Who will be the Biggest Loser?

Eight people who were beyond frustrated at their inability to take off weight have just four more weeks before Auburn’s Biggest Loser is named and someone wins a one-year membership to the Courthouse Athletic Club. The 2nd challenge will take place on Saturday, May 24th. Brad Childs from the Wilderness Institute in Colfax, has donated his time and will be leading the group through a ropes course. The winner will be given a year's supply of Wrigley's Extra gum. Thank you Wrigleys!!

Wondering what the grand total is...160 lbs!! Absolutely incredible!! Here is the latest article from the Auburn Journal: http://www.auburnjournal.com/detail/84139.html?content_source=&category_id=&search_filter=blsection&list_type=&order_by=&order_sort=&content_class=1&sub_type=&town_id=6

135 lbs and half way through...

Yes, you read it correctly!! The "Losers" have lost 135 lbs in just 6 weeks. Last week's highlights: we went to Graceful Health http://www.gracefulhealth.com/ a wellness center in Newcastle. They allowed us to hold our weekly bootcamp on their beautiful grounds. We were then invited to a wellness seminar that left us feeling relaxed and rejuvinated. A lunch of raw and living foods followed. What a great expierence. Thank you Dr. Andrew Downey and Dr. Naomi Downey!!

This week's hightlights: Marty Jacobs, cerified yoga instructor, lead us through a wonderful yoga class on Saturday morning in place of our regular bootcamp. Diana Westin won this week's weigh in. Kim Palaferri is in the lead with 10.65% of body weight lost.

Stay tuned for the results from this week's weigh in and the next challenge...
