Thank you to all our winners and everyone who participated in the Find Your Path Photo Contest. We loved hearing about your journeys to finding your path!

You all gave the most helpful advice to your fellow Care Bears! Let’s recap:

“My advice would be to start small if it all gets too scary and stressful…It can get overwhelming, so don’t be afraid to just dip a toe in instead of doing a cannonball.” – Seth

“No matter how busy your lifestyle carving out some “me” time is essential! You only get one body to take care of.” – Nobella

“Find the exercise and nutrition goals that work for you, remember you are unique and so are your goals.” – Soraya

“Make one change and positive habit a week. It will make all the difference in keeping the path once you find your path.” – Casey

“Take any opportunity to be active because in the end, it will benefit you and it will make you a better person for the people around you.” – Lindsey

“Don’t lose hope or get discouraged when something doesn’t go as planned. Do this for you and no one else!” – Kristen

Whether you use the fit52 app, copy recipes from Find Your Path, or blast Carrie’s music for an exercise boost, we are so proud of the work you do to live the Fit52 Life that best benefits YOU. We love celebrating your accomplishments and hope you continue to encourage each other to be the best versions of yourself.

Congratulations to Kristen, this month’s winner of the FIND YOUR PATH Photo Contest! Learn more about Kristen’s journey to finding her path below.

How has Carrie motivated you to find your path and live the Fit52 Life? I am always in awe over the things Carrie accomplishes as a mother of two. It inspires me to persevere with the same mentality! I am a mother of two as well, and I can assure you the days are long, tiring and I’m not always feeling motivated. However, she has truly paved a path of clarity for me! Getting my family involved, like she does, has been awesome and a fun experience! Stay the path is an amazing slogan. You can truly have your path be customized to you and your own needs/desires. Thank you for being so motivational and inspiring Carrie!

What is your favorite part of Carrie’s new book, FIND YOUR PATH?
Honestly, my favorite part was getting to see so many new pictures we’ve never seen that give us a glimpse into her path, her family life, and her business life. I loved the recipe she shared for the “Nicecream!”

What advice do you have for other Care Bears that want to find their path?
Pave your OWN path! Make it a small goal that’s achievable to help motivate you. Then CRUSH that goal and keep going! Don’t lose hope or get discouraged when something doesn’t go as planned. Do this for you and no one else!
