RESULTS FROM LAST NIGHT!
Wow! What a great night it was! So much energy and so much weight lost!! 831.3 pounds to be exact!!!
The evening started with the weigh ins and was followed by instructions and rules regarding the challenges.
The challenges were based on balance, strength (push ups), nutritional knowledge, and speed (relay race) There were to be 3 people from each team competing in each challenge and everybody HAD to compete in at least one!
You know, all along these people have been working with their teams and their assigned trainer and have really gotten comfortable with one another. The trainer by now knows each of them very well...strengths, weaknesses, etc. Well, we threw a little "curve ball" at them regarding how we were going to "team up" for the challenges. All the teams stood in rows and we counted out 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 and then gave the trainers numbers 1-8. You were now a team number instead of a color! All the 1's went with trainer 1, all the 2's went with trainer 2, and so on. They then had 10 minutes to figure out who was doing what challenge.
It turned out to be a lot of fun AND it gave the participants a chance to mix with people and trainers from other teams.
NOW to the final top 10 results from the weigh ins...
and remember, this is based on weight loss PERCENTAGE.
#10 - Christine Koutrakos - 8.44%
tie #9 - Rakale Smith - 8.79%
tie #8 - Scarlette Herbkersman - 8.79%
#7 - Chris Daly - 9.14%
#6 - Inga Borkowski - 9.18%
#5 - Lynn Peterson - 9.72%
#4 - Billy Smith - 10.23%
#3 - Fran McFall - 11.22%
#2 - Krista DeLong - 11.36%
DRUM ROLL PLEASE...........

Who will be The Biggest Loser this Sunday?
This Sunday is our 1st weigh and challenge since our first weigh in on January 24! Let's see how they do in just 4 weeks! I know there has been a lot of extra "energy" in the gym with this group and it's going to be very exciting! Plus, we will have fantastic weather this weekend so some of the challenge just might be outside!
There will be prizes for the winning team of the challenge AND for the TOP 10 Biggest Losers. THE #1 Biggest Loser will take home a complimentary night in a Jacuzzi Suite with breakfast included at the Clarion Town House, a pair of cycling/spinning shoes from OutSpokin, a 1-hour Pure Relaxation Massage from Tonic, etc...
Remember our TOTAL beginning weight was 16,964 pounds and our Total "weight loss goal" for the entire group on April 17, is 2,393 pounds! The goal for Sunday based on this number should be at least 798 pounds!! More would be better because more weight it typically lost at the beginning and the levels out more as one goes on. Can we do it?!?

1st challenge is this Sunday!
Ok, the first challenge (and weigh in) is this Sunday. Weigh ins will be first followed by the challenge. Keep in mind that it is a HHAC rule that one MUST compete in the challenges to be eligible to win prizes for the week. In addition, if someone does not compete in a challenge for ANY reason he/she cannot be The Biggest Loser at the end of the program.
This week, the teams will see something different with the challenges. Not scary different, just different. They have all trained very hard and I am sure it will show on Sunday!
GOOD LUCK!!!

Our "local" NBC Biggest Losers!
Does anyone personally know this couple? I know that they both work at my Alumni, USC, but don't know how to get in touch with them! I would LOVE to meet them and get them to speak to our group of Biggest Losers!
