Wow!!!! What can I say?? You guys are amazing! Thank you for taking my idea and running full force with it! The NO excuses approach and your desire to want to change is inspiring! I have had soooo many texts saying "thank you" to me for helping you and being supportive! I will always be supportive in your goals and health..but I do not deserve the thanks! You guys did the work! I am so proud of you guys! The money from the jar will be split this year! Boy was it close!! 2 winners.

Stephanie wins half the jar amount for her points-- she had 992 points! She lost 12.4 pounds just in the month of December!! I honestly get chills thinking about it! She is truly trying so hard! She never misses a training session with me__EVER! Even when she lived in Logan she would drive down sardine canyon in the snow to train! She drove all the way from Salt lake to come down to Clinton or Layton to do her"extra" workouts! Thank you for being such a inspiration!
And even though she lost 5.72% body fat this month, someone else beat her in body fat loss!!

Teri- is our winner of the second half of the money. She lost 8 pounds in the month of December! She had every cheat meal planned out way ahead of time, and came to all her training sessions and works her butt off! She once told me she never wanted to be a whiner here, and she is never negative and never ever complains here! Thank you for being such a inspiration!

Sybil was next up for the most points for the challenge- she had 825 points. She was so determined to exercise daily and really worked on her food! She was so honest and would go out and do the " extra" special workouts, sometimes after finishing a whole hard 45 min workout here!She also lost 4 pounds in the month of December! Thank you for being such a inspiration!

Melody- she was next in line behind Teri and Steph for most body fat loss- she lost 3.14 % body fat! She had a toe operated on, and her exercise was held back some from the pain, but she vowed to me to try to work on her eating. Wow! it paid off! Thank you for being such a inspiration!!

Colette- she lost 2.4 % body fat. Her points may have not been very good but she really was trying to find some balance that works for her. I think she found it..with 5.2 pounds gone this month! Thank you for being such a inspiration!

Corinne-  she is at her lowest all time weight EVER!! she lost 2.16% body fat this month! She is so determined! She never misses her training sessions either, and always gives it her 100 percent effort here. She comes twice a week and she is so happy to be at this weight and one step closer to her goal. Thank you for being such a inspiration!

Ruth lost-1.07 % body fat! She goes to college and works full time, and is trying hard to make herself some time to exercise!! She is amazing! Thank you for being such a inspiration!

Mike didn't lose, but he didn't gain either! He maintained... and to maintain in the month of December is still awesome! I think his exercise has helped with those Texas Road house rolls- ha ha! Thank you for being such a inspiration!

Bambi didn't lose either, but she maintained for the whole month! She struggled a little on her"special" workout, but she kept on trying and didn't give up! When we keep pushing, we will conquer! Thank you for being a inspiration!

Anyone else that I did not mention- it's only because I didn't want to throw you under the bus! I am hoping this month will be better for you! As your trainer I vow to work your tail off!

The greatest thing about all of this? You all have proved that there is no magic pill! There is no home food delivery systems, or any surgery that can teach you what you have learned! It is all about choosing healthy foods and exercise! There is no secret. It's hard work and sweat and training your body with healthy foods to fuel it! You even get a "cheat" meal weekly! Most of you commented that it was actually easier than you really expected! You learned that there is no calorie restricted diet- you were not deprived. If you calorie restrict and do strict diets it leads toward bingeing, crankiness, slower metabolism, and less muscle. You learned to choose healthy foods! You had 100 calorie cheats daily, and a cheat meal....really? I mean this is fantastic! With all that in mind, I made sure to create hard workouts that challenged each muscle and kept your heart rates up! We did it! You did it!

I have just had the best day ever today and I want to wish you all a Happy New Year! May this year bring us all Health and Happiness and good blessings!

You must be very proud to see how your training programs effectively helped these ladies lose weight! You deserve a pat in the back. With Stephanie losing 12.4 lbs. in just a month – considering the recommended maximum weight loss per week is 1 to 2 lbs. only – it must be a great feeling to achieve more than expected of her. Great job, Annie!
