We are now in week eight of the
Subway Get Fit Challenge, with just one month remaining in the competition, it's getting down to the wire and our three weight loss contestants are keeping the competitive edge sharp. All three competitors showing significant signs of improvement in this weeks weigh in.
Joseph had the greatest loss in weight this week, dipping seven pounds. His new weight is four-hundred-forty-one pounds and a total loss of thirty six and a half pounds.
TJ dropped two pounds this week. With a new weight of three-hundred-forty-one pounds your total weight loss is a whopping fifty-three-and-a-half pounds.
And Karen, who has been busy with work and taking care of her son throughout the competition, this week dropped one-pound-and a half. Her new weight is two-hundred-fifty-five pounds, wit the total loss at fourteen-and-a-half pounds.
With just four weeks left in the competition, these three need all of the encouragement they can get and we are asking for your help.
"I just want words of encouragement, I want to know that you are out there listening and watching and seeing what's going on, I would love to have any communication," said Karen.
Here at CBS4.com we are giving you multiple ways to get involved in the life changing process of these three individuals.
Dave Game who heads up the CBS4 Web team said, "We are looking for is the ability to find out how these guys are doing right now through video blogs. Everyday they send me a little information on how they are doing the struggles they are having, the challenges they face and of course the successes they have and by seeing how they are doing it we are hoping to inspire people at home to try the same type of thing."
So give us your feedback. You never know, it just might make the difference in one of our three competitors lives.
We'll have updates on the Get Fit Challenge every Wednesday and the finalists are also blogging online at
