple.
- Stay active as a family. Find something you enjoy — whether it’s swimming, hiking or biking — and do it together.
- Believe you can do it.
**Results not typical, your results may vary. The success or failure of each individual is dependent on their own efforts. The Company has generally expected results which can be obtained by visiting www.vemmatoday.com. **Results not typical, you may not do as well. Two pilot studies conducted by Vemma showed that 55 participants who followed the Vemma Bod•ē Transformation Plan for 12 weeks using Vemma Bod•ē Burn, Bod•ē Rest and Bod•ē Cleanse, lost an average of 14.8 pounds. Not all participants will complete the plan, or accurately follow the directions and guidelines of the plan. Vemma Nutrition Company recommends you follow a healthy approach to weight loss by consulting with your physician or healthcare provider before starting any new exercise, diet plan, nutrition or supplementation program, particularly if you suffer from any medical condition or regularly use prescription or over-the-counter medications. The Vemma Bod•ē products as part of the Vemma Bod•ē Transformation Plan should be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and 10 minutes of daily exercise.
Vemma provided Jami with Bod•ē products throughout her transformation, including Burn, Rest, Cleanse and the Chris Powell Bod•ē Shakes, and she loved having healthy “fast options” to keep her fueled for workouts.** “Knowing Chris’ relationship with Vemma Bod•ē made it a product I knew not only my trainer stood by, but my friend, too. When I went to meet my mom in Chile, one entire suitcase was Bod•ē products. With the temptations of another country and the smell of ceviche in the air, I turned to Bod•ē to keep my program running and my body fueled.** As far as the Chris Powell Shake goes — does it suffice it to say that I’m addicted? I love the vanilla, that’s my favorite. Here’s my favorite time-saving recipe: one scoop powder, one cup of Vanilla flavored Coconut Milk Greek Yogurt. Yummo! The Bod•ē Shake is awesome and I’m thankful for the delicious flavor. It allowed me to switch from using almond milk to using just water with my shakes.”
