Paleo Challenge Results

I think this may have been the best Paleo Challenge yet! Way to go guys! Placing the top 4 was the most difficult decision ever. To win you needed to be very well rounded. This meant improvements in baseline measurements, improvements on benchmarks, and most importantly points! All 4 of the top finishers had over 1130 points, which means they hardly if ever cheated, they kept  up on their mobility, and they worked out 5 days/week.  It takes a lot of dedication to sit in one of these top spots, and each of them is well deserved. I can honestly say, that throughout the challenge I saw a change in these winners- whether it be looks, performance, or confidence…they were all experiencing a dramatic transformation and it was really cool to witness. Congratulations top 4, we are so proud of you!!

    congrats to all, great job everyone. amy, you’re absolutely right about how transformations were achieved. just today, 2 of mama schurk’s coworkers commented on how much tonnage i’ve dropped! no better feeling than when people who don’t “have to” say you look good, say you look good. thanx, CFS you guys really are the best!

    Is there any way to get a life sized cardboard cut out of “Sassy Hips” Schurko?

    Incredible results. Great job everyone!

    • Shamwow

      11/21/2012 @ 2:58 am

      Do we have a calculation for how much length Schurk lost on his shorts?

      • LJ

        11/21/2012 @ 3:27 am

        Joe, I’m pretty sure we could have this image to kinko’s tonight and have a life size “sassy hips” Schurko fathead for the box wall by 6am tomorrow.

        Oh, and Great job everyone

        • papa schurk

          11/21/2012 @ 10:58 pm

          where do i send my contribution the create a “sassy hips” fat head fund?

      • Schurko

        11/21/2012 @ 12:10 pm

        It was man-thigh Monday – you know this Shamwow. and LJ, a fathead of that photo would be hilarious.

        Great job everyone!!

        P.S. – 3″ on the shorts. They worked the hardest during the challenge.

        • Shamwow

          11/21/2012 @ 8:24 pm

          I think we’d all be remiss if we didn’t thank your shorts…or man-thigh Monday.

      I like the idea of the life size Schurko. There should be an honorable mention for sexiest pose!
