Our Fall 2024 Challenge Winner, Hallie!

CONGRATS, HALLIE!

I found CSE about six years ago when I purchased my first recipe book–the fall edition. I’m embarrassed to admit that ever since then I’ve attempted many challenges, but never followed through–until now!! At the beginning of the Fall Challenge, I was just two months postpartum from having my third baby and not happy with the way I looked or felt. Although I gave myself grace for just having a baby, I knew I needed a change!  

I had always wanted to complete a CSE Challenge, and I knew now was the time. Starting something is always the hardest part, but when I saw the mantra for the fall challenge, “nothing changes if nothing changes,” I was motivated to go all in! I kept reminding myself of that over the past seven weeks and I have noticed and felt changes in myself that I’m so proud of. 

I lost 12 lbs and a total of 11 inches! And I’ve gained healthy habits that I know will keep carrying me toward my goals. This is the best that I’ve felt being only 4 months postpartum, and I am just getting started! I wish it wouldn’t have taken me so long to complete a challenge, but I will definitely be back for more. Nothing changes, if nothing changes!!!
