Week #8 & Final Results

I am so grateful to all of you for letting me be part of your journey to a healthier you.  I am proud of everyone who gave this challenge his or her best effort during the last eight weeks.  We saw some amazing results, so let's get to them:

First, the week 8 results were great!  35 of you got 95% or more of your weekly points.  Three people lost at least 4 pounds: CINDY WILKINSON, JEREMIAH MARTIN, and SHAUNA MARTIN!  And the three pound losers were Ben Heiner, J. Clark Gardner, Suzanne Holloway, and Trenna Howell.  I'm very happy to see the strong commitment at the end.

Week 8 Team Results:
1st Place - GREEN
2nd Place - PURPLE
3rd Place - BLUE
4th Place - RED
5th Place - ORANGE

Those who lost at least 4 inches in the last four weeks were Amy Bateman, Anita Slaugh, Ben Heiner, Jeanette Jorgensen, Katie Jennings, Romi Kimball, Shauna Martin, Stacy Chandler, and Trenna Howell.

Now, on to the final results.  The final team standings and point totals are:
1st Place - GREEN (17,042)
2nd Place - PURPLE (16,076)
3rd Place - RED (15,651)
4th Place - BLUE (15,437)
5th Place - ORANGE (13,438)

The person who lost the biggest percentage of body weight in the last eight weeks was BEN HEINER with 14.5%!!!!  Absolutely Amazing!  I also want to mention a few others who lost a significant amount of weight: Jeremiah Martin (13.2%), Shauna Martin (12.8%), Stacy Chandler (12.8%), Tiffany Hamilton (11.8%), Desiree Stegelmeier (9.8%), Mary Ann Lyons (9.7%), Trenna Howell (9.3%), Amy Bateman (9.3%), and Thurman Heiner (9.1%).

There was a four-way tie for the highest total of the weekly scores for the last eight weeks.  The following four people all had perfect weekly scores: Kali Hathaway, Mandie Borg, Stacy Chandler, and Tiffany Hamilton.

Many of you showed such tremendous dedication.  I appreciate your efforts to motivate one another, which helped me to stay disciplined as well.  I wish you all the best.  Thanks for participating.  I've loved every minute of it.
