Girl Power!


Oh Yes...the ladies rocked the joint! So much to celebrate! So many to congratulate as we conclude the 4th season of this Healthy Weigh Team Challenge!

Let's start at noon when the 'Rockin RN's' took the win with a 1.75% of weight loss for the week! Cami and Terri, you have been impressive this whole Team Challenge. You have inspired others with your consistency and your weight loss!

We had a short visit at noon to share some testimonies and say goodbye, only to come back for the grand finale at 6PM. The contest for $1000 was hot and heavy by the time the noon teams had weighed in. 'Rockin RN's' and 'Family Thighs' were neck and neck!

At Six, the party started with after photos of all the teams, music, balloons and a little time to visit with the friends we've made over that last 10 weeks. We weighed in the teams and waited for Glenda to give us the final word!

The evening win and the prize for the day went to 'Kick Butt, Lose Gut' with a weight loss % of 3.04 for the week! Wow, Shonda and Alyssa, you poured it on this week to have a great finish! We thank Val from Team 'Fit Happens' for the beautiful gift of the week, gorgeous flower patio pots. Alyssa and Shonda will enjoy these as they continue to bloom over the summer. A great reminder of what they have done in these last 10 weeks.


So on with the final announcements...

In third place for our Spring Team Challenge with a weight loss % of 14.6 team 'Family Thighs' Congratulations Gena and Jenni...you should be so proud of your accomplishment these last weeks!

In second place with a weight loss % of 15.0 team 'Rockin RN's'! Terri and Cami, congratulations for an outstanding job!

And...drum roll please... In first place for this Spring Team Challenge team 'Kick Butt, Lose Gut'! Shonda and Alyssa won the Team Challenge with a weight loss % of 15.6!
I think the whole group was proud as our youngest member of the Team Challenge was part of the winning Team! $1000 was easy to hand over to these beautiful women! Shonda and Alyssa, we love you, we're proud of you, Congratulations!!!

That family kept up the winning with another great prize. Shonda lost the most weight for a returnee from the last Team Challenge...so was awarded $200 for that great accomplishment. she had a weight loss % of 17.63 this , her second team Challenge!

We had some other important awards to give out:

The most weight lost by a Male went to Pete Martin (48 pounds)
The greatest % of weight loss for a male went to Dale Hansen (15.1 %)
The most weight lost by a female went to Rosie Lundquist (37 pounds)
The greatest % of weight loss for a female went to Terri Schrater (19.4%)

It was another outstanding Team Challenge! It was a great thing to see the top 6 teams all female! Who says men lose faster than women?!

It's always hard to say goodbye to group of people who have supported each other, bonded with each other and really had fun together for the last 10 Tuesdays!
We closed out the Team Challenge with hugs, thank yous and testimonies...perfect ending for a great 10 weeks.

Congratulations to all of you who participated, completed the journey and are looking ahead to a continued life of health and wholeness.

I look forward to the Team Challenge that starts July 13th. We will be drawing for $100 prize to all the returnees who lose 4 pounds in the next 4 weeks between these team challenges!

Goodbye for now Team Challenge...I'll miss you in the weeks to come. Stay strong my friends...keep up the intensity...you can do it!

Always encouraging you,
Letha
