Five area residents were all competing in the ultimate health and fitness challenge up until today.

And now there is winner.

25-year-old Jonathan Blando took the prize home today. He won an Apple I-Pad.

He has lost over 20 pounds during the five week 2012 Challenge.

He says his goal is to lose more than 100 pounds.

"I've always wanted to lose weight. I have always been a bigger guy and I went to college and gained a whole bunch of weight. I'm a med student so I want patients to look at me and believe what I'm telling them and not look at me and not follow my advice," says Jonathan Blando.

Jonathan says the hardest part was getting himself to go to the gym.

But, he says the contestants all motivated each other throughout the five week process.
