Hi everyone.

I know you are all very excited and a bit anxious to hear who the Grand Prize winner and two runners up of the Fresh Start to Weight Loss Challenge are.

Everyone put forth a tremendous effort and should be proud of all their accomplishments.

Our runners up are from two different teams and will each receive One Polar Wearlink + Heart Rate + Transmitter for Nike and one  Nike + iPod Sport Kit.

Congratulations to Miss_Barb of the Motivated Mermaids Team and The Milkmaid of the Super Starfish Team.

Our Grand Prize winner hails from the Sassy Swordfish Team and will be receiving one iPod nano with Multi-Touch, one Polar Wearlink + Heart Rate + Transmitter for Nike, one Nike + iPod Sport Kit.
 
A huge congratulations goes out to Jodi67!

Thank you to everyone for participating and supporting one another. Hope to see you on future challenges.
Til then...see you on the boards.

Thank you Rochelle and Ms. Barb!

Congrats to Barb and Milkmaid and to everyone that participated in this challenge!

I feel honored as well as humbled, I never even won one week of the challenges but I can promise that when I have my exercise equipment on I will remember this challenge and look at it as a sign to remember that this truly is a New Beginning for me!  As I look back on all of the weeks I know that the harbored bitterness of the past two years have done nothing positive for me.

Letting go of the past and getting a Fresh Start is what I have needed for a long time.

Thank you everyone for all of your help and support!  I will forever be grateful for the pushes forward and the great advise given!

This winning post from Winefairie says it all and I did put it in my journal...........it is way time to put the past behind me and move on to better much better things

good for you, Jodi.  I always ask myself in these situations, "why am I giving that undeserving person my power?"  I know exactly of what you speak; the hurts, the guilt, the baggage and I can tell you what has worked for me in the past.  
1) Surround yourself with positive people, people who live to see each day shine with the sun.  
2) Get rid of the "3 D's", the "Drainers, Distractors & Dumpers".  
3) Know the difference between "forgiveness" and "pardoning".
The last one was the hardest lesson for me.  I felt if I forgived someone for the wrong they had done it was letting them off scot free until I realized I wasn't Pardoning them for their action. That was between that person and their God.  I was forgiving them. I was releasing them from hurting me. I was blessing them and letting them go.  And once I did that, I could thank them for the lessons, hard lessons, they had taught me that might serve me in the future. 

Good luck with it all, carrying someone elses baggage isn't worth our energy, gf!  You are a phenomenal woman and desrve to always believe that and be surrounded by people who know how to let your light shine.
Thank you for helping me with my Fresh Start everyone!  Thank You!!  :-)

Congratulations to all three of you --- Miss Barb, Milkmaid, and Jodi!! I have read all of your posts and have been inspired often with something each of you has said.  (yes, Barb and Milkmaid, I have been prowling the other team's posts -- needed all the motivation and encouragement I could get). 

The three of you may have ended up with the special prizes, but I think that we are all winners, just because we did it!  So, kudos to all participants! I look forward to seeing you all at the next challenge.

Great job on your weight loss!  You look great Milkmaid.  We were on the same team, Pool Party, I guess I have not seen your updated picture!  What I would give to drop my ten pounds!  Just signed up for the "Wake Up Call" Challenge!  Maybe cooking the same meal for my family will help me to drop those last ten pounds.  We will see..

You look great!!

 Joan,
 
You are right everyone who participated are winners.  That is what I was trying to say in my previous post when I wrote what Winefairie had said to me.  The inspiration, motivation and encouragement that comes from the whole team and all that posts is what makes these challenges so great!

I too, look forward to the next challenge, not so much because of the prizes they are great but it is the focus and moving forward and tweaking our lifestyles that really makes us feel that we are accomplishing goals and becoming healthier everytime that we commit to each week.

It is great on the beach ................ I posted "Wake Up Call" to my facebook and am anxiously awaiting learning more about the book. 

I read the trial version and so far it is a great read!

Thank you Rochelle!

And thank you again for the Kindle version of the new book.  I have already preordered it anxiously awaiting October. Dr. Agatston has a way of pushing me forward and convincing me to eat healthy. 

I love his books!
