CFBL - Week 10 - The End

10 weeks (or so) ago I started the ColdFusion Biggest Losers Club. The idea was to simply see how much weight we could lose over a 10 week period. While participation went up and down, there was a good core set of folks who stuck it out through the end (I'd say through thick and thin, but that's too obvious). The CFBL is now officially over, and here are the final stats.

First off, for week 10 alone:

Week 10 weight total: 3,248
Week 10 weight average: 232.00
Week 10 lowest: 180
Week 10 highest: 383
People this week: 12
Biggest Loser (Pounds): Curt Gratz (5 lbs)
Biggest Loser (%): Curt Gratz ( 2.59 %)
Total Weight Lost: 23

For the entire 10 week period, our biggest loser percentage wise was:

Chris Peterson at 15.66 percent.

He was also the biggest loser weight wise at 39 pounds. He wins the WACK (and the Nike Chip that one of my readers offered). Chris, congratulations, and I'll be in touch next week when I'm back home. (If you know what's good for you, you will send me a friendly reminder.)

Personally, I did great. I wanted to hit 210, and made it to 211, so I'm not going to complain. I feel about a hundred times better now then I did this time last year when I was 255, and I'm sure I'll hit 200 soon. I especially love the feeling of pants now. I know that may sound silly - but having to worry about tightening my belt is much better than worrying about popping a button!

So, who's up for another 10 weeks? ;-)

Awesome! That Nike dealie looks very cool, and I wonder how it will react if I workout to Dance Dance Revolution while its tracking?

Hey Ray, any chance you can send the CFWACK to the 2nd place winner? Just a few weeks ago I got work to shell out for a copy. Contests like this are a great motivator to me, so thanks to everyone who kept participating. I bet we all feel better!

That is awesome; congrats to all! I hope you do this again... I would like to participate.

@Jessica: Well, now I'm sexy as a super model, so I don't care. ;) Just kidding - um - we will see. If folks remind me in a few months, I'd be happy to.

@Chris - Second place was Chad Gray, with 14.02% and 30 pounds loss. That's nice of you!

Woah... i got 2nd? Cool!

Thanks Chris!

This was a great motivator and it has really improved my diet. I hurt my ankle middle of the 10 weeks and it took me off the treadmill, but i was able to keep my diet in check and still loose pounds. I did hit my target weight of 185lbs and that is what me and my doctor wanted to see.

Of course this week i was at a conference in West Palm Springs FL and gained 4 lbs that i need to loose this weekend and avoid the Easter candy. :)

Thanks Ray!
