Online, December 6, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Tucson residents Tyler and Mimi Ford won the Body by Vi Challenge™ and were named the Active Couple Champions by ViSalus, Inc., the company behind the #1 90-Day weight-loss and fitness challenge platform in North America. The company announced 21 new Body by Vi Champions before a crowd of nearly 9,000 at its annual National Success Training event held November 15-17, 2013 in Atlanta.

Winners are chosen based on results achieved during their personal 90-Day Challenge (50%), personal story of their transformation (25%) and a community vote (25%). Their compelling story helped them win the Champion title.

"Our 90-Day Challenge was to compete in the Leadville 100 Mountain Bike Race in under 12 hours, which is an epic event and definitely a challenge," said Mimi Ford. "We achieved our goal - Tyler finishing in 9 hours and 20 minutes and I finished in 10 hours, 20 minutes."

"We're so proud of the discipline and hard work our Champions put into The Challenge to achieve their personal goals," said Ryan Blair, ViSalus Co-Founder and CEO. "It's beyond rewarding to see so many people taking on The Challenge and sharing their achievements with others. We hope these new Champions inspire even more people to go for their personal best in life."
