For the last six months, Fitness Together and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel teamed up with MyCommunityNOW.com on a unique fitness competition in which six Metro Milwaukee area residents competed to see who has the greatest transformation of their body, health and mind!

The six contestants have received free private personal fitness training and nutritional guidance from the experts at Fitness Together, and have been blogging about the progress that they've made. At the same time, we asked visitors to this Web site to vote for the contestant they thought had made the best progress toward a total transformation.

More than 13,000 votes have been cast -- and the winner will be announced in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Sunday, Aug. 30! We'll also post the results online on Monday, Aug. 31.

As the contest winds down, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Fitness Together and MyCommunityNOW.com would like to thank the 200 people who applied to be a contestant -- and the thousands of people who voted and posted comments to encourage our six contestants throughout the competition.

All six contestants deserve kudos for their commitment to making major changes in their livestyles!
