Rutherford County’s “Biggest Loser” Program
In an effort to bring attention to healthy weight loss and fitness, Rutherford County's Get RutherFIT wellness program is sponsoring the "Biggest Loser" program. This program has been carefully designed to provide the participants with the proper tools and motivation to lose weight in a healthy manner. The Biggest Loser program will run for 26 weeks. Participants will have weekly weigh-in and educational meetings which will last approximately one (1) hour and will meet with a Registered Dietician four (4) times. During the 26 weeks there will be three physical challenges and three take-home challenges.
Contest winner will be
determined using a weighted point system considering percentage of body
weight lost, total inches lost, improvement in resting heart rate,
regular meeting attendance, take-home challenge credits and provider
appointments kept. This person receives the title of "Biggest Loser" and wins the $1000 grand prize.
All participants in the contest will receive:
• Free 26 week membership to the MTMC Wellness Center
• Free assistance from a Registered Dietician and Nutritionist
• Free supervision from a CareHere physician
• Free gym bag
• 26 health & fitness educational meetings
