Paralegal Specialist Is Proud To Be the Biggest Loser

By Lynne DeVenny

There aren't many times when you want to brag about being a loser. One of those times is when you beat 300 of your co-workers in a weight loss challenge.

NewsBlaze reports that Spc. Tim Gallups, an Alabama native and Army paralegal specialist currently stationed in Iraq, won his unit's 10-week weight loss competition. He lost nine pounds during the contest, but has lost 24 pounds overall since March 2010, when he arrived in Iraq.

"I did it for my Family," said Gallups. "I'm engaged now, and when I have a Family, I want to be able to run round the yard with my kids and not worry about my health."

Gallups wants to lose 20 more pounds before he returns to Ft. Riley, Kansas. With the unit's competition focusing on nutritional training and physical fitness, he should have no trouble reaching that goal.

Congrats to Gallups for earning the bragging rights as the Enhanced Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Infantry Division's Biggest Loser.
