2014 Wellness Challenge Winners written by Susan McCormick, M.S

2014 Winners

Every year, I am blown away by what our challengers accomplish over 3 short months – and this year did not disappoint.  All of our top 3 winners lost over 20% of their body weight, with Deanna Coffey coming in 1st place by losing 28.8% of her body weight.   She won a years worth of free services from the Wellness Connection, so we can help support her on her wellness journey.


I'm sure many of you want to know how they did it.  I think they would all agree that the focus on their emotions and why they make the choices they do, was the critical missing piece from all other weight loss programs.  Each week, we would meet as a group and talk about what was getting in the way, why they were each struggling, and how we could collectively support each other along the way.  We exercised together, learned to cook together, cried together, and all ended the challenge feeling like we had moved forward….in some way or another.


 I am so proud of these women, and I, too, learned so much by them allowing me to be part of the process. If you have a group who doesn't want to wait until next February for our next challenge, contact us and we will put together a personalized program for you – all you need is 10 people to start.


Please join me in congratulating our top 3 challengers: 1st Place: Deanna Coffey, 2nd place: Della Wright; 3rd Place: Debbie Jenter.  These committed women made this challenge so much fun!
