STRIP Challenge Final Results

Well, STRIPPERS, you guys did it! You reduced those spare tires and then some. The results are in, and here's how you did:


7,109 POGs completed -- these are the baby steps you took towards a healthier you! That's 3-1/2 miles of baby steps. Over two-thirds of the total POGs (70%) were completed.

Just over 350 lbs lost -- that's as much as 35 - 10lb babies!

99.84 inches lost -- That's as many inches as the tallest man in the world is tall!

All the teams lost weight. 86% of individuals actually lost weight, while 6% were at a healthy weight, for a total weight-loss/maintenance number of 92%. That's ONE HOT "A"!!! The overall average weight lost was 2.69% of body weight per person.


So how did the individual teams do, and who were the winners?

GREATEST PERCENTAGE OF LOSS IN WAIST MEASUREMENTS

Belly Jelly's rocked the jello right off their middles with a stunning 12.55 inches lost. A husband and wife team took off ov er 7 inches together. The Belly Jelly's walk off with a sweet-tasting $300 for their team.


In second place were Keep It Simple, where another husband and wife team collaborated and also lost nearly 8 inches. The total loss for the team was 10.50 inches. Keep It Simple will share less muffin top and $150 as a team.


The lesson here is that when you do this together with your family, everyone is a winner!



Although this is a team challenge, here are the Top 10 STRIPPERS!
Congrats to you all -- you racked up some impressive numbers. We'd love for you to post your actual inches on Facebook.


Weight Loss


Okay, it's no surprise that The Paula Deen Fan Club ruled from the get-go and was determined to shed some abdominal adipose. Together, these co-workers/colleagues lost 5.77% of their total body weight. This team did a terrific job of sharing information and supporting each other throughout the contest. The team is based nationwide with participants in Florida, Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles. They are models for how you can be a fan of PD without the fat!


Congratulations, Paula Deen now Lean Club! Amy, Margot, Stephanie, Tom and Wendy all used the tools and feel a whole lot better -- watch for their winning interview, which will be up soon on YouTube.


This is what happens when you decide to join a wellness program after a few glasses of wine. Look for your $300 team prize in the mail.


In second place, we have the Rump Dumpers from across the pond. A 12-year-old, his dad, a granny and two sisters made up this team. The little guy lost just over 7lbs, and the old duckie lost 20lbs. The moral of the story is, this program is for any age. Congratulations to this South African-based team. They're signing up for the next one, too.


In third place, they're on a roll... but NOT a jelly roll -- the Belly Jelly's. Again, this husband and wife duo each lost just over 7% of their total body weight. They will each receive a $25 gift certificate to Runners High in Irvine, CA.


Again, although this was a team-based program, many indivdiuals shone with their weight loss and are now happily at their healthy weight. The two biggest percentage losers were both based abroad (SA and UK). The "granny" lost a total of 12.5% of her weight, while Margaret in the UK shed 10.34%. Way to go, gals -- bottoms up to you both!







These participants all lost more than 10lbs, and huge kudos goes out to them. You lost an entire baby!






Finally -- the POGs:


In order to qualify for this final drawing, your team needed to have completed 80% or more of your POGs. The numbers are randomly selected using the online random number generator. Two persons are present for all drawings to verify the winners.


And by golly, the Jelly Belly's (or are they the Belly Jelly's? I'm so confused now) made out like bandits for their third prize of the day. They will receive another gift certificate from Runners High for $50 per person.


In second place, Markey led his Angels to a lucky number, and they receive the second prize for the POG drawing. Buff Angels -- you came so close again to making the cut-off -- you're getting closer!



Well done, STRIPPERS! Stay tuned for details on the next challenge, which starts on April 10th!
