Courtney was by far the most
honest member of the 12-person pilot group of the State of Slim. In the first
class, she openly admitted to feeling overwhelmed and at Halloween, she
confessed to eating off-limits candy.
Throughout the 16 weeks, we
had long discussions about all of our challenges, and Courtney never held back; her honesty undoubtedly helped create a sense of solidarity within the group.
Her courage to show her weakness was refreshing, and I think it inspired all of
us to be open with each other, and honest with ourselves.
In spite of some setbacks, Courtney succeeded
in losing 13 pounds, and is close to achieving her goal weight. Courtney is
currently leading a group of State of Slimmers at her church and has been
active in recruiting employees for the State of Slim Campus Challenge.

If you are interested in participating in the Colorado Diet, check out the book on Amazon (if doing independently) or see the options available at the Anschutz Health and Wellness Center (if you live in the Denver area).
Great job Courtney!! I joined the challenge and starte 2 weeks ago. I just finished Phase I and am down 12.5 so far. The first phase went by really quickly. I liked a lot of the recipes from the book, especially the Pumpkin pancakes. I am still trying to master the Chocolate Cheesecake muffins. They haven't turned out too well in the muffin tins but they taste good. I think the biggest thing that has helped is making and preparing everything ahead of time and packing everything I need for the day. I have been so full from eating 6 times a day that I haven't had to go to the gift shop for a bad snack. I just started phase II and haven't weighed in yet.
