WINNERS! 2015 Transformation Challenge
/It is with much anticipation that we announce the winners of the 2015 Transformation Challenge. This challenge was... well, challenging for many of our participants. We asked athletes to try to TRANSFORM their thoughts about food and establish some new positive eating habits in addition to a commitment to regular exercise. The Winners were chosen with review in 3 areas; each bearing equal weight on their overall score (pun intended). :)
The three evaluating areas;
1) FOOD LOG - submittal and compliance
2) BODY COMPOSITION CHANGES - body fat percentage change and inches lost as well as how the well the before and after pictures showed change. Total weight loss was not a criteria.
3) ATTENDANCE - total number of workouts during the 6 weeks
