weight loss, biggest loser, exercise, diet

The results are in! The winner of The Star-Ledger's Biggest Loser Challenge is Tom Feeney, who lost an astounding 49 pounds in three months. That was about 20 percent of his starting weight!
As his prize, Tom won an extra week of paid vacation, a six-month gym membership, and $10 for each pound lost, for a total of $490! Tom lost the weight on a combination of healthy eating, exercise and lifestyle changes.
Second prize winner Pat Turner lost 8.4 percent of her body weight. Five other participants, Peter Barash, Jack DaSilva, Vinessa Erminio, Brian Levy and Beverly Reid exceeded their weight loss goals. These seven people together lost 176 pounds.
Of the 59 people who initially signed up for the challenge, 27 attended enough weigh-ins to qualify for recognition. Altogether they lost 407 pounds!
Thanks to Mona Rowe and Monique Alston of The Star-Ledger's Human Resources Department for organizing this challenge. They hope to start another one in the fall. I'm looking forward to coaching again!
