We have a winner among stars!

At the start of 2008, six people from across the country committed to a healthier lifestyle that included being more physically active and eating better. Along the way, we followed the positive changes they made and their day-to-day challenges.

We are pleased to announce our 2008 Start! Challenge winner: Congratulations, Mike Wilson! Mike amazingly went from 360 to 317 lbs, lowered his BMI, blood pressure and cholesterol after setting some impressive goals for himself. We congratulate each of our Start! Challengers on their success! The voting may be over, but you may still visit our Challengers and continue to share your healthy lifestyle stories.

Thank you to Medical City Dallas Hospital for helping us with our National Start! Challengers health assessments.
