FIANLLY - The Contest Winner Is...

Well, after almost three months of waiting, it comes down to this...some girl named Shannon won the contest and not yours truly :(  Got the following email from the Athletic Club:

Good Morning,

I wanted to take the time and thank you for participating in the London Free Press Lose It Challenge. We have selected the overall winner, although I do not believe anyone lost throughout the journey.

The person selected by the selection committee is in fact Shannon Dartch.

 

I certainly would like to thank you for taking part and certainly wish you the best moving forward, it has been a memorable journey for everyone involved.

Kindest Regards,

Jay Wright

Senior Director of Personal Training

So CONGRATULATIONS to Shannon because she must have done amazing!  I thought I would be upset finding out someone else won, but actually it is just a relief to know that it is all over.  I don't think any of the 12 people would want to go back to the way we were at the beginning of September when this all began.

I know that for me it has been a pretty drastic change from then to now.  I look forward to going to the gym, I have lost over 20% body fat and I feel GREAT!  I got 24 free sessions with my trainer (who has the patience of a saint) and I always knew that I had great people in my life - but never really realized how great they were/are until this experience.  I am a pretty lucky kid!

So I have said it before, this journey is far from over - although at least I am well past the half way mark.  I am pretty proud of what I have accomplished so far, but couldn't have done it without all of you. 

Thank you for that!
