Third Week - Team Gold comes on Strong!

Everyone is still doing great! Again, everyone has either lost weight or stayed the same as their entry weight. We did have six contestants that gained a total of 7.5 lbs from last week, so we have $7.50 to add to the challenge pot. This may happen week to week as people may be retaining water, gaining muscle from working out, etc., so don't be discouraged!

We are almost half-way to our challenge of the first to lose 15% of body weight with three contestants (Lisa, Randy, and Angie G) over 6% now. Also, getting very close to a winner in the race to 100 miles...As of Tuesday, the standings are as follows:

Becky - 74.4 miles
Angela - 69.9
Stacey - 53.2
Joe C - 42.0
Deanna - 39.9
Mirtha - 19.1
Matt - 4.0

And Lisa is still in First position for the individual rankings. Team rankings have had some changes - most notably that team Gold (Joe C & Donald) have moved up to Second position and are right on the heels of Badland's team Yellow (Randy & Michael R). Here are the latest standings:
