Week 2!

Hi Everyone!
Tonight we will be learning about proteins, fats, and carbs. Are you able to identify them? Come out tonight and test your knowledge! Please bring a calculator and your food journal as we will be using the book to track food.
Last week we had 33 people register and together we weigh 6880 lbs.!!!!! We also raised $330.00 for Help a Child Smile. Way to go!
Who will be the biggest loser tonight and win the pot?? Only those who attend the meeting are eligible so don't miss your chance to win!
Please bring your $1.00 to weigh-in and $10.00 for the book if you want one. (Highly recommended)

Back by Popular Demand!

Hi everyone!
We are so excited about doing the "Biggest Loser, St. George" again!! We will be kicking off Biggest Loser on Wednesday, March 24, 2010. This year most of our meetings will be held at the Memorial Hall in St. George on Main St. across from the Post Office, beside the Party Supply Store! We have great events planned for this year with another awesome prize that will be going to the contestant with the highest percentage lost!

** IMPORTANT!! Please note this year's changes to the contest. We want to help others as we help ourselves, so this year there will be a $10.00 entry fee to register, which will be donated to Help a Child Smile! Each week, there will be a $1.00 weigh-in fee, and the biggest loser of the week will win the pot! (no person may win more than 2 weeks in a row and must attend the meeting. Remember... research shows that people who attend meetings lose 80% more weight!)

The Biggest Loser club will meet for 12 weeks on Wednesdays, starting March 24, 2010 and have two weigh-in times each week, as well as a 20-30 minute Health Talk or exercise class. Keep checking the blog to find out where the class will be held each week!

Please drop by the office during our business hours to sign up.
Mon: 2:30-7:00 pm Wed: 7:30-10:30 am and 6:00-8:30 pm Thurs: 2:00-6:00 pm.

It is also important to get your Body Composition Analysis done, and Diane of St. George Fitness has generously agreed to do this for us! You will need to get a "Before" measurement done, and when Biggest Loser is completed, an "After" body composition analysis (BCA) which will help you to see your progress. This can be done on opening night during the meeting, or at the gym Mon-Thurs 2:30-7:00 and on Saturday morning 8:00-12:00.

Weigh-in times:Wednesday: 10:15-11:15 AM at Sommer Chiropractic Clinic (75 Main St. S. Unit C, behind Dentist and Pharmacy) or 7:45-8:30 PM at the Memorial Hall (across from Post Office beside Party Supply Store) Health Talk: 8:30
