Mayor's Weight Loss Challenge
Dear 2010 Challengers,
I am incredibly proud of all that you have accomplished over the last 16 weeks. Many of you shared your success stories … from reducing blood pressure and thyroid medications to coming off of sleep apnea machines … directly related to your weight loss and new lease on living a healthy lifestyle.
Collectively, we lost a total of 2,326 pounds. That is a lot of excess weight that was dragging us down, and preventing us from feeling healthy and looking healthy. What an amazing transformation we have all made.
In addition to bi-monthly weigh-ins, our program offered a support group, 5k training, educational lectures, supermarket tours with nutritional counseling and free exercise classes. I hope that you enjoyed every facet of this program. It is also my wish that you “pay it forward” by teaching your children, your family members and friends everything that you learned. It would be wonderful to see our community become one that is active and healthy - together!
So, enjoy your success – you worked hard and deserve all the happiness. Remember, this may be the end of the Challenge, but it is the beginning of healthier living!
Congratulations.
Sincerely,
Joanne Cocchiola
Mayor
