JACKSON, Tenn.- Sometimes it is a good thing to be considered a loser. Wednesday night in Jackson, 247 people, divided into 120 teams battled to see who could lose the most weight. The team that came in first place was Laurinda Reed and Marlee Lucius who together lost 59 pounds. The first place overall male winner, Mike Sanders lost 29 pounds and the first place overall female winner, Laurinda Reed shed 33 pounds. Organizers said this was a fun way to get in shape. “Overall, you just feel better and that’s kind of what we are trying to accomplish is helping people with healthier decisions and healthier lifestyle changes,” said Lisa Ragsdale, with Regional Hospital. This was the eighth year for the event. After the ceremony the event ended with a 5K run.
