The competition has grown to perhaps the largest of its kind in the world, with over 6,000 entries from throughout the United States, Canada and several other countries in the 2012 competition.

The recently released Vemma 2.0 and Vemma Bod-e mobile apps were both recognized in the awards -- Vemma 2.0 with Platinum, and Vemma Bod-e with Gold.

The Vemma Bod-e 2.0 app features Heidi and Chris Powell, TV Celebrity Transformation Specialists and Vemma Bod-e Spokespeople. The app coaches participants on when and what to eat throughout the day, provides daily video tips and inspirational messages, and helps participants stay on track when they are away from home by suggesting healthy options at the nation's top 20 restaurant chains.
