Two more HISD teams win big by losing in national slim-down challenge
Fit With Friends "before"...
Last summer, two teams of employees from Robinson Elementary School got lighter frames and heftier wallets when they won two of the top three prizes in a national weight loss challenge called the HealthyWage Matchup.
Now, two more teams from HISD have earned prizes through that same competition—one for losing more than 16 percent of its members’ collective body weight!
Two electricians with Construction and Facilities Services, Joseph Magee and Salomon Muñoz, were members of a team called “Fit with Friends” that placed third in the latest round of the competition, which ended Jan. 11. They split a cash prize of $3,000 for losing a total of 172 pounds, or 16.2% of their collective body weight, but individually, they lost more than 18% of their body weight.
...and "after."
And “Fat Chance,” a team made up entirely of educators from Westside High School, was awarded a bonus prize of $1,000 for losing more than 14% of its collective body weight.
Stephanie Barnett-Wilson, Robert Kilzer, Craig Malinsky, Brenden McBride, and Robb Peterson placed fifth out of 202 teams by losing a total of 160 pounds.
