Initial Weigh-In Dates: February 3-9, 2025
Final Weigh-In Dates: April 21-25, 2025

TIEBREAKERS

In the event of a tie between two or more participants in either Percentage of Weight Lost or Percentage of Muscle Gain, body fat percentage will be used to break the tie.  YMCA staff will determine, in its sole discretion, which participant had greater body fat percentage reduction from initial to final check-in as detailed on the InBody scan.
