Democrat Editor Bob Satnan took home a first-place finish at Thursday night’s Healthy U Night Of Inspiration, leaving the venue 106 pounds lighter than he entered it one year ago.
The event, held in the Stauffacher Theater on the State Fair Community College campus, was the de facto commencement ceremony for the Healthy U class of 2012: Satnan, Redina Yantz, Kathy Burnett, Letty Rodriquez, Lisa Brock, Robin Wollard, Richard DeFord, Alicia Maggert, Amy Schneider, Trish Ballance and Holly Brown. The group undertook a very public yearlong weight loss challenge organized by the Healthy Living Action Group.
