Partner Weightloss Challenge Winners

You are ALL winners as far as I am concerned! We started with 7 unofficial teams, and ended with 3 teams by the time June 6th rolled around! Whether the competitors won in weekly totals or weightloss, everyone walked away with something positive. Even if it was a refocused attitude on food choices, a realization of the need to get more sleep or increase water intake, accoutability, or camaraderie: it worked! Congrats to all who gave it a try and a BIGGER congrats to our finishers!! Sheila and Els! (the Winners!!) Diane and her daughter, Meryl! Tracy and her husband, Jim! Here are the results from the 4-week challenge: Sheila and Els won in weekly points: 91 point/week average Diane and Merly were a close 2nd with 87 point/week average (points were earned daily by food intake, water, sleep, and exercise; they were totaled for the week, and then averaged with their partner for a week total) Weightloss Champs were also Sheila and Els with a combined weightloss of 17.2 pounds!! Sheila lost 11 pounds Els lost 6.2 pounds Tracy and Jim lost a combined total of 11 pounds! Jim lost 9 pounds Tracy lost 2 pounds Diane and Meryl lost a combined 7 pounds! Diane is down another 6 pounds from this challenge and when you combine that number with the 2011 Fall Contest number, now weighs less than she did in high school!! Way to go Diane! Inches lost: The only data I have is from Els and Sheila, so here goes: Sheila lost 1" in the chest; 2.75" in the waist; and 1.25" in the hips Els lost 1.2" in the chest; 1.2" in the waist; 2.4" in the hips (Remember, Els was one of the big winners in inches lost in the Fall contest as well! Awesome! I am so proud of all of you! We will have another weight loss challenge in the Fall. Keep an eye out for it!
