The Final Results

I meant to get this up yesterday, but better late then never :)

As you are probably aware, Bill and Paula Coates are this years winners of the Biggest MOOser 2011.  It was a very close contest but in the end the married couple pulled through to be crowned the victors.

So I've had a few people email me asking to see before and after pictures of the contestants.  Well I have that as well as the results for you now.  Check them out:

Abby Smith and Rita Moulton

  

  

Rita and Abby were a very supportive team losing almost 18 combined inches, 20 pounds and 4.6% body fat.  Abby gained a huge amount of confidence while Rita is off 2/3 of her medication and blood sugar is getting better and better every day.  They have changed their lives forever.

Stephanie Bowen and Laurie Fisher

  

   

Team Fisher/Bowen probably had the most fun personality of the groups but brought their A Game every day.  Together they lost 44 pounds (Laurie losing 26), 7.6% body fat (Laurie losing 4.5%), and 22.75 inches (Stephanie losing the most of all MOOsers with 14.25).  Their MOOser journey has concluded but their life journey has just begun.

Andrea Machado and Lynn Brochu

  

   

Lynn and Andrea were two others who brought a light side to the group.  They were vocal in an encouraging and supportive way.  Their no BS attitude was refreshing and brought a dynamic to the group that probably no one else could.  Together they lost 46.8 pounds (22 by Andrea, 24 by Lynn),  

6.8% Body fat (Andrea lost 5.3%), and 22.25 inches (both losing at least 11).  Their numbers show consistency and commitment and that's just what they did and will continue to do.  They were this years runners up.

The Biggest MOOsers 2011

Bill and Paula Coates

  

      

Bill and Paula were eachother's rocks from the beginning.  Bill the vocal one, Paula the 'silent assassin'.  Bill started off a man on fire with his effort while Paula took a little more time to feel out what exactly this was all about.  However, this was short lived as Paula caught up to Bill  quickly and often overtook him, especially on Cardio Days.  Together they were an amazing team to watch and emulated the true meaning of partners.  Together they lost 78.5 pounds (Bill losing the most of all MOOsers by losing 52.5 in 12 weeks which is a MOOser record, Paula losing 26), 9.4% body fat (Bill losing 6.3% most of all MOOsers), and 19.5 inches (Bill losing 11.75).  They are the winners of the competition but more importantly have their lives back and have inspired so many more along the way.  Thanks guys for making the most of an opportunity and not only empowering yourselves but empowering so many others.

Final Days

Moosers is winding to a close for 2011.  The friendships and memories will stick with each and every one of them forever.

The results and what they have learned in 12 short weeks will too, be with them forever.  Monday April 18th will be the show on MOO92 where the winner will be crowned, but all of the MOOsers have had dramatic transformations.  And it is the truth where I have no idea who is in the lead or will win this competition.

Today is a bit of a different post because we had a little fun.  The two videos are a little shot of the fun we had on Friday.  It was train the trainer day but also just a reflection of the friendship and camaradarie we have gained over the past 12 weeks.  Enjoy and be sure to tune in Monday:
