These Were Outstanding Summer Games!

Our first place team extinguished the Olympic torch last night as we officially closed out these summer games! The last ten weeks were truly life changing for many of our Olympians!

We celebrated with 10 Olympians who, in the last ten weeks, hit their 100 pound weight loss mark! Congratulations to Tim E., Bev H., Anita P., Peggy S. and Barbara B.  You are the example of what perseverance really looks like! You have shown us that you have the Olympic spirit living inside of you! We are so proud of you. Thank you for showing us that the race is not always to the swift...but to this who keep on running!

We had our final weigh-in's last night, took our after photos and heard from "Glenlock" one last time. We celebrated as our challengers received certificates for making the 20, 30, 40 and 50 pound clubs! Congratulations to all of you for such a terrific job in these last weeks!

We highlighted some special winners last night!
Male with the greatest weight loss: Brent S. with a 50 pound weight loss!
Female with the greatest weight loss: Gretchen F. with a 40.8 pound weight loss!

Male with the greatest weight loss %: Brent S. with 22.7%!!!
Female with the greatest weight loss %: Bev. H with 19.17%!!!

I gave out a couple of personal awards last night!

To Annie Banceu...the "Facebook Friend" award, for always being such a great source of inspiration to our closed Facebook group. Thanks Annie!
To Peggy Schwartz..."Most Inspirational" Peggy not only hit her 100 pound mark during this Team Challenge, but she has inspired us all with her amazing life adventure! During this Team Challenge she went on a two week bike ride in France! Congratulations and thank you Peggy...you're showing us what it looks life to live a compelling life!!!!

Our Alumni went over the top last night with their THREE full ride scholarships to the fall Team Challenge and a $100 prize for the winner of the perfect attendance drawing! Alumni, we love you!

They presented Tim Elliott, Gretchen Fretwell and Karmee Crockett with gift certificates that surprised them all! Three very deserving Olympians are going to continue on thanks to the generosity and inspiration of our Amazing Alumni! Tim E. won the $100 drawing too! What a great night for Tim!

Brent and Chris, I LOVE IT when a husband and wife Team compete and win the Team Challenge! It's life changing! You look amazing! And Brent, we look forward to seeing the photos of you running your 1/2 marathon with your daughter!!

It takes me a few days after the finale of each Team Challenge to come back down to the ground! One of my favorite things to do, is celebrate peoples success and I get to do it every ten weeks at The Healthy Weigh!  It was a powerful night and I'm so proud of all of you.

Our Summer games were a great success. The flame is extinguished, but the memories of these games will last a life time!

Always encouraging you,
Letha
