And The Winners Are...

One of the top ten best things in life...celebrating the success of people you love! I got to do that last night! The grand finale of the "CAMP OUT" Team Challenge was, as usual, an outstanding event! We laughed, we cried and we gave away some money! It was fun!

I have some great weight loss to report so here goes.


FOR THE SPRING TEAM CHALLENGE 2012

Male with the greatest weight loss:            Gabe F. with 49.5 pounds ( Ron K. close behind, 49.0 lbs.)

Female with the greatest weight loss:         Ruth E. with 54.9 pounds

Male with the greatest % of weight loss     Bass L. with 19.18 % of weight loss

Female with the greatest % of weight loss Ami T. with a 19.57% of weight loss

Congratulations to all of you for outstanding individual success!

 And now our winning Teams:

1st place with a % of 20.20  Team "Bubblicious" Ami and Ruth! (sisters...I love that)

2nd place with a % of 19.65 "The Aunts Go Marching 2 X 2" Bev and Barb! (sisters...I love that)

3rd place with a % of 18.64 "Sheddin' For The Weddin'" Bass and Shanna (engaged...I love that)

Congratulations to our top three teams! You all worked hard and should feel really proud of what you've accomplished in the last 10 weeks!  I love seeing families get healthy together. The ripple effect is awesome when that happens!

Our Alumni group (powerful group of people) came together and decided to sponsor one client for the Summer Team Challenge beginning in July. They chose Ruth E. who without their sponsorship would not have been able to continue on the program.  They saw in her the commitment to the program and wanted to make sure that she was able to continue on to reach her goal!
Thank you Alumni for such a wonderful gesture. Your financial gift and your presence at our Team Challenge makes such a big difference! We love you guys!

Many milestones were reached at this Team Challenge and it was a joy to hear about them last night. We also heard testimonies from clients who's lives have been transformed because of their participation in the program.  I don't find anything as motivating as that!

We wrapped up our 12th Team Challenge by throwing out a little challenge! From last night until July 24th when they officially weigh in for the summer Team Challenge, every client who loses 8 pounds will be entered into a drawing for a $100 visa gift card! One at our noon gathering and another at 6!   Every client who is serious about permanent life change will be in that drawing...I'm sure of it!

Even though we are looking forward to and already planning the details of our OLYMPIC Team Challenge in July, it's always hard for me to say goodbye to a group of people that I've walked with for the last 11 weeks. They have been a positive, supportive, generous group of campers! I've love spending time with them.

I want to give a special thank you to our Alumni group for their enthusiasm and great support of the Team Challenge. We LOVE it when the room is full of ORANGE power!

To all of you who donated the wonderful prizes during these last 10 weeks! Thank you! You are one of the reasons the program is so inspiring and fun!

To Ranger Rikki (Glenda)...a GREAT BIG THANK YOU for all you do for all of us! Thank you for keeping track of the thousands of numbers! Thank you for somehow taking the time to make us ALL feel loved. And thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge with us week after week. You help us be better people...and we are grateful!

We are ending this CAMP OUT Team Challenge with a real camp out this weekend. I'm really looking forward to sitting around the campfire with all of you.

I hope that I see most of you next Tuesday at noon or 6 for a great class taught by me and Glenda...you won't want to miss it.

Love to you all my happy campers...see you at the fire pit!

Always encouraging you,
Letha
