Greene County's Ultimate Biggest Loser Contest!

Greene County's Ultimate Biggest Loser

Have your employees struggled with their weight? Are they ready to lose weight but need some motivation?

The Greene County Rural Health Network's Healthy Weight Initiative is sponsoring a weight loss contest to help your employees reach and maintain a healthy weight. Guided by the Manageable Challenges weight loss protocol, the 12-week contest, which begins on April 1, is open to all Greene County employers and employees.

Each participating worksite must appoint someone to coordinate events within their site. The Rural Health network will provide you with the materials needed to stay motivated throughout the contest period. Prizes will be awarded to individuals who lose the highest percentage of weight. The first place winner will receive $500 cash; second place $300; third place $150. In addition, $50 gift cards will be awarded to 20 participants with the next highest percentages of weight loss. For more information or to register for the contest, contact Melissa Scheriff: Scheriff1@fairpoint.net or call the Rural Health Network at 943-5072.
