Winter Shape Up: Total Lbs Lost
I’m a sucker for the way The Biggest Loser flaunts their success stories. So I’m about to do the same thing! You amazing Winter Shape Uppers lost a total of:
94 98 102 POUNDS!!!!! (Got another update! Ahh, we broke 100!)
That’s a huge number! Even though this challenge wasn’t solely about weight loss (it was about setting and achieving goals), many of you guys managed to change your habits… which led to weight loss. And the whole time, most of you were going through major life changes. In the course of the challenge, one of you
- got a new job
- got engaged
- experienced the passing of a close family member
- got pregnant
- broke up with a long-term boyfriend
- learned of a loved one’s cancer diagnosis
- prepared for her wedding
- transferred schools
You proved that health and fitness isn’t a separate journey… it can be part of your life journey. Alright, that was cheesy, but you guys showed that you don’t have to ship off to some fitness camp to lose weight or break bad habits!
I want to thank you all for participating in the challenge, despite all the other stuff going on in your life. And congrats! I’m going to post another update later in the week, and of course, announce the grand prize winner on 12/28.
