The Fall Fitter.Firmer.Faster Weight Loss Challenge at the Wellness Institute turned pounds lost into turkey for charity.

The official winners of the weigh in on Saturday, December 12th lost 131.8lbs (or 6.6% of their total weight). In celebration of their success, the Wellness Institute donated the equivalent weight in turkeys to the Christmas Cheer Board.

All members of the blue team took home a prize of Wellness Institute gift certificates which can be used towards any of the 130+ programs in Positively Healthy and a range of services.

Anyone interested in taking part in the next challenge can sign up between December 17th and January 7th either online under Classes & Programs or by calling 632-3900. The challenge was designed by a team of experts in fitness, nutrition and behaviour change for safe, effective weight loss. Participants must be ready to commit to support their teams in weekly classes and exercise plans.
