Individual Winner — Joyce FullwoodMore than 20 pounds. That's how much weight Joyce Fullwood lost in 10 weeks. "I thought it would be really difficult," Fullwood said. "I felt a lot of pressure to succeed from my co-workers and from being in the spotlight, but that actually made it easier for me to do what I was supposed to. I needed to be held accountable. Now, this is the best I've felt in years." |
