Week #1 Results

Thank you, everyone, for reporting your points on time. We have some serious competitors, and this is going to be a tight race. In fact, 38 of you got 95% of your points and will be getting $2 back for all of your efforts last week. I am very impressed with how dedicated everyone has been so far.

Here's how the team scores broke out:
1st place - GREEN
2nd place - RED
3rd place - BLUE
4th place - PURPLE
5th place - ORANGE

The most amazing thing to me, however, was the individual weight loss. I think that anyone who loses at least 4 pounds in a week has accomplished a major feat. Well, 19 of you accomplished that last week (alphabetically by first name): Adrianne Wilson, Amy Bateman, Anita Slaugh, Ben Heiner, Cindy Wilkinson, Jeremiah Martin, Larry Wilson, Lindsay Gardner, Lorraine Hathaway, Mary Ann Lyons, Nicole Potts, Romi Kimball, Ryan Waite, Shauna Martin, Stacy Chandler, Suzanne Holloway, Teneille Averett, Tiffany Hamilton, and Trenna Howell. WOW! Fabulous job!

To those who didn't lose more than a pound or two, please remember that consistency pays off. This health challenge is not a diet. It is a combination of habits that make up a sensible lifestyle. We are aiming for long-term wellness, not another yo-yo diet plan. In seven months of health challenges, I was never listed as one of the people who lost the most weight in a week. But I still was able to reach my goals by consistently living these principles. You can do it, too. Keep at it, and your results will come.
