Wow. You floored us with your stories! We really feel honored to have you share a bit of yourself and part of your journey with us and our readers. Some of our favorite moments were reading the comments you left about how incredible the stories were. We completely agree which is what makes the next part hard.

You know how during the awards shows, you sometimes get the person who wins, flustered and while they’re at a loss for words they thank all of the other nominees? We want to personally thank each of you for checking us out and expressing your interest in FitBloggin’. This was not an easy decision and we laud each of you for making the hard choices, the baby steps that led to bigger steps, the desire to share your successes and foibles online with others.

Each of you contributes to helping others be inspired online in the healthy living blogging community and also encourages people to keep at it. Hurrah!

So, now what you’ve all been waiting for.

One lucky winner will win a ticket to attend FitBloggin’ along with $500 to use toward airfare or hotel to get them there. In addition to that, they are invited to attend our happy hour meet-up with our brand ambassadors and street team members the evening before it all begins. The winner will receive a bag full of goodies from attune foods and will help us spread the love about healthy living and how attune foods can factor into a healthy lifestyle at FitBloggin’.

*Drumroll, please*

The winner is Janet Oberholtzer. Her story and the incredible obstacles she overcame really touched us. We loved hearing how food directly related to her healing. The activity group she started makes us want to hike, bike or walk with them just “because we can.” She displayed such an indomitable spirit despite the adversities presented before her. Congrats Janet. We are thrilled to have you be our FitBloggin’ Contest Winner.  Please email annelies at attunefoods dot com for more details.

Thanks again everyone who participated and don’t be a stranger. We like you and this blog is chock full of article / perspectives on healthy living throughout the week.

Be well,
Your friends at Attune Foods
