Hello! 29 brave souls participated in the 2008 Taix 8-week Weight Loss Challenge. Congratulations to everyone!

First of all, remember that this contest was judged by improvement in body composition. That means the goal was to lose fat and gain muscle. Absolute pounds lost on the scale can be misleading, so we used change in body fat % to determine the winner.

Here are the results.

Overall, participants lost an average of almost 2.8% body fat. Remember, if you weigh 150 pounds and you lose 2.8% body fat, you have lost 4.2 pounds of fat. That's almost 17 sticks of butter! You could also accomplish this by gaining 4.2 pounds of muscle, or a combination of the two.

On average, the men lost 2.5% and the women lost 2.9%.

On average, bootcampers lost 2.7% and people that work out with a personal trainer lost almost 2.9%.

And now for the winners!

Congratulations!
