IRLA Pack: Weight Loss

Take Our Weight Loss Challenge and Reward Your Progress Can't fit into your favorite jeans or skirt anymore? Your doctor warned you to lose weight or your health is at risk? There’s no more important journey you’ll start than the first step in caring for your health. That’s an achievement in itself. Weight influences everything in your body: sleep, joint pain, stress, allergies, libido, memory, immune system, and more. Weight loss challenges are the worst. Change is mentally and emotionally painful. You're admitting you've made some mistakes. You're committing to a future of diligence and different habits, from diet and exercise to stressors at work or home. You have to look yourself in the mirror every day, and progress is so slow, the changes so small day to day, you feel like your scale must be lying to you about all you've accomplished. We say a weight loss challenge doesn't have to be that way. Reward yourself with our IRLA Weight Loss challenge medal. What are IRLA challenge medals? Our line of In Real Life Achievement awards, or IRLAs, lets you set goals in a variety of interests and reward yourself for milestones on your way to total mastery. IRLA challenge medals are visual reminders of the challenges you've faced and defeated. You can show off your IRLA Weight Loss challenge medal in its own stand, use multiple stands to display all the minor weight loss challenges leading up to it, wear your challenge medal in a necklace, and wear any (or all!) of your minor challenge medals, too. Take our other physical fitness challenges, too. Our running challenges push your limits as a runner and a racer. Get lean and lift weights with our strength training challenges. And if you're drinking more water in your weight loss routine than you used to, give yourself medals for water drinking challenges. We've got more IRLA challenge medals than just physical fitness. Give yourself an IRLA for reading challenges to broaden your literary horizons and make books a bigger part of your life. Unplug all your devices for a digital detox. Our IRLA virtual challenge medals make great gifts for adulting, too, like filing taxes, setting up a retirement account, and cooking your own meals for a week. See all our IRLA challenge medals! What weight loss challenges must I complete? Sometimes losing is the best way to win. Lose 5 pounds Lose 10 pounds Lose 15 pounds Stay within your dietary goals for 30 days Reach your goal weight Each challenge brings you a step closer to where you want to be. Can I make my own weight loss challenges? Our IRLA Weight Loss challenge medal is for people starting a weight loss routine, or already working to reach their goal weight, or maintaining their goal weight, and more. Have you already lost five pounds or ten pounds in your weight loss challenge? Use your IRLA challenge medals to lose more. If you've lost the weight you set out to lose -- maintain it! Abstain from your favorite foods for a week, two weeks, or 30 days, and award yourself for the five pounds you would have put on if you hadn't. Add your own obstacles to your weight loss challenge. No cheat days for a month. Exercise twice as long or twice as hard. No diet drinks, just water. It's your journey. Now walk it! How do IRLA challenges work? When you accept our IRLA challenges, you receive a box of four minor challenges and the last major challenge for the complete set. Use your phone to scan your Introductory IRLA and get our IRLA app, where you can track your progress and compare your goals with a like-minded community. Open each IRLA as you complete your challenges! Are there other IRLA challenges? What do you want to experience, achieve, track, or improve? Choose your challenge awards!
