Biggest Chooser 2025 – Week #8 Recap

BIGGEST CHOOSER 2025 WEEK EIGHT

We have reached the final turn in our competition, the week before the results “go dark.” Ironically, it seems the winner is coming into focus as we approach the darkness. And I suppose it is appropriate that the frontrunner is the Back in Black squad. Okay, enough of this bleak imagery. It is time to shed some light on our results so far.

Everyone is Winning by Losing

Isn’t that the point? Truly the competition this year has been nothing but a positive outcome. Last week alone our participants lost a combined 415 pounds! The accumulated weight loss is over 2,000 pounds. That is staggering and quite impressive.

Individual Success Drives Team Success

Everyone doing their part is cliché’, but so true. Once again Christopher George of Back in Black paced our “losers” with 10.33% of body weight lost. Stacie Smith of the Grey Ghosts was also right there with 9% lost. Sue Powell (Orange You Glad I Didn’t Say Banana) 6.84% and Kelly Holland (Tan the Man) 6.10% also had great weeks. These performances back up the maxim: Discipline beats motivation for sustained success.

Party Time, Excellent

Down the stretch, we come in the final weeks of Biggest Chooser 2025. Congratulations to all “choosers” and their coaches. We now look forward to March 25 and the 6 p.m. celebration at the Lazy River Cabana! Party on, Garth.
