Hey IgniteGirls!

Are you ready for our next challenge? We are! This is our THIRD annual Sugar Momma Challenge! A few years ago, I started this challenge within our group of members as a way to educate them on reading labels, to show them how to identify hidden sugars and to re-motivate them as the Summer came to a close.

A few of our previous winners include IgniteGirl Holly, who lost a total of 16.5″ and 12 pounds off her body, over a 19 week period that included the 30-day Sugar Momma Challenge. These pictures show her progression. You can also see the changes in her body from week 15 through week 19 specifically from completing the SMC!

Another one of our winners, IgniteGirl Melia, lost 11 pounds and 5″ during the SMC, which made her total weight loss 21 pounds since she was also a member of IgniteGirls+.

And this is one of our other winners that we featured in a previous Motivation Monday post, IgniteGirl Emily T.! Check out these awesome results. Emily also told us that this jump-started her entire fitness journey and she kept going even after the challenge, reaching her pre-pregnancy weight! Her next goal? A six pack.

So what is the Sugar Momma Challenge?
You will go sugar-free for 30 days. (Um, what?!) Yes, SUGAR-FREE! You can do 30 days of anything! And when you sign up for this free challenge, you will receive sugar-free recipes, an accountability calendar that you can download and print to help you every single day and motivation to get you through these upcoming 30 days.
