Isagenix Announces the 2008 IsaBody Challenge

January 20th, 2008 | by admin |

In 2007, Isagenix® awarded over $100,000 in cash prizes to IsaBody Challenge winners. The winners were chosen from more than 2,200 participants who transformed their lives by using Isagenix products.

Even more important than the prizes, each participant learned how to incorporate behaviors that will help them be healthy, clean and lean for life.

Isagenix® Co-Founders, Jim and Kathy Coover, are committed to motivating as many people as possible to set new health and wellness goals. That’s why the IsaBody Challenge was created—to inspire you to greater health and wellness!

The prizes you are eligible to win are tremendous—but the transformations you can experience in your life and health are even more important: lasting weight loss, improved energy, peak athletic performance and like Mark Macey, a renewed appreciation for the miracle of your life.

“Get busy living or get busy dying.” This quote from the movie “Shawshank Redemption” has become words to live by in my eyes, because before finding Isagenix, I was “busy dying.”

Then I was recognized on stage in front of 3,200 Independent Associates as the grand prize winner of the IsaBody Challenge during Isagenix’s annual convention, called “Celebration 2007.” This not only commemorated the end of one extraordinary journey, but also marked the beginning of a new, healthier, happier life for me and my family.

When I was 400 pounds, I lived my life in denial. I was so restless at night from the weight that my wife had to sleep in another room. I had a distorted image of my weight and health. I had given up. This was not the man I wanted to be. After all, I had a lot to live for—a loving wife and seven children. I enjoyed my job as a bus driver, but everything was a struggle for me when I was at my heaviest.

Then the hard truth hit me one day. That’s when something incredible happened. My 21-year-old son Jordan, with tears in his eyes, came to me and told me I needed to do something so that I could be around for my kids. That was it. I had to make my family proud.

At Celebration 2007, my son, along with the rest of the crowd, honored me as I was announced as the IsaBody Challenge Grand Prize Winner. I shed tears of joy as I took home a prize of $10,000 and had a $2,500 shopping spree with the Coovers in Las Vegas. Now weighing in at 278 pounds—114 pounds lighter* than before the Challenge—I can easily beam with confidence.

During my shopping spree with the Coovers at the Caesars Palace Forum Shops, I took my winnings sitting down—literally. Before Isagenix, I had not been able to sit down, cross my legs and take off my shoes at night. Instead, while standing, I had to bend uncomfortably to remove them. Not only did I buy a sleek pair of new walking shoes for the event, I sat down and easily slid them on and off. The accomplishment brought out a lot of emotion in all of us.

I am still working on what I call “reaching optimum lightness,” but I am well on my way! My passion is to help others regain their spirits so we can all “get busy living!”
