Yay, thanks, Jimmy. I've been wanting to try the Satiatrim! I hoped to win that, second only, of course, to the vacation. It's great that you have sponsors to donate all these awesome prizes.

GREAT JOB, Lisa! I think you'll like the Satiatrim. They're an awesome company and I'm so happy to be working with them to promote their products.

I didn't win...


But the best gift ever is the weight I'll lose low-carbing!

Congrats to all.

THANKS for trying! I'm always running contests, so keep trying.

Hi Jimmy,

Thanks for running the contest and getting all of those fabulous prizes. I am thrilled because I am one of those people who never win anything . . . until now. I look forward to receiving my Aquafina prize!

You rock!

Val

Awesome Valcan! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Yay! I won an Aquafina prize, Thanks for being here Jimmy! You put a lot of time into this and we appreciate it.
Donna

My pleasure, Donna! I'm just happy to be able to reward the people who support the work I do. THANK YOU!

Sweet! I can't believe I won! Thanks Jimmy! Don't know what SATIATRIM is for exactly but am looking forward to checking it out.

Congrats to everyone who won!!!

Hey Rachel, you can find out more about Satiatrim in my YouTube video about it:

CONGRATS!

thanks! I will go check that out.

Hooray! I won something! I just had a feeling I would. Glad I listened to my intuition, and entered!

This was one of my answers:

Quote:e. Who wrote and released the bestselling health book Good Calories, Bad Calories under a cloud of controversy in September 2007?
Gary Taubes wrote it; it's released by Knopf.

I was hoping this was a trick question and that I would be one of the only people who would notice the trick. (But I didn't really think so!)

I won an autographed copy of the book about inflammation. I know very little about this topic, except that I've been hearing about its importance.

Thank you, Jimmy!

SWEET, Vesna! You'll love The Inflammation-Free Diet. Here's a podcast I did with the author of that book, Monica Reinagel:

THANKS for entering! I'm glad you won.

I won! I'm super excited to use my Low Carb U gift certificate -- I'm definitely getting some more of the Livin' La Vida Low Carb bars. Any progress on getting the mint ones Jimmy? You could put me on a subscription service for those. Thanks for everything you do! Long live la vida low carb!

Congratulations to all those who won!!!! You lucky dogs.

THANKS Scotte! Haven't started the mint ones yet...gotta have the raspberry one prove its worth a little longer first. CONGRATS on your win and THANK YOU for entering.

Sorry you didn't win this time around, Shari! But you did get the local grand prize with Isabeau later this year...I look forward to meeting you there and training right alongside you. That's a pretty good prize.

Okay, 1st post and I'm excited that I was the very last winner on the list! I'm excited to get the Guacamole kit! It'll get me prepared for the LC cruise to Mexico in January! Ole!

Thanks Jimmy!
