The Back-to-School Fat Loss Transformation Challenge

Wow!  Wow!! Wow!!!

All I can really say is, “WOW!”

For the past 9 weeks our Look Great at the Lake Boot Camp members have been competing in the Back-to-School Fat Loss Transformation Challenge to see who could make the most significant changes in their body – weight loss, inches lost, muscle development, etc.

At the beginning of the challenge each contestant took various measurements as well as pictures.  Then, for 9 weeks they gave their all in every Look Great at the Lake Boot Camp workout.  They kept detailed food journals and made every effort to stay on track with their hectic lifestyles.

On the last Friday of the challenge, each contestant submitted their measurements, pictures and nutrition journals.  I gave all of that to 3 judges (2 other fitness professionals and one super star client) that don’t know any of the contestants.

After much deliberation, they narrowed the field down to these three great competitors before making their final decision for Grand Champion:

In reverse alphabetical order by first name , here they are :

• Larae Lemon
  • LaRae is a 55 year-old mom who is the most organized contestant I’ve ever seen.  She was so dialed in.  Her journal is immaculate (typed) and she reviews her goals daily – one of which was getting Kelly Ripa arms   LaRae packed on some super-sexy muscle and lost a total of 19 inches!
• Greta Schneider
  • Greta is another mom who has been an inspiration to so many.  She’s one of the most positive and upbeat people you’ve ever met.   An inspiration to many, Greta lost 17 pounds (39 pounds since she first started Look Great at the Lake Boot Camp)!
• Brent Dodds
  • Brent Dodds is a busy husband, father and business man.  Often away on business, he missed classes, but was with us in spirit.  Brent followed along with our online workouts and didn’t lose any ground.  Now he’s got suits that no longer fit him ;-b  Brent lost 14 pounds and 8 inches - not to mention about double those figures since he first joined the program in July!

The results these three dedicated Look Great at the Lake Boot Camp members got were awesome and inspiring.  In addition, the rest of our contestants got excellent results as well.  Most lost at least a size, some as many as 3! Inches melted away and pounds flew off.  It truly was a sight to see.

Thank you to all the dedicated contestants!

Now, on with the final results…

Our Grand Champion is LaRae Lemon!

LaRae just exudes fitness now.  With her buff body, awesome strength and beautiful smile she lights up the room with her efforts.  She’s typically the first one to show up to class and is always helping new members get acclimated.  When I spoke with her today, she was so happy about winning, but she was more excited about being a role model.  She wants women and mom’s everywhere to know they can do the same thing she and the other contestants did.  LaRae will continue to work on her buff body (it’s going to be truly something by next summer – look out Kelly Ripa!), but now she wants to help spread the word and get more people healthy.  I love it!  That’s what it’s all about

Oh yeah, by the way, LaRae is one of those members who has a previous injury (shoulder) that she trains around. We make some simple modifications for some of the exercises and she still gets a killer workout that has obviously produces killer results.

Thanks for everything LaRae!
