UNC BIGGEST LOSERS!

The UNC 12 week lifestyle makeover may have officially ended but our Biggest Loser contestants are still setting new goals! As a group, the contestants lost a total of 450 pounds! They all look fabulous and are radiating confidence and energy. I think all the contestants gained something from this competition while losing pounds. A few went off medication for high blood pressure/cholesterol, one has inspired many other people including her handicapped husband to make some impressive progress, one has given a sermon on what she learned from being a biggest loser, and one is well on their way to meeting their goal weight before their wedding. Our Biggest female loser lost 28 pounds (12% body weight) and our biggest male loser lost 35 pounds (13% body weight) in a mere 3 months! Here is a short blurb from Sheila, our hot female biggest loser along with her before and after.

Sheila had made up her mind that this would be her year to get fit and be healthy. When she saw advertisements for the UNC Biggest Loser Challenge, she knew this was her opportunity. With the support of her family and her new Biggest Loser friends and staff, Sheila lost 27.5 pounds and 11 inches. She has tons of energy and feels great! Congratulations Sheila...you rock!
