That was then... This is now... Wait to see what will be!
PIERCE COUNTY, WA – Karie Franks, of Spanaway, was crowned the winner of the first Fit For A Cause, June 19th, after completing a training and education routine at Callaway Fitness. Franks lost 47.2 lbs. and 20.31% of her body weight while competing for the last 12 weeks with 29 other contestants from across Pierce County. For her achievement, Franks won a 12 month membership to Callaway Fitness, the right to compete in Fit For A Cause II free of charge and $1500.00 for her charity, Experience Church Missions Group.
Franks, a proud mother of three, asked if this event changed her responded, “ABSOLUTELY! This has been a complete lifestyle change in so many ways. I would like to think it has changed more than just me, including my family, friends, and all those that have been inspired through this process”.
Franks followed with, “I will continue living this new healthy lifestyle and live a much longer, happier, healthier life! A lot of the contestants from Fit For a Cause are like family now and we will continue with workouts and weekly weigh-ins after the finale for accountability as well as for friendship. It is much more fun working out with others I must say – the time goes quicker! But regardless, I know that all things are possible! I have lost almost 50 pounds and my goal of another 30 pounds will come off as well!”
And here I am… blessed to be a part of Fit for a Cause 2 and ready to take on the challenge of shedding more pounds and raising more money for charity!
