It was an amazing afternoon here in Miami, as TLS Weight Loss Solution announced the winners of its fourth Find Your Fit Challenge.
Scott Maimone of Manlius, New York, was awarded a check for $15,000 as the 2013 Fall Challenge Individual winner, while Missi Mitchell of Maitland, Florida, and Kelly Whited of Orlando, Florida, were awarded $50,000 for winning the team challenge.
In total, TLS awarded $100,000 in prizes to first, second and third place contestants in both individual and group categories. In addition, a dozen more participants were given $1,000 awards for their inspiring stories of weight loss success.
Maimone lost more than 64 pounds over the 12-week challenge, and credits the TLS Weight Loss Solution program for improving his health:
As soon as people ask me how I lost weight, I talk about TLS. I believe anyone that has the drive, the support of the people around you, and a concrete plan, anyone can succeed like I did.
The 12-week TLS Find Your Fit 2013 Fall Challenge began in August. This recent challenge had a special twist: After the TLS corporate team narrowed down the finalists, the winners were selected by the general public in an online vote held on tlsSlim.com.
“We were very pleased with the response from the public,” said Dennis Franks, executive vice president of Market America | SHOP.COM. “They didn’t have an easy choice, either, as all of the finalists had impressive results thanks to the TLS program.”
Since the inaugural TLS Find Your Fit Challenge in the spring of 2012, more than 8,000 people have participated and lost more than 35,000 pounds. Over that time, TLS has awarded more than $200,000 to those who have shown exceptional results.
