When it comes to Extra Weight...

It's Good to be a LOSER!

Two local women are offering a summer challenge with an informal group. We are promoting a 12 week healthy choices program. The idea came from the NBC television's hit reality show "The Biggest Loser." We are offering a weight loss challenge within the program but not everyone has to do that. Those who want to join the weight loss challenge will pay an entry fee. At the end of the 12 weeks, the three biggest losers, by percentage, in the weight loss challenge will share the pot. People don't have to do the challenge to do the class. The challenge is something extra within the program that we thought would be lots of fun and a good way to encourage people to stay on track, like the TV show, "The Biggest Loser."

The ultimate purpose of the program is to inform and encourage people about healthy choices with regards to eating and exercising. We are not registered nutritionists, or weight loss or fitness professionals, we have just learned some things through personal experience. We have both had challenges with losing weight and getting in shape. One of the important things is it helps to work with someone. The purpose in putting on the 12-week program is simply because they want to share what they have learned with others in the community. We thought it would be fun to do the class together to give back. It's a way to help with the overall health of our community.

No specific weight loss program is required; the class supports any healthy weight loss program.

The first meeting is scheduled for 6:30 at the Tequesta Parks and Recreation Building Tuesday November 3, 2009. Call 561-575-1897 for more information.
