This is what I won:
"A grand prize to the Biggest Loser! Body PRO from Personal Training Institute– A Full Feature Program for Optimum Weight Loss & Fitness! Get up to 3 strength training sessions each week that you may schedule on non-consecutive days. You get a weekly private nutrition consultation and individualized program guided by a registered dietician and designed for your body type and lifestyle, and to meet your individual fitness goals. You will also get unlimited use of our cardio studio during regular facility hours. This is the package for those who are seriously ready to get in shape, lose weight, get and stay fit."

That is great!!! What a prize! How long do you get 3 training sessions per week?

I think it's for a year, but I'm not sure. I have never had a trainer before, so this will be pretty cool regardless of how long I have it for. I'm most excited about the title, to be perfectly honest. lol

LOL!!!! Well, I can understand that too. However, that's a HUGE prize. Personal training sessions can cost $50, $100 or more per session.

Congratulations Cory! You're an inspiration to everyone on MFP. You deserve this prize, so enjoy!

Very cool! I was inspired to help you along even though we aren't friends, because I'd seen it on other friend's posts and saw how close the race was. It was exciting to try and get you to win at the last second and I even spammed my wall out of excitement for trying to see if we could do it for ya(I even registered my other email at the last few minutes to keep pushing it lol)! So cool that it worked especially since I saw the other main contender was getting votes at the end too, congrats and enjoy the prize! :drinker:

I love MyFitnessPal.

Why?

Not only because it helps me keep track of my food and exercise.

Not only because it has made me more aware of how I treat my body.

Not only because of the helpful threads and the amusing threads and the occasionally aggravating threads.

The #1 reason why I love MyFitnessPal is YOU.

Yes, you.

You come in all different shapes and sizes. Some of you are morbidly obese, like I started, while others are competing in fitness competitions and still others are struggling to gain weight to get healthy.

You come from all different places – I know people from Australia, New York, and even a itty-bitty town a couple of hours away from Tucson, where I live.

You have different value systems, different political beliefs, different EVERYTHING.

But you know what we all have in common?

We are all here to support one another and to build each other up. To help each other succeed.

When I entered the Biggest Loser Tucson contest, you really pushed hard to help me.

You voted, you shared with your friends and family, and you generally went above and beyond.

Most of you don’t know me in real life, and a lot of you are not even friends with me on here, but you supported me anyway and that means SO much to me.

So thank you, MFPals. Thank you so much for the opportunity to share my story with people.

I know that, even more importantly than winning the contest, you gave me the tremendous blessing of having my story shared with many, many people that would never have seen it otherwise, and I hope they were encouraged.

Thank you.

PS - special thanks to MereMe, GorillaNJ, bry_all01, purplebabe2025, sarah44254, kimcat73, chelekaz, thedreamhazer, thunt1990 and all of the others who totally spammed you all to get me the votes (I'm super sorry if I forgot to mention you by name)!

Thanks to you, no kittens had to cry.

You deserve it and are such an inspiration!! Congratulations!

Congratulations! I'm so happy you won! Thanks for all the inspiration you provide on MFP!

purplebabe2025

So I waited so that I could see if you won which made my workout late, but I did more than I wanted and I still missed all this fun.
So glad I got to be your friend in time for this and glad I finally managed to post it on my page. Well done girl, total inspiration, specially with the purple dress, lol.
