THE RIDE OF HIS LIFE<br />

Sometimes the most pivotal moments are the ones you<br />

don’t see coming. For George Brandon, it was during a<br />

trip to a nearby amusement park.<br />

George and his wife, Jennifer, loved to ride roller<br />

coasters. While at a park in 2012, the couple sat down<br />

for a ride – George realized this might be his last hoorah<br />

when he could barely get the bar to click. He was close<br />

to 3<strong>00</strong> pounds and had struggled with overeating and<br />

exhaustion for years. Embarrassed and frustrated, he<br />

knew he needed to make a change.<br />

Four months later, Jennifer said yes to a friend who<br />

introduced her to AdvoCare and began the 24-Day<br />

Challenge ® . Skeptical and reluctant, George waited to see<br />

if the products helped her before trying them for himself.<br />

Her results and the energy she gained was enough<br />

for him — George started his own 24-Day Challenge in<br />

November 2012.<br />

Along with the products, George substituted the two<br />

liters of soda he was drinking every day with Spark ® and<br />

began eating eggs, oatmeal or fruit for breakfast instead<br />

of skipping the meal like he used to. One year later, he was<br />

down 80 pounds and started jogging a few times a week.<br />

He built up to 10 miles a week, which helped him gain the<br />

confidence to get back in the gym two years later.<br />

“We were intimidated by the gym at first, so we started<br />

using the circuit machines,” says George. “Now we can’t<br />

wait until Monday mornings so we can get into the gym!”<br />

Confidence isn’t the only thing<br />

George has gained. He says he feels<br />

like nothing is holding him back now<br />

— he enjoys yard work and staying<br />

active with his wife, two things he<br />

never used to do. The couple bought<br />

bikes last year and go on 30-mile<br />

rides regularly. He also works out<br />

with a trainer five days a week to<br />

make the most of his workouts.<br />
