"I never had the chance to send you an email to thank you for the last performance challenge. I learned so much about how to eat better but more importantly how to fuel my body to make me the best version of me yet (seems hard to believe that I am in the best shape of my life at my age - a few weeks away from 40). I am actually doing the 50 mile GORUCK Star Course in DC next month.

Thank you again! I will always be grateful & blessed by you!"

"Over the past year I went from 119 to 132, which is drastic untoned weight gain of hurry up and eat food and now down to 126. Not that that's the goal. Health is #1. Block time and sweating are rocking my day. LOVE the passion and drive in this group. It gets me through workouts mentally like never before. I used to smile a lot and now it's annoyingly plastered on my face again. :smile:

Wishing everyone a beautiful, healthy weekend."

"Week 5 completed! This is my second Performance Challenge and the reinforcement of the physical, mental, and fueling component is sticking with me better this time. Consistently doing workouts, noticing the thoughts I tell myself, and feel better with less carbs, no dairy. Thank you, Sealfit, for your positiveness, team motivation, integrity, and investment in your members. Today is my YES day as we have Bengal fever here in Cincinnati anticipating the game. Who Dey!!"

"When this started I couldn’t do a push-up yet; due to being 12 weeks post pec tendon repair. On Monday I got a strict 28. This program has exceeded my expectations and positively impacted all around development in how I approach fitness, nutrition, professional/leadership and family life.

"Wow. So grateful for this challenge. My body feels a lot better and definitely less inflammation. I am not a big believer in the scale as a measurement of health. However decided to weigh myself this morning and I have released 5 pounds. The big difference is my energy is back and I can do the workouts without pausing them 2 or 3 times. Knee pain is gone and lower back feels great. Thank you so much to the sealift team. Have an awesome day all!!!"

"Grateful to be moving again and eating healthier! Just the jump start I needed.

This has been so incredibly helpful to me in so many ways. I’m very happy that you all are doing this challenge again this fall. I needed it more than I realized and am very grateful. <3"

"Melanie I take this opportunity to thank you again for your work in the program, and for your kindness in helping me. What you are doing is making a world of difference to my life. I am truly already a better man by striving to live to the Sealfit ethos. Thank you once again."

"Dear Coach Mel - a sincere thank you for hosting the SEALFIT 6 Weeks To Cleaner Eating. Gayle and I are both in our late 50s, reasonably fit and active - and our oldest son has been through Mark's 20X and Kokoro events, so we thought this would be great just based on the affiliation. We walked away from the last 6 weeks with a refreshed appreciation of how thoughtful we should be on what goes into our bodies - and how really easy it is to simply cut out most of the crap from our diets...and how sustainable eating clean actually is. Thanks again - and all the best."

“I just want to say thank you to Coach Melanie Sliwka and everyone here in the forum. This was such a great 6 Weeks for me. We’ve been cleaning up our diet over the past few years but I feel this challenge filled in a lot of knowledge gaps for me and i learned a lot about my body and what I need for it to thrive.”

“Coach! I'm loving this challenge. I'm seeing GREAT results! More energy, better sleep, better training performance, and less cravings for bad choices. This is BY FAR the best I've ever eaten in my life”

“After 6 weeks to Cleaner Eating I'm super excited to report that I'm sleeping better, feel overall healthier & stronger, and have had ZERO migraines.I'm going to to continue to stay on track with being dairy & grain free. Thanks, Coach Mel! I appreciate all your encouragement, the conversations with health experts, and tips to staying on track!”

"Thank you - extremely positive results and the best I've felt in years! I've done cleanses which serve their purpose, but this method has revolutionized my approach toward healthy and clean eating. I've been very mindful of what I have eaten in the past, but this takes it to another level. I feel great and I feel strong!"

"So happy with the results! This program has been the best thing I have ever done for health and wellness. Thank you to Coach Mel and to all of you. This community has been incredible for encouragement, inspiration, camaraderie, and advice. By following this program, you have achieved something that the majority of people would never even attempt. Something to really be proud of. Let’s continue to strive for higher goals together and to keep getting better, faster, fitter, and stronger together!"

"So many great things to report on at the end of week 4! For starters, weight is down 7.8 pounds! I sustained a 5-pound weight loss from the Clean eating challenge, so the grand total is 12.8 pounds! My caloric intake has gone down considerably. I was eating 1600-1800 cal/day and now at 1000-1200 and actually have more energy. Healthwise, I had been feeling sluggish, was “apparently” snoring a lot and my blood pressure was going up (150/80 prior to the challenge). I was about to bite the bullet and see a doctor for my blood pressure but I am a doctor and hate seeing doctors because they prescribe medicine so I decided to wait and see what more tweaks in my diet and a stronger commitment to exercise would do. This week’s BP was 108/70. My snoring has also gotten better and I’m sleeping like a baby!"

"Before starting, I thought I was reasonably fit. I really wasn’t sure it was possible to gain muscle and increase overall fitness. I was completely mistaken. My weight is down 9 lbs, saw my doc this past Friday and my cholesterol is down 80 points (that’s not a typo), and my cardiac risk went from 3.5 to 1.6. He asked me to send him a link to this program so he can “get into shape."

“My PST has improved, and my swimming endurance is amazingly better. I have developed good habits for portion control, resisting sugars, working out faithfully, and visually and mentally plowing through things I once thought impossible.”
