                      Biggest Loser Challenge  
                   Participant Information Sheet 
    What is the Biggest Loser Challenge (BL)? 
    The BL challenge is a 15-week motivational program to help you improve your health.   BL is not a prescription 
    diet plan or quick fix, rather it is focused on helping you  make small  behavior changes such as eating a piece of 
    fruit and walking daily.  Regular exercise and at least five servings of fruits and vegetables per day are proven 
    weight loss methods.   
    Who can participate? 
    EVERYONE and ANYONE over the age of 16.    
    How does the program work? 
    The program  requires that each registered participant complete the following: 
       Participate in the first supervised weigh-in 
       Participate in at least one supervised weekly weigh in before the final weigh-in 
       Participate in the final supervised weigh-in 
     
    The more weekly weigh-ins you attend, the greater your chances of losing weight, so make an effort to attend 
    more than one weekly-weigh in.  There are other optional activities you can participate in that will help you 
    increase your physical activity and eat better.  See reverse side of this sheet.

       15-week Eat Smart Move More (ESMM) Weigh Less Educational Program  (see ESMM flyer). 
      
     We also encourage you to adopt a regular walking regimen.  Start with two days per week for 15 minutes and 
     add 10 minutes each week until you reach 150 minutes per week (i.e.  5 days 30 minutes).  Walk with a friend 
     or put on some good music to help you stay motivated.
