Challenge 11 has officially wrapped up, so let's take a closer look at our winners and pull out some key takeaways you can use for your next challenge.

This challenge was full of emotion and dedication, with a heartwarming story of determination that we think will really inspire you.

Winners were chosen based on a comprehensive transformation, evaluating self-reported weight loss, visible physical progress, steady consistency, personal background, habit formation, and overall dedication throughout the contest. Yet true progress extends far past mere metrics. Figures on a scale cannot fully capture the growth in mindset, self-assurance, and drive cultivated along the journey. Our champion participants embody meaningful, well-rounded progress, nourishing mind, spirit, and body alike.

First Place: Maria Eugenia Acosta Sierra

Prize: $1000
Country: COLOMBIA
Starting weight: 146 lbs.
Ending weight: 130 lbs.*
Total weight loss: 16 lbs.
Products used: Iaso® Clear, NRG, Iaso® Tea, and Delgada

"I am super happy. I thought I wouldn't make it, and today I'm even crying with happiness to see that I DID IT.”

Maria Eugenia Acosta Sierra takes home the grand prize of $1000 with her incredible physical and mental transformation.

Maria lost 16 pounds, but she also gained self-confidence, energy, and self-love. This was not her first time taking part in the transformation contest. She signed up once before, but was never able to stay consistent and dropped out. “Not this time,” Maria told herself. This time she would go all the way, and she did, all the way to first place!

Not only will Maria be celebrating her win, but she will also be celebrating her self-belief and her newly found discipline.

As part of her challenge, Maria did not starve herself or go on an extreme diet; she instead made more conscious decisions about what she ate, on top of consuming her favorite TLC Products.

A great story and a great transformation, Maria! Give yourself a round of applause for not giving up and proving to yourself that you are capable of anything.

Congratulations!

Second Place: Nora Badillo

 

Prize: $500
Country: COLOMBIA
Starting weight: 136 lbs.
Ending weight:  128 lbs.*
Total weight loss: 8 lbs.
Products used: Iaso® Instant Tea, Resolution Drops. 

“I feel more secure, and I'm ready to go for more.”

In second place, we have Nora Badillo, who lost a total of 8 pounds.

Nora’s success in the challenge didn't just stop at weight loss; it sparked an even stronger drive to keep pushing forward! Momentum can be an incredible source of motivation. Just like the old saying goes, “Once you're on the treadmill, it’s hard to get off,” her journey truly reflects that idea. She was so thrilled with how fantastic she felt that she pledged to maintain her progress long after the challenge passed. That exact shift is the ultimate goal of this challenge! Our hope is that it serves as the spark you need to transform your life on your own terms.

Alongside incorporating Iaso® Tea and Resolution Drops into her daily routine, Nora adjusted her eating habits by focusing on portion control and adding more fruits and vegetables to her meals. She also increased her daily activity and noticed positive changes in her posture.

Nora’s story shows that when you can see and feel the results of your efforts, your own motivation can take over and set you on a brighter path.

Congratulations on second place.

Third Place: Lelys Valentina Aguirre Neira

 

Prize: $250
Country: COLOMBIA
Starting weight: 174 lbs.
Ending weight:  160.9 lbs.*
Total weight loss: 13.1 lbs.
Products used: Iaso® Tea 

“I feel very good; honestly, I feel lighter”

 

Last but not least, placing 3rd in challenge 11 is Lelys Valentina Aguirre Neira with a total weight loss of 13 pounds.

 

Beyond supporting her weight loss, the challenge inspired Lelys to cut back on carbs and make Iaso® Tea a regular part of her daily habit.

 

Lelys also mentions her chronic knee pain has eased up. It’s always great to hear all the small ways the challenge helps improve the lives of its contestants.

 

Great work, Lelys, and congratulations on third place!

Why Challenge 11 Stands Out

Challenge 11 stands out because it shows what a little self-belief can do to help you take control of your life. 

 

You are often your own biggest obstacle, but you can also become your greatest cheerleader. The stories of our contestants are proof of that. Conquering self-doubt, trusting in your ability to embrace this challenge and succeed even after past setbacks, or harnessing the momentum gained from the challenge to propel your personal health journey forward.

 

The stories we come across in these challenges always prove that the human mind, body, and spirit are capable of incredible transformations; you simply need the commitment to make that initial move.

 

Once that first step is taken, who knows where it will take you.
