The winners were awarded based on the percentage of body weight lost during the six-week program. The top prize was $500, followed by $250 for second place, and $100 for third place.

First place winner, David Elliott, had a 13.46% weight loss. Jesse Cornell, second place, had a 10.07% weight loss. Jim Feldt finished in third place with a 7.32% weight loss. Trainers for this year’s challenge were Alecia Sare and Maurice Flynn.

We look forward to next year’s challenge.”

This year’s 35 participants were assigned to teams, with each team meeting with a trainer every week and participants also worked out on their own.
