Team NIFB Challenge Update

It's been awhile since we've checked in with NIFB's Pound for Pound Challenge teams.  Trying to track down these busy Food Bank staffers is no simple task.  They are working hard to help so many of our hungry neighbors that it's rare to find all team members in the building at the same time!

Below are the results from the teams first weigh in since the start of the Challenge.  Remember, the Volunteer Department has challenged the Agency Department to see who can lose the most percent of their team weight.  How are the teams doing?  .....

Volunteer Team Weigh-In:

Starting = 866 pounds

Current = 854 pounds

Loss = 12 pounds!

Team Goal: To lose 66 pounds together.

Agency Team Weigh-In:

Starting = 976

Current = 958

Loss = 18 pounds!

Team Goal: For each member to reach their own personal goal.

Way to go teams!  Keep up the hard work.  We'll check in on both teams again in a month or so............and the Challenge continues!
