Weekly Results & Prizes

It's finally done. The final weigh-in is complete and, amazingly, it came down to the wire. Sometimes I laugh about things like this, because I really thought that Gary had a big enough lead going into this final week, that he would pull it out easily. But congratulations to this year's winner, Gary Olson of Fennimore, who lost, and yes he lost this much, 66.75lbs of weight which comes out to 22.51% of his body weight. I can honestly say, I am proud to see the transformation Gary has made. He says he is going to keep it up. But he wasnt the only one making changes in their body.

I have listed the top 10 (those who weighed in) below and the total % of weight lost. I have pictures of a lot of them, both before and after. They all should be proud. The full list of winners is below for prizes. I will be contacting each of you. But to me, each of you who stuck with this through the entire contest are winners. So thank you for sticking with me for the 15 weeks. By the way, this year we lost 1341.5lbs as a group. Not too shabby. Do the math, that is basically 10 lbs/person. We did have 30 out of the 134 that weighed in 1 time or less, so perhaps we lost more. Who knows. Also, weigh-in #8 was won by #6 winner Amber McLimans who lost over 4% of her weight again. Amazing job Amber!
