Wendy and the Weight Loss Challenge

wm2

Wendy Magis has flown under the radar for 19 months here at the IC. She started using only 8 lb. dumbbells in Bootcamp and is now regularly pressing the 25s. What we can all learn from Wendy is that consistency and focus are key. She has rarely missed a class in over a year. She never lets a crowded room or an unpleasant workout get in the way of her positive training attitude. Today, she is often one of the top performers of Team 0700 and she even has a hidden six-pack under that shirt (Wendy was too shy to show it off). Most importantly, she is another hard-working mama who has successfully achieved her fitness goals: weight loss and strength gain.

We are proud to announce that Wendy is our new representative for the “30-and-over Club” …only this has nothing to do with age. We have been secretly conducting our IC Weight Loss Challenge behind the scenes. (It’s too late to enter now. Registration closed months ago.) We wanted to create a unique opportunity for the silent soldiers of the IC to be acknowledged for their incredible dedication to health and fitness. Wendy is our official runner-up! …and so is every individual at the IC who has lost 30+ pounds while training here.

The GRAND PRIZE and WINNER of the IC Weight Loss Challenge will be announced on Monday September 29, 2008 via email so don’t forget to check your in-boxes.

Congratulations to Wendy and to every IC member out there making their dreams a reality!
