Five teams of ten competed in our Fitter.Firmer.Faster pilot weight loss program, for a combined weight loss of 609.6 lbs. On average, participants lost a healthy 12lbs each during the program. In the end, the winning team was the black team, losing 144.2 lbs or 8.87% of their total body weight!

In celebration of their weight loss success, The Wellness Institute donated 350 jars of baby food (weighing in at 175 lbs) to Winnipeg Harvest through Hunger For Hope. Members and visitors participated by making their own donations of most-needed baby food items.   

Based on the success of the program, Fitter.Firmer.Faster. will become part of our regular weight loss programs which each offer a safe, effective alternative to fad diets. Anyone interested in taking part will be able to find registration details in the fall issue of Positively Healthy magazine, released mid-August.
