Artists’ challenge to lose weight
Popular DJ Lady Lea and Parkrand resident (also tattoo artist), Candi McLaren Lewis, have challenged each other to the Battle of the Artists Ultimate Weight Loss Challenge.
Their big weight-loss will be revealed on October 25, at Trotters Pub and Grill, in Impala Park.
“The challenge started on July 1, when Lea and I weighed in at the same weight. We were desperate to lose weight due to our media spotlight and image, and also to lead by example with all our (social media) followers,” says Lewis.
They subsequently took the opportunity to challenge others through social media to lose weight and eat clean. They further nominated charities that were rewarded with donations by their followers.
“My charity is Irwin Animal Rescue Centre. All proceeds of our ticket sales for the October 25 event, after set-up cost deductions, will be split between my and Lady Lea’s charities.
“The challenge has truly been inspirational for us, as well as all of our wonderful followers.”
Lewis’ personal trainer and Fusion Fitness owner, Carlos Caetano, is her inspiration. She trains with him personally, and attends his Boxfit class twice daily.
She has followed an eating guideline, which has helped her lose 14 kg. The ladies were also provided with Garmin Fitbit bands to track their progress.
At the big reveal, they will walk the ramp in cocktail attire, revealing their new slender bodies, and the final weigh-in revealing their total kilogrammes lost.
