2013 Participants

The results are in!

Thank you to all of you who weighed in for the April 30 Weigh-in. You all should be so proud of yourselves for continuing to fight for a healthier lifestyle. Keep your goals in sight, stay focused, and continue the healthy eating and exercise habits you have developed.

A few reminders before we get to the list.

  • Only those who WEIGHED IN but did not make their 10% weight loss goal are eligible to continue in the At-Home Challenge. 
  • For those of you who do not quite make your 10% weight loss, you have been entered into the At-Home Challenge. This is your opportunity to stay in the Challenge and continue to change your lifestyle. You must weigh-in at the Grand Finale in order to be eligible for the At-Home Challenge prizes. 
  • Whether you are continuing in the Challenge or participating in theAt-Home Challenge, your next weigh-in is at the Grand Finale Weigh-in. 
  • The Grand Finale Weigh-in will take place on Monday, July 15 at Festival Foods in Eau Claire. (We will let you know more details very soon.) 
Like last year, this time we will not be posting the weights with your nickname and we will give no indication as to who is in the lead. We want each person to focus on their own success and strive to create a healthier lifestyle for themselves. However, if a Participant would like to share his or her weight with others, that is just fine! So without further ado, here is the list of those continuing on in the 2013 JAM in to a Healthier You! – The Chippewa Valley Challenge and competing for the title of the 2013 Chippewa Valley Challenge Champion:

Keep your eye on the prize!

The biggest prize you will win is taking control of your life again. Those of you who have lost the 10% and continue to lose through to the July 15 Grand Finale Weigh-in, stand a 75% chance that you will NEVER go back to where you started. If you have learned those healthy habits and changed your lifestyle, the chances of you going backwards have been reduced greatly because you’ve been doing these habits for over 6 months. It’s still going to take hard work and dedication to maintain and continue down the healthier pathway. I believe in you, and you should start believing in yourself; if you do, you will succeed!

This is honestly the toughest part of the competition, these next few months…losing weight is the easy part, now you need to start living your lives and incorporating what you have learned the past 4 months. You must continue making healthy choices and healthy habits.

Find a goal that works for you. Your goal may be…
  • To become healthy. 
  • To never DIET again! (I am now officially calling the word DIET a 4 letter word!) 
  • To take control of your life again! 
  • To give your self some well deserved respect, because you are right now earning that respect, not only from other people but most importantly from yourself. Be proud of what you have accomplished. When July 15 rolls around, we want all of you to feel incredibly proud of what you have done. We are so PROUD of all of you.
I want to see all the Challenge Participants who started in January at the Grand Finale at Festival Foods! Even if you dropped out of the Challenge back in February, you owe it to yourself to come and see who is crowned Champion. Not to mention all the sponsors will be there with free samples and helpful ideas to help you on your way to a healthier you.

  1. Just wondering if there is a challenge to maintain and or lose additional pounds by the beginning of next years challenge using the grand finale weigh in today as the beginning point. That would be a great way to start next years challenge and offer an incintive to those that way in today. Thanks and see you at the weigh in.
