17 competitors fought hard in our 6 week Biggest Loser Challenge! Just a reminder that you should not weigh yourself on a regular basis. Success should be based on how you feel, how your clothes are fitting and remember not to get discouraged. Just because the 6 week Challenge is up does not mean you should stop. Keep it up because you have just started your Journey!
The challenge was not just about the weight loss or the scale, it was about lifestyle changes, feeling better about yourself and making healthy changes. The real success is in your mood, energy and increased self esteem and awareness. It is about believing in yourself and knowing that you CAN achieve it. Being healthy and fit is a journey, not an immediate fix.
And the Winner is…
1st Place prize:
Sandee Clairmont with a total of 8.94% of body and weight lost 16.8 lbs lost
Prize won: $250 Fit4Females Gift Certificate and $166 cash for the penalty weigh in pod. Sandee has been a long time member at Fit4Females. Like all of us, Sandee got consumed with work, being a mom and finding a balance and so she put her workouts on the back burner. In February, she decided enough was enough, joined the challenge to be motivated and came back to classes. Needless to say we are excited to have her incredible energy in class and so excited for her journey back to making her health a priority. She will be sweating out with the ladies in night classes. Please be sure to congratulate her.
Congrats Sandee!
