SPARTA — Megan Minutolo of Wantage was recently announced as the winner of Dr. G’s Weight Loss & Wellness Summer Weight Loss Challenge. Minutolo was among a total of 17 contestants enrolled in Dr. G’s Weight Loss program. The contest was designed to provide participating clients with additional motivation and support during the challenging summer months.

To qualify for the program and contest, all of the participants underwent a comprehensive medical evaluation. The qualifying contestants were then challenged to comply with doctor’s orders, practice healthy eating and exercise regularly.

Minutolo lost approximately 17.3 percent of her weight in three months. The key to her success was her determination. In addition to following the doctor’s prescribed program, Minutolo made it a priority to walk five times per week. She then transitioned to running on the treadmill, as her stamina improved. She also used Dr. G’s protein bars and shakes to curb carb cravings in between meals.

Stacie Erlemann of Andover and Lisa Brosko of Succasunna finished in second and third place respectively. Erlemann lost just under 17 percent of her weight, while Lisa finished at 14 percent.
