Burn the Fat 2011 Holiday Challenge
Enter The Burn The Fat Challenge...
Get In The Best Shape of Your Life... And Win A Luxury Vacation To Maui!
Dear Fellow "Burner",
With the upcoming holiday season's festivities and food, most people will be gaining weight and getting flabbier in the weeks ahead, but YOU could be in the best shape of your life by the time the new year rolls around.
Imagine toasting on New Year's Eve 2012 to the great body you ALREADY HAVE instead of resolving to get back the body you used to have. How amazing would that feel to finish the year strong and start the new year on the right foot?
But we didn't listen to the critics...
This is our 5th season of the Burn the Fat Challenge. THOUSANDS of men and women have accepted my "49-day Holiday Challenge"... and tens of thousands of pounds of fat have been burned! (And lots of muscle gained...) This is My Holiday Challenge to you: Say "NO!" to holiday blues and holiday weight gain... Enter the Burn the Fat 49-Day Body Transformation contest in November, and start the New Year in better shape than you're in now... while enjoying the holidays at the same time! YES - you CAN do both - and we've proven it here every year, as our success story photos show! All it takes is 49 days. Post your before and after results in our private contest forums, and if we select you as the "best body transformation," I'll send you on an all-expenses paid luxury vacation to the tropical island paradise of Maui, where you can show off your new body poolside and on the sun-drenched beaches... Maui, Hawaii... It's the dream vacation of a lifetime! (see the resort and spa photo slide show below). There will be 10 finalists, including the 2 overall champions, but the good news is, there will be no "losers" in our contest.
That's because if you accept this 49-day transformation challenge AND FINISH IT, you'll be starting the new year in the best shape of your life and you'll come away from this experience a WINNER! Your achievement will also be immortalized in our "Burn the Fat Hall of Fame!"
The real question is, WHY NOT? Why put it off until the new year? Why not make THIS the year that you move past procrastination and start developing the fast action habit? If you truly want something.. badly... why would you EVER wait? All you have is today, so SEIZE this moment and take this opportunity before it's too late! Why else? Because when you enter this challenge, you will have a better chance of succeeding at body transformation than anything you've ever tried before! Here's why:
In the past, maybe you didn't have the motivation to begin, or maybe you were missing one of the powerful drivers that make you give it your best effort every single day - in the gym, in the kitchen and all day long.
With the Burn The Fat challenge contest, you'll have ALL the motivation and all the tools you need to blow past plateaus, overcome any obstacle and achieve the best shape of your life.
The Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle (BFFM) program works as predictably as a math equation - plug the numbers into a proven formula and the outcome is always the same... MORE MUSCLE AND LESS FAT!
The BFFM program is now heading into it's 10th year online, and the principles on which it is founded have been field-tested among the leanest, fittest people in the world for more than 20 years! (BFFM is based on the same nutrition and training techniques used by figure athletes, bodybuilders and fitness models). Nothing is more effective - NOTHING!
But this challenge goes far beyond just a powerful nutrition and training system.
The secret is tapping into the power of motivation, accountability and support in a way that can ONLY be accomplished during a contest held in a large social community like our Inner Circle (thousands of members in 152 countries all meeting together to support each other).. I'm VERY SERIOUS about this: After 4 seasons of promoting the Burn the Fat Challenge, I'm Convinced that our challenge creates a "Perfect Storm" for motivation, accountability and better-than-average results.
1. SUPER-HIGH MOTIVATION
When you put all these "motivational drivers" TOGETHER at once, I swear, it will accelerate your results like pouring gasoline on a fire! It has for thousands of people in our last 4 challenges and it can for you too. Whether you're doing this contest just for the personal motivation or you're "in it to win it" and you want to go after the prizes, either way, it's a win when you accept this challenge today.
Plus, this contest is based on PERSONAL IMPROVEMENT in BODY COMPOSITION, which means:
A) You are competing against yourself for personal improvement.

Judging
This is a fat loss contest. Winners will be chosen based on greatest body fat loss and body composition improvement in 49 days: judged based on body composition numbers (weight, body fat, lean body mass), visual appearance (before and after photographs from 3 angles) and a transformation essay (each component counts for 1/3 of the score. The judges may weight the photos or essays more heavily based on body composition test result congruency).
This is a fat loss contest, not a "weight loss" contest. (The person who loses the most weight could be the winner, but NOT necessarily). Although this is a competition with many people vying for the prizes, from a judging point of view, you are competing against yourself: You will be judged on your own personal improvement between your "before" and your "after."

Most Transformed Woman Over 50 - Contestant age 50 or older who makes the best 49 day body transformation wins choice of IPOD classic, IPOD Touch or Amazon 6" Kindle. Why age 50?

Kindle's or ipods may be substituted for Amazon or itunes gift certificates. Crossover and repeat entries You may enter as an individual AND with a team (aka "crossover"), thereby being eligible for two prizes. (for example, overall winners may be part of a team or special category winners may be part of a team). Overall winners are not eligible for most ripped, most supportive or most inspirational (no crossover). For example, you cannot win most ripped and overall winner. This provides more chances for more people to be winners.
Finalists from previous contests are eligible to enter and win prizes again. Winners of previous contest are eligible to enter and win prizes again (however, the judges hope to see previous winners maintain "role model status" and display "the next level" of progress, rather than see them regain and burn the same fat they did in previous contests!)
