Local area Dynamic Duo Barbara Easler and
Samantha Barksdale have teamed up to launched a 12 consecutive week non-profit
course that will offer tips on nutrition and exercises, paired with a hint of competition
and lots of fun. This challenge begins Thursday September 9th at 7:00pm
Location: Elegant Nails - 525 N. Main Street Woodruff/Spartanburg.Over one-third of the adult American population is obese, and this disease is gaining momentum. Presently in our very own state of South Carolina, we have the fourth worse obesity rate in the country. In the county of Woodruff alone, over 64% of our residents are obese. This program gives us a chance to fight the battle of obesity by educating people about a better overall lifestyle. The goal is for people to feel good, look great and maintain a healthier lifestyle. There is a $39 entrance fee to join the challenge, of which $25 from each fee collected will be paid out in cash and prizes to the Top 3 “Biggest Losers (Winners!)” who lose the biggest percentage of their weight. It is based on percentage which makes it equal competition for both men and women. $10 from each fee collected will be donated to a local charity, and the remaining $4 will help us advertise this truly exciting event! Participant Janet C., who is leading in a current challenge says, “I almost didn’t come and now I’m glad I did. I’ve lost 12 lbs. So far in 10 weeks and have learned so much! I love the accountability; it has helped me stay on track. I totally enjoy the people, the weekly handout sheets and the discussions. I’m joining the next challenge and bringing my sister with me this time!” Specific rules are in place to keep everyone consistent. Fail to weight in? Pay $2 fee, as well as a $1fee per pound gained. These fees will be added to the cash payout and awarded to the person who lost the most overall inches. There is no specific weight loss program required to join the challenge. Participants may use any weight loss program they’d like, whether it is Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, HerbaLife or a customized plan of their own. We will work with each person to find what works best for them. Seating Is Limited To The First 25 Participants/Must RSVP By September 7th For more information and to pre-register contact Brother at 864-451-7842 or 800-246-2421 or simply reach us on the web at www.wholebodynmind.com.
