We had a wonderful celebration at our final 2010 Crosby Community Meltdown Challenge meeting last night. Lisa Wright, from Divine Body Works in Crosby, started out with an informative speech about our lympathic system and lymphatic massage. Did you know that one can of soda can shut down your lymphatic system for 4 to 5 hours?
After that, all the team leaders for the Big Loser Contest united on the stage and shared their testimonies and team mate recognitions. Each team leader received a raffle ticket for a drawing to win a free massage from Divine Body and Dollie Christ, from Shape Sifters, won the raffle. Ten year old Baylea Otis, team Skinny Cow, received a gift basket in recognition for her incredible work as the the youngest team leader of the Meltdown.
Next, Sheila Hall took a few moments to summarize our guest speakers over the past 8 weeks. We started out, in week one, with my speech about my journey over the past year to lose 64.50 pounds. Week two, Rob Rosenbaum shared his Top 10 List for a healthier, skinnier body. Week's three and four, Jean-Francois Borney informed us about the chemicals and pesticides in our foods and showed us some healthier food choices.
Week five, Polly Heil-Mealey explained to us how she can determine our bodies overall health by looking into our eyes. Week six, Dr. Ryan Konarick told us about the four underlying causes of obesity in the United States. Week seven, Pastor Keenan Smith taught us that life is not just about being successful but about being significant enough in life to make an impact.
Then, it was on to the awards ceremony. Michele Perez, team F.R.O.G., received a trophy and goodie bag for losing 15.90 pounds and being the Top Women's Big Loser. Mark Atomanczyk, team Determined to Lose, received a trophy and goodie bag for losing 18 pounds and being the Men's Big Loser.
The "Go Getters" (4.04% total weight loss), Larry and Becky Hill, came in third place in the team Big Loser contest. The "Meltdown Mamas" (4.05% total weight loss), Judy Sirocka (Crosby Office Supply) and Leia Morris, were announced as the second place Big Loser team and each received a gift box filled with goodies. When it was all said and done, "Determined Divas" (4.11% total weight loss), Sherry Hess and Tina McWhorter, took home the grand finale award and received a $300 prize package as Big Loser Team of the 2010 Crosby Community Meltdown Challenge.
The evening wound down with a healthy eating buffet and lots of mingling and discussion of the night's events. I think we can write down this year's Meltdown as a total success. It is my sincere hope that each person who was able to attend this year's meetings will continue their journey of health and fitness.
