Local Teams Drop 940 Pounds In Subway® Weight Loss Challenge

The Subway® Biggest Weight Loss Team Challenge came to an end on Nov. 21 and the contestants helped the contest live up to its name.

More than 90 teams started the weight loss journey and eight weeks and three weigh-ins later, the 34 teams who finished lost a combined 940 pounds.

In third place was Team Yes We Can. Felicia and Valerie lost 51.4 pounds and gained something a lot more valuable than their $250 prize check.

"Like I told Val, whether we win or not, I’m a winner regardless because I haven't weighed what I weigh now since before I had my son. So I haven't been in this area for a long time," Felicia said.

Jamie and Carrie of Braddock named themselves The Flabulous Sisters. They went from flab to fab after dropping 55 pounds.

That was good enough for second place and a $500 prize.

"My clothes are loose, I have more energy, I can breathe better, get up the steps better. I'm still gonna continue after this and try and get down to an ultimate goal," Jamie said.

The grand prize went to Erica and Jim of Team Ten Pounders.

They lost 68 pounds which was an amazing 14 percent of their starting weight.

"We're one of those that you lose, gain, lose gain and this time we said we're gonna stick with it and continue, from here on out," Erica said.

Erica and Jim are going to need some new clothes after losing that much, and the thousand dollar grand prize should help them get started.

Congratulations to all of our teams!
