Burst into Summer FINALE! {results}

[ 12 ] 09/01/2011 |

For the past 11 weeks, we have pushed ourselves, ate the right foods, and sweated our butts off. Okay, well, maybe I didn’t, but it’s obvious by the numbers that some of you have been working so hard! The final results  are SO CLOSE! The Top 3 teams are separated by less than a few tenths of a percent. We saw some amazing losses this week, and I am happy to see so many of you sprinting to the finish line!

Once again, we want to give a big shout-out to New Balance! They are huge supporters of the Sisterhood, and we appreciate it so much!

The winning team and select randomly chosen participants {who have checked in EVERY week!} will receive a pair of New Balance WX871 shoes (retail value: $84.99), which are perfect for bootcamp and other fitness classes! How sweet is that?

Are we ready to hear the final results?

Can I get a drumroll please?

In 3rd place, losing a total percentage of 7.08% of their team weight, is TEAM 20 (Karen W, Mary H, Nicole L, Tammi T)! You ladies have done amazing this entire challenge! You should be so proud!

In 2nd place, with a total of 7.21% lost, we have TEAM 4 (Kim U, Melissa M, Melissa S, Nancy C)! Ladies, you fought hard every week! High-fives all around!

And our winner of the Burst into Summer challenge, the only woman left standing on her team, is:

Julie Y of TEAM 31!

Julie lost TWENTY pounds! That’s 7.69% of her total body weight, GONE! WOW! We are so incredibly proud of you, Julie! Now tell us your secret, k?

Julie will be receiving a pair of New Balance shoes, and so will these randomly selected challengers who checked in every.single.week (there were 24 of you!) of this challenge:

  • Shera W.
  • Melanie P.
  • Erin C.
  • Tracey S.
  • Heather T.

Congrats to all of you! Make sure you shoot us an email with your mailing address, as well as your size/width!

Thanks to all the Sisters and Brothers who stuck the challenge out through the end. You rock!
