This past Saturday, I got to sit down with Team Sarah, and some people from the gym for a celebratory lunch for winning this year's Forever Fitness 24 Challenge. By the end of 8 weeks, my team of 3 girls (myself included) and 3 guys dwindled down to me and the boys! With schedules and life, only one team member could meet for lunch- Chad White.

Let me brag a bit about Chad! He was also the Individual Winner from the Challenge. He lost over 18% of his body fat and 40 pounds during our 8 week challenge. To say he killed it is an understatement! I say this all the time and I mean it- we are all winners because we all lost weight. 

A huge thank you to Clean Eatz in Cuyhoga Falls for providing the delicious lunch. We all got bision burgers and they were outstanding. Jamie and Jackie, the owners treated us with such hospitality it was awesome. From balloons, decorations and even a card. They are just lovely. They also have a location in Canton. Clean Eatz offers healthy food options from burgers to wraps, salads, bowls and tons more. Check it out for sure.

Another big thank you to my peeps at Forever Fitness 24. This gym takes care of all of us during the Challenge, but I go there through out the year and these are just good people. Weight loss is a personal journey that has to become a lifestyle and as hokey as this may sound- my peeps at FF24, they are like family now. This gym changed my life. I walked in the doors there in 2017 over 120 pounds heavier and I each time I want to go home and nap or eat an entire pizza in one sitting, I tell myself to go see my gym family. This Challenge reminds me each year that 8 weeks can change these people's lives too, so I say- join us next year!!! 

Team Sarah: victorous 2 years in a row- we are a dynasty! Team Ken- he's not so bad either ;)
