An update from the Atlanta Controltrim Weight Loss Challenge

It's been a month since the last time we checked in with our 10 Atlanta Controltrim Weight Loss Challenge women, and the race is really heating up.

This month's front-runners are Alora Gaddy and Theresa Conklin. They're leading the weight-loss pack with 13 pounds apiece since the race's start.

That puts Alora's current weight at 175 pounds -- down 5 pounds from the last update. And Theresa currently weighs 171 pounds -- also down 5 pounds. Talk about neck and neck!

Then we have Susie Powell, who's close behind with a total weight loss of 12 pounds. And just two pounds behind her is Kari Conkle, now 10 pounds lighter.

Together, all 10 women have lost a total of 73 pounds. Way to go, ladies! Keep up the great work. And readers, keep checking in each month to see the results of the challenge. It's getting exciting!

Here's Alora Gaddy today, 13 pounds lighter than her starting weight two months ago:
