Ivy Johnson

Winner of $500

Ivy lost 17.43% (weight, body fat and abdomen inches) total percent. and 31 1/2 inches overall! Even with taking a spill during "Survivor - Lincoln" she worked her butt off and it paid off - literally. Way to go Ivy, and best of luck in the future!

I can't not mention the two runner up contestants of the Final Three. I got to know both of these individuals very well over the course of the challenge and am just so stinkin' proud of them.

 2nd Runner Up:

                                                                               Before                                             

                                                                               After

Second runner up Vince Foster lost SEVENTY POUNDS! Vince was a biking maniac (he biked everywhere... the money he saved in gas for the car could pay off my college tuition) and one of the most humble people I know. He and his wife showed up to races that other WFMH contestants were a part of to cheer them on, and he participated in races himself. He is unstoppable! His next goal: to drop 45 more pounds and run a half marathon. Vince - you can do anything you put your mind to, we are so proud of you!

3rd Runner Up:

                                                                            Before

                                                                             After             

THIRTY FIVE POUNDS DOWN!

Third runner up was Deb Peterson. I got to know Deb pretty well when we participated in the Cornhusker State Games Adventure Race together in June. The Adventure Race consisted of running, biking, a sand challenge and a little time in the lake. It was so much fun, and I can't wait to team up for another "adventure" again soon! Deb also participated in the Havelock Run (and finished with a GREAT time) and then just recently participated in the Buffalo Run. Deb has offerred her help on more than one occasion with the WFMH challenge, and she is now helping keep the website updated (which is a NEVER ending job). I can not thank Deb enough for everything she has done, and am so thankful for her friendship. Deb is already signed up for the next session, and I can't wait to see what happens!
