Fast Forward to Week 6

Now well into the competition, some people seem to be losing their initial momentum, while others are progressing at a consistent pace. Will slow and steady win in the end? We will just have to wait and see!

Let's take a look at the leaders this week:

• John S.: John has always been a fierce competitor, especially in weeks 1 and 2, where he usually starts to lose momentum. Now in week 6, he is still in going strong with a net loss of a staggering 22.5 pounds (not including the 3.5 pounds he claims to have lost on the road since last week -- weighing in remotely doesn't count as an official weight, sorry John).


• Chris: Chris started off in a full sprint, with some speculating that he was not prepared for the marathon that lay ahead of him. Even after some traveling and some much deserved PTO, he still is holding strong with a commanding 21.5 pounds lost and still on a losing streak. Will he be able to pass John in the next two weeks?


• Christy: This three-time FattyFatOff winner is holding her own in this year's competition, inching her way up to third place this week. While she isn't dropping 10 pounds a week like John or Chris, she is working hard and making steady progress. Don't count her out of the running just yet.

Honorable mentions go out to Joe and Renee for their hard work and consistent weight loss throughout the past 6 weeks. They both have shown that they are dedicated to not only losing weight for the sake of this competition, but to long-term choices to be healthier, which is the point of doing this in the first place.
