October Slim & Strong Winners: 3.5% body fat lost!

The October participants of Slim & Strong buckled down on their eating (and drinking!). I know for a fact that two of the top participants decided to lay off the booze for a few weeks. And, it actually worked because alcohol calories cannot be used for energy. They go pretty much straight into fat storage, so please don't drink a beer before your next boot camp workout. It's not going to fuel you! :-) Monica took home 1st place:  Weight loss: 8.4 lbs Body fat loss: 3.5% Muscle lost 1.71 lbs or 1.7% 6.7 lbs of pure fat lost Congrats to your $200 shopping spree at City Sports!
