Biggest Loser

Beginning October 19th 2009 among our family and friends we had a contest on “The Biggest Loser” on who could lose the most weight in a period of 12 weeks. Starting out with 12 contestants weighing in every week, staying with a healthy program and being focused throughout the time was very challenging. Finally, out of our 12 we ended with 6 contestants and we have our winners.

Lost: 14.8 pounds – Grand Prize was $240 cash.

(No Picture Available) Lost: 9.8 pounds - Prize was a $50 gift card.

Lost: 6.2 pounds- Prize was a “6 Month Parking Spot”.

Also, Denise Ripley is our “Employee of the Month” for January 2010.
