Steve Harvey hosts a weight-loss challenge between two teams. Team Jorge lost 242 pounds collectively in eight weeks, with members dropping 39 to 55 pounds each and winning $50,000. The group credits the Tiny and Fool plan for changes that affected their weddings, confidence, and lives.
In January, I put one group of coworkers on Lacey's 8 Weeks to Change plan and had them face off against another group of coworkers who did Jorge's Tiny and Fool plan. Now we've already seen how much weight Team Lacey lost. Now it's Team Jorge's turn. Remember, there's $50,000 at stake for the winning team. So here's how Team Jorge looked at the start of the competition.
Audience, are you ready to see Team Jorge? Folks, here they are, Team Jorge. Okay guys on Team Jorge, how do you feel?
How about start with you, Jen?
I feel great. On Tiny and Full, I lost 49.2 pounds.
Yeah, Jenny.
Yes.
And last time I was here, I was worried about finding a wedding dress. And I'm so excited. I made an appointment next week to meet with all 11 of my bridesmaids, my mom, my mother-in-law. And I'm just excited to share this new experience with everybody.
Yeah.
Very nice.
Good.
Emily?
It's been incredible. Just like Jen, I'm getting married 2 weeks behind her. And I already have my wedding dress., but they're gonna have to take it in 3 sizes because I've lost 45 pounds.
Woo!
I'm so excited and so blessed. My fiancé Sam couldn't be here last time, but he's here with me today.
Yeah! Woo-hoo!
He waving like this.
He the happiest dude in the room, Sam. Yes, I'm the fiancé.
Yes, it's me.
My girl.
All right, Shuresh.
Jorge's taught us so much, and he really taught me how to turn a diet into a lifestyle. Before this, I was popping buttons off my work pants, and now they are too loose for me. They don't even fit, and I've lost 54.2 pounds.
54 pounds! Yeah. In 8 weeks? In 8 weeks? Yeah.
OK.
I don't know who the—
I think that's my aunt. Caitlin?
Yes.
Hi, how are you?
Good.
So like Suresh said, this was such a learning experience. I've lost 39 pounds since— Woo! Since the story.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Weighed this number in like 6 years, so it's awesome. I think one of the best things was the support we all got. I mean, I've had people messaging me saying, you know, I haven't talked to you in years, like, this is so inspiring, you are all so amazing. Just, it's been such an amazing experience. It's been awesome.
That's really good. And Alicia.
Yeah. I'm sorry, I'm trying really hard not to cry. 2015 was probably the worst year of my life, and I am so grateful and honored that I could start off 2016 with such a literal bang. In 8 weeks, I've completely changed my life, and I never thought that that could happen to me. I never thought I could be one of those girls who loved herself so much that she makes a heart on her tummy all the time. And, um, in 8 weeks, I've lost 55 pounds.
Wow.
Well, Team Jorge, come on down. Let's get to the numbers.
At the start of the challenge, Team Jorge weighed 1,000. 188.6 pounds. To beat Team Lacey, they need to lose more than 13.95%. All right, did they pull it off?
Yeah!
