The Mother Babes!
Congratulations to Melanie Ashe, Meg Learn, Debbie Wilson and Regina Elliot-Rayburn!They lost 12.12% of their weight with a total of 134 pounds!
When asked about winning the Lighten Up 4 Life Challenge, Melanie Ashe replied " We all work
together in the Mother/Baby Unit on the Mission campus. We are so thrilled to have won, but the
best prize is the weight we are no longer carrying and our improved health." Melanie goes on to
say " All four of the team members have been
doing Mission's Optifast program and it is a really
good program. Adding Lighten Up 4 Life as an added component to Optifast, made it more fun.
I lost 50 pounds! We supported each other throughout the Lighten Up 4 Life challenge, remindingeach other to put in their weights and stay motivated. I really noticed the difference when my feet weren't swelling anymore and after only a couple of weeks, my blood pressure was way down."
Melanie and her team "The Mother Babes" are going to continue and compete in this Lighten Up 4 Life Challenge. Way to Go "The Mother Babes"
The top individual winner for this challenge is:
Virginia Moss from Mission Hospital who lost an incredible 4.89% of her body weight!
