Jeff Havens , of League City, Texas!

In just 12 weeks, Jeff lost 17.5 pounds and dropped his body fat to 6.8%. Here's what he had to say about his experiece:

Words cannot fully express the wide range of emotional and physical successes that this challenge has presented to me during the past 12 weeks. I have achieved more than I ever expected. I have stayed focused this entire 12 weeks in all aspects of my life. As funny as it sounds; I finally had the confidence to go sleevless in the gym. But, overall the largest emotional impact has been the way I see myself as a person. I honestly feel like I have made positive lifestyle changes that will allow me to conquer any of life's challenges.

Congratulations, Jeff!

Here are the rest of this year's winners, listed by division.

30 - 39 Division

Stacy Gullion
2nd Place
Humble, TX

Stacy lost 11 pounds and 3.5% body fat on the Lean Body Challenge program.

Everyone can see my physical transformation, but the emotional changes that this challenge evoked are much larger. The obvious change has been in my self-confidence. I was already an outgoing person, but I now feel so much more confident in everything I do. I have even decide to pursue a degree in counseling, which I haven't thought about since my child was born. Thanks for the opportunity! I would not have reached this level of change without the motivation the challenge provides!

Jason Harakal
3rd Place
Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada

Jason lost 11 pounds and more than 3 inches off the waist on the Lean Body Challenge program.

Although my weight was not changing, I knew what I was doing was working, becuase I could see the changes in my body and I had to move to a smaller notch on my belt. At 10 weeks, I really saw the difference and at that moment I knew all the time and taining were really paying off. With this challenge, not only did I achieve a great physical transformation but I have learned and am now practicing healthy eating options as part of my regular routine.

40 - 49 Division

Doyle Hayes
1st Place
Haubstadt, IN

Doyle lost 30 pounds and 10% body fat on the Lean Body Challenge program.

I would never have believed that such changes were possible, especially because I was not an athlete in my younger days. I was able to shed 30 pounds (10 more than projected), dropped from a jean size of 36 to a size 30, and dropped 10% body fat (2% more than projected). I am indeed proud of all that I have accomplished so far in my 12 week challenge and plan on taking my accomplishments and new abilities to an all-new level.

50+ Division

Robert Parsons
1st Place
Tulsa, OK

Robert lost 20 pounds and 6% body fat on the Lean Body Challenge program.

When no one believes in you, God does!

Struggles were a dialy occurence...but I had the answers.

Spirit- Trying to believe I could do it. I just did it!
Mind- Negative thought bombardment. Only positive thoughts.
Body- Aches and pains---too old. Plenty of rest and right foods.

The belief in myself motivated me. I am happy with the foundation I have laid and will continue to build upon it.

Most Inspirational

Tony Clingaman
Most Inspirational
pring, TX

Tony lost 13 pounds and 9.15% body fat on the Lean Body Challenge program.

Once in awhile, a special Lean Body Challenge candidate comes along that we feel has overcome amazing obstacles and made such positive strides in their life that they get our Most Inspirational award. We reserve this category for just a few candidates and it is a special award to us. This time around we had a Lean Body Challenge candidate who truly moved and inspired all of us. Here is Tony Clingaman in his own words.

"In 1997, I had major back surgery where screws and rods were used to fuse my lower back. No one thought that I would ever be able to do physical work, much less build the body that I have. This program has allowed me to overcome impossible challenges, including squatting over 200 lbs."
