Final Weigh-In

It's official. We didn't win the cruise, but we are feeling better than ever. Our final weigh-in last week really motivated us to keep on losing! And here are the final results:

Jeff
Total weight: 29.4 pounds
Total inches: 13.75 inches

Kacey
Total weight: 16.2 pounds
Total inches: 10.5 inches

Even more encouraging than our weight and inches lost is how much healthier we are. When we began on Jan. 25, they took our blood pressure and heart rate. Both of these factors dropped dramatically for Jeff and me. Jeff's blood pressure dropped from 154/90 to 123/74, and his resting heart rate went from 75 to 48 bpm. My blood pressure was at 127/83 and is now 116/74. My heart rate dropped from 70 to 53 bpm.

It's exciting to know making healthy choices and exercising really pays off. Although the contest is over, we are continuing to pursue a healthy lifestyle!
