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 />
