Member Feedback

• I would say I lost around 3-4 lbs. with this
  challenge. My family liked all the choices too. I
  am trying to continue the push on the fresh
  fruits. My fridge is so much more colorful!
• We participate in the STEPS Challenge as a team.
  It motivates us when we know were accountable to
  one another. We especially liked the challenge
  where you get points for resting. Were looking
  forward to the next STEPS Challenge!

  material, trying new things, different exercises,
  and tips you have given. Very informational at
  your fingertips. I have really enjoyed it and
  will continue to work at my exercise habits, and
  eating better, thanks so much!
