Biggest Loser

In August I had this idea that it might be beneficial to our community and for Ragnar and I to do a biggest loser competition in our community. I brought the idea to the board and they had already done the budget for the year, but were happy to let me host it and use their facility. So on September 15th we started the 90 day competition. We had 51 participants and each person put in $20 to participate. The money then at the end of the competition was given to the first, second, and third place winners. The competition was quite a bit of work for me, but it really helped me get going on losing the last few pounds and helped Ragnar start again. 

We had a weigh in every month and at the end we had a party to celebrate. As you can see from this picture...the end celebration was a flop! It was the week before Christmas and hardly anyone was able to make it.

I made medals to commemorate the first Biggest Loser Eagle Springs Edition winner. This was Kevin Alner who won losing 52 pounds. He lost 15.4% of his weight.

Here was our so so close second, Roy Castillo who lost 44 pounds and 15.2% of his body weight.

Our third place winner weighed in and couldn't stay. Courtney Leigh lost 12% of her body weight and did awesome. 
After all the work, I'm glad I did it. I lost 10 pounds and Ragnar 15, so it was a start in the right direction and we hopefully helped others in the process.
