GLOBAL TEAM WINNERS
Unfortunately this year out of our 850 entrants we did not have any teams that fulfilled every requirement of the Global rules and regulations. (Majority of these entrants were individuals) The HWG team has deliberated over this for a week now but we need to keep the integrity of the competition at the highest level that it always has been. Some team members forgot newspapers, some didn't write letters etc..only small mistakes but a rule is a rule to make it fair for everybody.
Congratulations to everyone who took part in the challenge and remember if you committed to your initial goals than you have won already. As you can see from the individual winners the results are phenomenal once again and there is no reason that this could not be you!
Well done to everybody for taking on the challenge and looking forward to the next big global challenge coming up in October 2009! Stay tuned - Tod.
NORTH AMERICAN TEAMS
While all of the global rules were not followed by any one team - (one of those rules was that you must finish the competition with the same number of people that started), there have been some jobs made redundant over the past couple of months and that is not the fault of other team members. I am awarding a team prize to the top team in our area of North America where this is the case. There were 3 on the team & someone lost their job but the other 2 competitors finished well and did not miss any requirements.
The top team prize for our North America is "Menage A Trois" consisting of Tiffany Ketchmark & Keith Shafer.
These guys have won an ALL INCLUSIVE TRIP!
AREA LEADER INCENTIVES
From Alesha Campbell - Eastern Canada Retail:
The incentive:
Alright after much discussion (with myself) over wine and cheese I have decided to do the 12 week challenge, now I know you are all sitting there saying......Alesha I don't care what you do.....and so true BUT I want to make sure for the second year in a row we have the most people participating globally so why don't you do it too? AND I also I have the opportunity to let you guys know I am doing it so I have 350 people asking me "should you really eat that" or "did you do any exercise today". I mean who needs Bob and Jillian when I have all of you and like you all wouldn't like the opportunity to boss me around! So of course in true FC fashion I know you are asking yourself whats it in for me. .......well this is the deal. First of all, join and we will all get healthier together and secondly anyone in FC Eastern Canada Retail that participates and ranks higher than me in the 12 week challenge I will buy a nice bottle of wine. So then we can celebrate our weight loss and healthy decisions for 12 weeks by drinking.
So sign up now, there are great prizes to be won, and if you are like me and don't want your body measurements posted all over FC, don't worry unless you win the big prize it is all confidential. And lets be honest if you win the big prize you will be looking fabulous and would want to flaunt it!
So lets do this together - heck get your whole shop doing it and remember beat me and wine is yours.

From Ed Vanstone - Area Leader Treasure Island
The incentive:
Alright Island,
It was at the wire but my hat is in the ring for the 12 week challenge. A few of you have pushed me, Dave from Saanich especially to match the challenge Alesha from the East put out. Consider it done, I will match it. A little competition might be just what I need to whip my self in shape. Good luck to everyone. Here's to good shape and some good wine at the end of it. Hopefully not that much purchased by me though.
