Scott, Amy and Brennan Chandler had tried everything from fad diets to high priced nutrition experts, but the results were always the same frustration. Scott and Amy were overweight, drained, and unhappy. To make matters worse, their teenage son Brennan had struggled with his weight for most of his childhood, and they were about to give up as a family.

We were up against the clock. I wanted to instill some healthy eating habits in my son and get his weight down before he graduated from high school, Amy recalls. He needed to know how to take care of his body before he moved out on his own and not just let it go. I was so worried that we had run out of time.

The Body by Vi™ Introduction
The day that Amy and Brennan visited a relative was the day that changed everything. Amy's cousin introduced them to The Challenge and its great-tasting products. Brennan said, Mom, "I can do this", and they started their first 90-Day Challenge that very day.

Amy and Brennan's transformations began almost immediately. In just one week of using the Transformation kit, Brennan dropped eight pounds. After one month, all of his back fat was gone. Amy also lost eight pounds her first week and gained a burst of energy.

"Before The Challenge, I had no motivation," Amy confesses. I needed to take a nap in the middle of the day just to keep up with my three boys at home. Today, I have tons of energy. I'm feeling better and better.

Thirty days into The Challenge, Scott saw a picture of his son from day one to day 30, and was stunned by his progress. Encouraged by Amy and Brennan's awesome results, Scott jumped in full throttle and never looked back. "I went from skeptic to Vi-believer in one month."

The Goals
The Chandler family turned to the Body by Vi Challenge to achieve various weight-loss and health goals. Brennan used to struggle and breathe heavily just to climb a flight of stairs; his goal was to lose body fat. Amy wanted to drop 15 pounds and Scott wanted to fit into his favorite pair of jeans again.

A few weeks into the Body by Vi Challenge, Brennan shared a life-changing moment with Amy when he realized, "Mom, I can see my feet!"

I'm so proud of my son, Amy says. To make a commitment at 15 when all your friends are at the drive-thru is such a daunting task it's so much harder at his age than ours.

She continues, "It's such a benefit for the whole family to do The Challenge together because there's a built-in support system at home."

The Transformation
Amy ended up losing 40 pounds on the Body by Vi&trad; Challenge, and Scott went from a 38-inch waist to a size 32. Brennan's transformation has kick-started a metamorphosis beyond the physical.

"My body fat has dropped from 40% to 18%. I'm no longer tired, and I have so much energy!" Brennan raves. There are lots of awesome changes. But my favorite part of completing The Challenge is the boost in my self-esteem and confidence."

"We started doing this to support our son, and we got healthy in the process, too, adds Scott. "We ended up changing our whole family and our whole lifestyle. It's been a night-and-day difference.

The Reactions
The Chandlers' friends are stunned by the outcome. Seeing is believing, and thanks to their family's impressive results, more of their friends are joining The Challenge every day.

"We've been getting our products free for months because everybody sees how The Challenge has changed our lives, and they want to get on board." says Amy.

"People see what we've done together and they are amazed," adds Scott. "The great thing is, we're real people. And if we can do it, then anybody can do it!"
