Questions and Answers
How it works...
We want a healthier you and a healthier community, so we’re here to support you as you lose weight by entering a biggest loser-like contest. We will weigh in on April 11th at our opening meeting at the Lewisburg Gymnastics Center from 4-5 p.m. Each week we will have a time of instruction, starting at 4pm, on how to be healthier, combined with an opportunity to weigh in. The winner will be announced at the Lewisburg Relay for Life Event on June 11, 2010.
Do I have to weigh in every week? No, anyone can enter the contest at any time, but you must have a starting weight and an ending weight to be officially entered into the contest. However, we do strongly suggest you use the weekly weigh ins to hold yourself accountable.
How much is the entry fee?
$30, which includes a pedometer, seminars, workouts, and health screenings. It is non-refundable.
How will this help me lose weight?
In addition to the accountability that the weigh ins provide, there will be a class on most Sundays from 3 to 4 p.m, to help you along in your weight loss journey. Class topics/activities will include nutrition and cooking tips, Zumba instruction, kickboxing, body composition and measurements, just to name a few!!
How will this help me lose weight?The participant with the highest percentage of weight loss during the contest will win half of all the money collected. The other half will be donated to Relay for Life.
Will everyone know my weight?
NO!!!! All information will be kept confidential and weigh ins will be done privately. Weekly emails will be sent with only references to participant’s initials and percentage lost/gained.
