Weight Loss Challenge Returns After Bye Week
Returning after the bye week we have a new leader of the pack. Zinfandel has taken the yellow jersey with an impressive 6.34% and 16 lb loss and appears to be determined to continue to push the pace even if it means mockery from the family when he orders tofu for dinner. Not far behind is fellow Briarcrest member Fuse Box (6.22% and 15.8 lbs) who we believe has no more layers of clothing to shed and has kicked the weight loss into high gear. From rumblings at Flash it appears he is looking to chase down the lead. Rounding out the top 3 is Doughboy (Lawson) who has the highest total lbs lost at 16.9 and is within striking distance at 6.04% loss. Could the Q juice push a few extra lbs out this week time will tell.
Additionally, we have Chicken Little and Dana who both have reached double digits in lbs loss in 3 weeks. Great job fellas!
In the team rankings Briarcrest has taken a commanding lead with a 12 to 35 advantage based on overall ranking of the top 4 from each. Could Briarcrest crew continue for the entire race or will Lawson make a late push to close the gap. Time will tell, but right now it does not appear close.
Overall the group has lost a combined 144 lbs and approx 2.77% – so great job by everyone.
