WINTER PALEO CHALLENGE WINNERS!

It’s a damn tie. No matter which way we looked at this — Michelle K. and Aiko were too close to call. Michelle dropped 12 pounds and saw a 7.5% change in weight from her original weigh-in. BUT because this isn’t technically a weight-loss challenge, we’ve always put lots of consideration on inches lost. Aiko lost a total of 8 inches — Michelle K. lost 7.5 inches overall. And their before and after photos are stunning. We are SO impressed with your efforts, you two. Now you’ll have to split your hard-earned cash of $100. In case you went to King K (like I did), that’s $50 cash per person. Congratulations, Aiko and Michelle! We hope this motivates all of our members to steer clear of eating poorly on a daily basis this holiday season. On average, people gain between 6 to 14 pounds from Halloween to New Year’s Day. Limit yourself to one cheat meal / day per week and get in to regular workouts. Let’s get lean and mean as we head into 2015!
