Dana DLB - 10 Weeks to Habit
About this challenge
They say it takes on average 66 days for a behavior to turn into a habit. Something that you do automatically without thinking. Something that you do with out the need for motivation. You do it because it as much a part of your daily life as brushing your teeth.
Over the next 10 weeks, we will be doing just that, creating healthy habits for ourselves to transform for entire life. Habits are created out of repetition, so you will be creating a set of guidelines for yourself to stay on track and working towards your overall goal. And I will be there every step of the way with our daily training, weekly community live calls, and constant support and Q&A along the way. My goal here is to hopefully never see you enter a Transformation Challenge ever again. I hope that through this challenge and our focus on creating habits that will stick with you far past the end of this challenge. So you will continue to progress through consistency.
This is NOT a weight loss challenge. This is a 10 week total body composition change. Not everyone has the same goals, some looking to lose weight some looking to add muscle size or leanness. Whatever your goal is, I am looking for the overall greatest physical transformation!
Lets make 2023 the year of actual change...The evolution of the new you!! You have nothing to lose from signing up for this challenge except some extra pounds. LFG and crush this year!!!

🥇 How to enter & win
This is a transformation challenge, not just a weight loss challenge. I'm looking for overall total-body transformation. Whatever your goal is, that is what you will work towards. While working towards your goal, you will also be working towards creating healthy habits for yourself to help your transformation — habits that, even after this challenge is over, you will continue because it's part of your lifestyle. You will no longer need to be motivated to do something, because you will do it out of habit.
No matter what happens, there is nothing to lose here — except a few extra pounds. Habits create consistency. Consistency create discipline. Discipline gets you to the finish line!!! LFG!!!!!

Tips for taking progress pictures:
-
1
Full Body (head to toes in full frame). DO NOT take photos in mirrors. Have someone else take them or get a tripod. The more seriously you take these, the more helpful they will be to you!
-
2
Use the Same Pose. Must have front, side and rear full body pose. Do same exact pose for your before photo and your after photo. You can’t compare a relaxed pose to a flexing pose, not the same.
- Front Pose: stand relaxed with arms at your sides
- Side Pose: turn directly to the side with arms raise straight out in front or at your side (your choice)
- Back Pose: stand relaxed with arms at your sides
- *Optional: Your Best Pose: You may choose to do a flexing photo for this. Either front double bicep or back double bicep. To show off your hard work.
- Front Pose: stand relaxed with arms at your sides
-
3
Take them at the same time of day. Do them first thing in the morning so you have no variables and you can really judge your progress weekly.
-
4
Take them in the same location, with same lighting, and clutter free background. Lighting I think is most important. Taking pics at the gym under fluorescent lights is going to looks very different then taking them at home in natural light. Find a nice natural light that is NOT too drastic. Natural light will give you more honest results. Find a plain blank wall in your house and always stand in the same exact location!
-
5
Wear the same outfit. I think wearing the same outfit is helpful because when your body actually starts transforming, that outfit will start fitting you different which can be great tool!
- Females: bathing suit or sport bra and shorts.
- Males: shirtless and shorts
-
6
Download a collage app. Compare your pictures side by side utilizing a collage app weekly to check on your progress. Put your oldest photo to the left and your newest photo to the right in the same poses to really clearly see your progress. You will need to have a collage app for the final submissions.
