Tom Jones Body by Vi Transformation

“I started my first Body by Vi Challenge in 2010, shortly after peaking at 305+ pounds. Embarrassed and frustrated, but determined to change, I lost 19 pounds in my first month!!…and sputtered. Discouraging, but I made a point of learning *something* from every one of my setbacks…and I simply refused to accept that I was destined to be obese my entire life.

In January 2014, I decided to just focus on building good habits. I stayed consistent, though not perfect, and challenged myself. By late summer, I got down to 199 pounds, for a total loss of 106 pounds!! Perhaps even more importantly, I’ve gotten myself to the point that I no longer feel that my weight defines who I am. It has been the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and it…feels…WONDERFUL.”

Tom Jones persevered through the ups and downs of many Challenges and never gave up on his goals. Congratulations, Tom!
