The Week One Weigh-in is complete. A grand total of 62.5 pounds were lost. That’s an average of 3 pounds per person that weighed-in this morning.
The highest percentage weight lost award goes to Jeff Hanson at 4.09%. Jeff says his secret to success is that he quit smoking at the same time. Crazy! Jeff also is tracking goals he set for calories and exercise. All that paid off with an 8.5 pound loss for the week. Michelle Adrian, Kevin Phipps and John Pohlman all passed the 3% threshold as well. Nicely done! Jeff plans to use his $20 in prize cash to buy his old smoking buddies a pack of cigs.
Most steps travelled goes to John Pohlman at 68,001. John’s goal is 10,000 steps per day. (There were only 6 days in Week One.) He’s getting them by walking the dogs and jogging on the treadmill. He says the pedometer is such a great motivator he’s going to purchase a higher-quality unit. John’s earnings of $20 should cover the cost. Jeff Hanson logged the 2nd most steps with 64,000. The Judge came in third with 51,000. Rumor has it that Melody Morton was in the 60,000 plus range as well but she opted out of this week’s weigh-in. I see a grueling weekly battle developing between Morton, Pohlman & The Floating Brain.
The special Judge’s Award for this week goes to Korena Keys for creating the program. Nearly everyone lost weight and the pedometer has become a great motivator for many.
See you at Coyote Canyon.
