Phillips & Company Spring Slim Down

It might be long sleeve and coat weather now, but before you know it, it will be swimsuit season. The Phillips & Company Morning Show is going to step into Spring, get competitive, and slim down! Guy, Courtney, Kevin “the Intern,” and Jen will go head-to-head in a weight loss challenge. The winner of Phillips & Company’s Spring Slim Down, presented by American Equity Mortgage, will be the one who has the biggest % of weight loss. Our friends at American Equity Mortage will be making a $1,000 donation to the charity associated with each P&Co. member!

Team Guy will be working for GO! St. Louis.
Team Courtney will be working for the American Diabetes Association.
Team Jen will be working for Girls on the Run.
Team Kevin will be working for the American Heart Association.

To keep them motivated these next few weeks, Phillips & Company has decided to make some unusual bets each week. 

Week Three’s Challenge: The show member that loses the smallest % of weight during the week will have to eat someone’s left over lunch out of the company refrigerator…it might not sound that bad, but it is…it will be someone’s lunch from a month ago, because remember, everyone but the Y98 on-air staff has moved to our new building.  Everything was cleaned out but the refrigerator, and the loser will get to eat an aged lunch.

Team Guy is the team for me! I’ve tried My Fitness Pal, supplements, crazy fad diets, etc. Recently, we joined our local Y. I decided to join boot camp. The first class was yesterday (Tuesday) and I had to leave class…twice…to puke! I am still walking like an 87 year old with arthritis! I’m at least 100 lbs over weight and desperately need a change. The last time I felt and looked good was in 2001 and that was when I was working with a trainer. I have 3 little girls (Lily,5; Avery,5; and Finley,2) and am dreading the day I have to come up with a reason I can’t go with them to Six Flags…b/c I won’t fit on the rides. I would have done gastric bypass already but don’t have insurance b/c I work for a non-profit and can’t afford it. My husband will celebrate 10 years of marriage in 2014 and would love to renew our vows 100 lbs lighter! Thank you for your consideration!

 Go Team Courtney! I am all in.  I am supporting Courtney because I feel I can relate the best with her personality wise.  I feel like hearing her every morning discuss her workouts and accomplishments will help to motivate me.  I feel like someone that cracks me up as much as she does in the mornings deserves my support.  Good Luck Courtney I will be working my butt off right along with u.  This mommy needs to be able to feel confident chasing her babies around the swimming pool.  With 3 kids pool time is about the only thing that wears them out so I need to do some work. GOOD LUCK!

I would like to joint Team Jen! I feel like I can relate with her more. I also struggle with infertility and I know what she was going through. I have been going to the gym for a few months now and have also joined a work out class. With my infertility problem, I have notice that it is hard to drop the pounds. After I heard that she was pregnant with Finn, I was ecstatic for her and her husband. Then when I heard she was pregnant with another, it only gave me hope that one day I will be able to experience what she is going through. I love that you guys are doing this challenge; it might just help others get out there and work out more. I listen to the show every day and love all of you!  GO TEAM JEN!!!

Team Kevin Super Fan:  Tia

 I want to be on Team Kevin. I have been a fan of the morning show for a very long time and I really like Kevin’s humor. He and I share a passion for Star Wars and Star Trek! I think that Kevin will do an amazing job on this challenge and I would cheer him to victory all of the way! Being on team Kevin I would also like to challenge myself to slim down and get fit. I am hoping I can be a crutical member of Kevin’s team. Please pick me to be on Team Kevin!
