RECORD BREAKING TEAM CHALLENGE!


You did it! You broke the all time Team Challenge record! You had 93 pounds to lose yesterday...you lost 194! Congratulations to all of you!

What a night it was! After an outstanding 10 weeks, we celebrated victories last night!
We initiated our new space in a big way. We had over 120 in attendance last night to witness the final week of this Team Challenge!

Let's talk about some winners!!!
We had our final team wins at noon, 5 and 6:30. One last time teams were named winners for the week. At noon 'Barely Breathing' won with a 3.81 %. Donetta and Tanya gave it their all this week...and it paid off big time! With that % of weight loss, they also won the Glenda "Oops" award of $100!

At 5:00 'Team Gazelle 2.0' took the win with a 1.77%. Patty and Steve were celebrating more than just that win...Steve entered into one-der-land yesterday! You guys are an inspiration to so many!

At 6:30 team 'Tie Diet-ers' won with a 2.96% of weight loss. Up until last night, Cathy and Steve were the most consistent team without a win...they blew that out of the water this week! Congratulations you guys.

We had many awards to give out last night before we announced the winning teams for this challenge! Here's a look at some outstanding outcomes!

Female with the greatest weight loss: Rosie Lundquist 43 pounds!
Male with the greatest weight loss: Mark Cole 54 pounds!
Female with the greatest % of weight loss: Karen Glafka 21.52 % (greatest EVER)
Male with the greatest % of weight loss: Steve Gehlhausen 18.58%
Our team with the most weight loss was 'Slightly Waisted' with 84.2 pounds!

We were GREATLY inspired by a couple of donations this week... The client with the greatest % of weight loss this week, and the second greatest % of weight loss would win these amazing prizes! Two round trip air line tickets wherever Alaska flies donated by Denise Phillips, and 5 personal training sessions and two weeks of free classes at the Strada training and fitness club, donated by Amy Ruger, courtesy of her brother-in-law and owner of Strada, thanks Paul.
1st place for the week: Donetta delaRosa with a 4.90 % of weight loss!
2nd place for the week: Veleta Lundquist with a 4.63% of weight loss!

Congratulations to you both and thank you Denise and Amy for igniting the fuel in everyone this week!!

And now...our top three teams of this Team Challenge:
3rd place, winners of $300. Team 'Tie Diet-ers' Cathy and Steve 16.41%
2nd place, winners of $500. Team 'Slightly Waisted' Rosie and Veleta 17.38%

1st place, winners of $1000. Team 'Losers Are The New Winners' with a weight loss % of 18.54!!! Congratulations Karen and Cindy. You came in second place at the last Team Challenge and you fought through this one to take your place at the top of the podium! We're so proud of you! You look BEAUTIFUL!!

It was an amazing 10 weeks. MUCH was accomplished! People are losing weight, that's for sure but more importantly, lives are changing. I'm so proud of the effort of this group of people. To walk beside you as you support and encourage each other has been an honor! I'd feel little sad today, but I really don't have time for that! We've got a bridge to cross in the next two weeks and then we've got a Spring Team Challenge to begin on April 12th! Can't wait to see you then!

Happy trails to you, until we meet again...
With great love and encouragement,
Letha
