ROD IS A BIG LOSER!!!
As most of you know Rod joined a "Biggest Loser" competition at one of our local athletic clubs in town. The final weigh-in was last night and he was the winner by far!! There was a male and female winner and out of those two he still won overall. He lost a total of 20% of his body weight. The next highest person they said was at 11% body weight loss. He was more thrilled that he met his goal of 50 pounds, than he was with the actual win.
When he signed up for the competition he was told the prize for the winner was $500 cash. Well.....that ended up not being the case. Both the male and female winners received $1000 gift cards to the athletic club. They sell things there, so we may end up buying some things to turn around and sell on ebay to turn some of that into liquid money. Last years winner only won a $500 gift card and said he hasn't used it all yet.
I am SO very proud of Rod for meeting his goal and sticking it out. He was so very good and rewarded himself with pizza last night. He deserved it! I'll try to get a pic of him and post it sometime. He is going to be the "poster boy" for the flyers and mailers for the next year. At Christmas Rod was wearing a size XXL and now even the size large stuff he has is almost too big!
Way to go Rod! We are so proud of you!
Thats so cool... Nice to hear stories like that in this day and age, especially when its about someone I know. Usually, I never know if those darn contests are real because I never know who the winner is. But way to go and Congratulations to Rodney, I bet he's way proud of himself as he should be. :)
