In week five:
- John Pohlman “Steels” the weight-loss award
- Melody Morton gallops (Broncos reference) to the pedometer award
- Jeff Hanson misses the weigh-in
The details are brought to you by this week’s sponsor, Carnaval Brazilian Grill.
In the weight loss contest Pohlman was heard humming “The Steelers Victory March” as he stepped on the scale. After last week’s Super Bowl diet setback he annihilated the field with a gaudy 2.31% loss this week. The closest followers were The Judge at 1.39%, Derek Soukup at 1.26% and Courtney Lotzer at 1.05%. This week’s grand total of 8.5 pounds lost paled in comparison to last week’s 22.5 pounds. Obviously we missed Hanson’s contribution.
The contestants still in the “Judge’s Club” by avoiding posting weight gains in any week are: Julie Flannery Allen, Korena Keyes, Molly Daniel, Nikki Gronli, Billie Jo Waara, Derek Soukup, Hanson, Jeremy Peters, Scott Lawrence and The Judge.
Morton earned this week’s pedometer championship by breaking the century mark with 112,596 steps. The accomplishment left her wondering how in the heck Hanson hit nearly 142,000 last week.
Morton was most closely followed by fellow centurion Jeremy Peters (100,517), Pohlman (91,981), The Judge (82,871), Kristy Anderson (82,608) and Sarah Rindels (81,631).
Total steps this week were down about what Hanson usually contributes to 847,407.
The Carnaval Brazilian Grill watch is on The Floating Brain this next week. How strong will he be able to come back?
Reset your pedometers and let the week six contest begin.
