Last month concluded our Zone Challenge. Winner was decided by percentage of bodyweight lost. We had 25 people participate and it was a great group. Keeping in communication through emails and talking to each other at the gym really helped them stay on track.
Our top 3 performers were:
Sharyn Babbitt (5.7%)
China Tolliver (5.5%)
David Johnson (3.8%)
A very close race between the ladies to say the least! Since November Sharyn has lost a total of 34 pounds. She started with strict paleo following paleonick.com recipes. Our challenge was perfect timing for her as her weight loss had slowed. She implemented zone parameters with paleo foods and Boom! The weight loss kept coming and she is our Zone challenge winner.
I want to thank everyone who went through the challenge. I hope it has showed you how much food we DON’T need, as well as, how to balance out your meals. I encourage you to keep with the zone until you reach your goals. Now that you’ve done it for a month it should be habit.
Congrats again Sharyn! Keep kickin ass!
David
Great job Sharyn & China!
And congratulations to the whole group of Zone Challenge participants. We are all winners by improving our health and fitness. I’m sticking with the zone long term to help me get to where I want to be. Good luck to everyone on reaching your own personal goals! And last but not least, big thanks to Aaron for setting us on the path and providing all the encouragement and support.
