Team Lean 2010 Recap
The 3rd Annual Team Lean community weight-loss program wrapped up April 1, 2010 with Awards Night at the City Auditorium. Over $30,000.00 in cash prizes was handed out to the top thirty teams as well as the top five males & females. The big winners were Mullet Mafia (1st Place Team), Alaina Bradshaw (1st Place Female), and Jarrett Turnbull (1st Place Male).
The Transformers were the recipients of the inaugural "Spirit of Team Lean" award. This honor is presented to a deserving team that shows outstanding team effort & motivation throughout the program.
A thousand health seekers began Team Lean in January. 800 of them completed the full program. Participants weighed in weekly at one of eleven weigh sites around the community. An amazing 13,388 pounds were lost over the ten week period!
Next up will be the Team Lean maintenance program that begins April 15, 2010. This effort supports Team Leaners by providing monthly weigh-ins from April through September. Prize incentives are available for those that keep off the pounds lost during the competition, as well as for those that continue to lose weight. While the maintenance phase is optional, it offers discipline and motivation to reinforce healthy habits in health seekers.
Special thanks to the 2010 sponsors: Thomasville YMCA, Flowers Foods, Archbold Memorial Hospital, and Thomasville-Times Enterprise.
Congratulations to all winners, and congratulations to all participants for a job well done!
