Small Choices, Big Shifts, and New Belief

The latest Take Control Transformation Challenge proves that a reset does not have to be complicated to be powerful.

For Challenge 8, three participants from Colombia stepped into a 30-day commitment with different starting points, different daily routines, and different reasons for wanting change. What they shared was a willingness to be intentional: choosing better meals, moving more often, staying hydrated, using their TLC products consistently, and paying attention to how their bodies and confidence responded along the way.

Their results were participant-reported, and their stories remind us that transformation is not measured by one number alone. It can also show up in how clothes fit, how steady your energy feels, how much more comfortable you are in your routine, and how differently you see yourself when you decide to keep going.

Winners were selected based on overall transformation, including weight-loss progress, visual change, consistency, personal story, healthy habit development, and commitment throughout the challenge.

First Place: Deiny Xiomara Ayala Buitrago

Prize: $1,000

Country: Colombia

Starting weight: 165 lbs.

Ending weight: 145.5 lbs.*

Total weight loss: 19.5 lbs.*

 

Products used: Iaso® Original Instant Tea, Resolution Drops, Delgada Premium Instant Coffee, and NRG Dietary Supplement

 

“Making the decision to begin my wellness journey with TLC changed my life in ways I never imagined.”

 

Deiny’s first-place transformation stands out because she described a full reset in how she approached her body, her habits, and her belief in what was possible. Before starting, she felt low on energy and uncomfortable in her body. She also shared that self-doubt had become part of her daily experience.

Instead of trying to change everything without structure, Deiny committed to a routine. She focused on balanced eating, hydration, home workouts when possible, and a TLC product routine that supported her wellness goals. As the days progressed, she noticed that she felt lighter, more energized, and more confident.

One of the clearest signs of her progress was measurement-based. Deiny reported reducing her waist from 94 cm to 77 cm, for a total waist reduction of 17 cm, while moving from 165 lbs. to 145.5 lbs. in 30 days.*

Her win is a reminder that the most important starting point is not perfection. It is the moment you decide you are ready to follow through. For Deiny, consistency helped turn uncertainty into evidence: evidence that her choices mattered, her routine was working, and her confidence could grow with every day she stayed committed.

Second Place: Edinson Orostegui

Prize: $500

Country: Colombia

Starting weight: 211 lbs.

Ending weight: 191 lbs.*

Total weight loss: 20 lbs.*

Products used: Iaso® Cleanse Tropical Instant Tea, Resolution Drops, and Iaso™ Clear

“Whenever I get closer to becoming my best self, I feel more energetic, and my confidence and self-esteem soar.”

Edinson’s transformation brought a different kind of energy to Challenge 8. His story centered on becoming more comfortable, more confident, and more connected to the version of himself he wanted to keep building.

During the challenge, Edinson focused on healthier eating, cardio, quality sleep, and his TLC product routine. By the end of the 30 days, he reported a 20 lb. weight loss and a major change in how his clothing fit.*

That clothing milestone is worth celebrating. Edinson shared that he had previously worn a 3XL shirt and size 44 pants. After his challenge progress, he reported fitting into a medium shirt and size 34 pants.

For anyone who has ever used clothing as a quiet measure of progress, Edinson’s story is relatable. Sometimes the moment that matters is not only stepping on the scale. It is buttoning a pair of pants, reaching for a smaller shirt, or realizing that your body feels different in daily life.

His second-place finish shows how powerful it can be to pair a clear goal with repeatable actions. Healthier meals, movement, sleep, and consistency gave him a framework he could follow, and his results gave him a reason to keep moving forward.

Third Place: Laura Andrea Gómez Espinosa

Prize: $250

Country: Colombia

Starting weight: 288 lbs.

Ending weight: 256 lbs.*

Total weight loss: 24 lbs.*

Products used: Iaso® Tea and Resolution Drops

“I feel happy and much more motivated to continue with my journey.”

Laura’s third-place story is one of momentum. She began the challenge at 288 lbs. and reported ending at 256 lbs., for a participant-reported weight loss of 24 lbs. in 30 days.*

While Laura did not record measurements, she shared that the visual change was clear in her photos. More importantly, she described feeling happier, more motivated, less fatigued, and encouraged to continue her journey.

That matters because many people begin a transformation journey hoping for a result, but what keeps them going is the feeling that progress is possible. Laura’s experience reflects that shift. Her challenge did not end with the final weigh-in; it gave her more motivation to keep building from where she started.

Laura paired physical activity with nutrition choices and used Iaso® Tea and Resolution Drops as part of her routine. Her story adds an important message to Challenge 8: visible progress can be powerful, but renewed motivation may be the real victory that carries someone into the next chapter.
