This past week our second Healthy by Accident Weight Loss Challenge officially ended with some pretty amazing results. As a group we lost over 275lbs! Pretty amazing stuff. I’m so proud of everyone for all their hard work. Great stories spanned the entire pool of contestants…too many to name everyone… but here are some of the highlights below:

First let me announce our grand prize winner. This was very close considering the huge numbers this week! There is no question that one person came to the challenge with an intensity and a focus that couldn’t be beat. Holly N took this challenge to heart as she lead from start to finish. With 12.55% of her body weight in the rearview mirror, she is the collector of $300. More importantly, she is officially crowned the Healthy by Accident Challenge Champion! Congrats Holly!!! You did amazing and you deserve it.

Coming in a very very close second with 12.27 (yes 12.27!) Ray L took this challenge on with his wife Lisa, and they truly inspire me with their mutual support. Lisa didn’t do too shabby herself as she rounded out 4th place with 11.40% lost. Congrats Ray and Lisa on your accomplishments– I know you are so proud of each other and I am so happy for you both as well. It’s pretty amazing the changes you can make in just 8 weeks.

The 3rd place winner joined Todd’s morning bootcamp (same class Holly took ☺ ) and really impressed me. Laura C had a history with the studio, took some time off to overcome obstacles, and posted a spectacular comeback of 11.45% weight lost! Great job Laura!!!

As mentioned previously, I could go on an on about the amazing stories and healthy changes all our contestants made, but I’m trying to avoid being long-winded (conserving for my work outs). Rounding out the top ten is Pat M in 5th, Joan L in 6th, Chris T in 7th, Dan P in 8th, Gail H in 9th, and Mary M in 10th.

Congrats to everyone else that took the challenge, you are all now Healthier by accident ☺.
Despite all these amazing success stories, the thing I am most excited about is anticipating everyone continuing with these healthier lifestyle habits. Did I mention that our first Healthy by Accident Challenge winner Dan P is now down 72lbs (yup that’s him coming in 8th place for this challenge!). Dan was the one who inspired Ray and Lisa to join this challenge. Collectively you guys lost over 275lbs in this challenge. I know you are going to inspire others to lose weight, get in the best shape of their lives, and yes… get Healthy by Accident.
