Healthy Low-Carb Living Great Start Giveaway Winners

On Jan. 4th we announced that we have were having a giveaway to celebrate the new year and help you succeed with your low-carb goals in 2008. All you had to do was look at the photos posted and send in your guesses along with your name and address. Even if all your guesses were wrong, you were entered into the drawing. The point was to have fun, make you think a bit, and give away some fantastic prizes. I think it's safe to say Mission Accomplished!

The response was overwhelming and many of you mentioned how much fun you had in the process. I can only hope it's been as half as fun for you as it has been for me! I've enjoyed this so much and I'm sad to see it ending. But I'm looking forward to our next giveaway which we'll be announcing within the next several weeks. :0)

Thanks to the generosity of so many wonderful people who strive to help the low-carb community, 10 of you will soon own some of the best low-carb products and books available! We had 124 entries and I wish we could have given each one of you a prize.


A basket containing all the entries we received!


I'm sure you are ready to get on with announcing the winners, but first we need to solve the mystery pictures! These turned out to be tougher than I'd thought they'd be. But you all had such great guesses! And I honestly never thought about how similar some items look up close!

No one got them all right, but some came pretty close! We had 5 people who guessed 6 out of 8 correct and I want to recognize them here for their great eye for details!

    Congratulations to all the winners!

    Those photos were even harder than I thought - I think Jello was the only one I got right! Thanks for the fun contest. It was tough being in suspense over the photos for that long!
