Little Company of Mary, along with four
other Southwest Suburban Chicago hospitals, is participating as a weigh-in
location for the new Lose to Win 10-week healthy weight loss
challenge, 'Lose To Win,' sponsored by the SouthtownStar newspaper. Weekly
prizes will be awarded to (top female and top male) participants who lose
the highest percent body weight. Two grand prize winners will win $500
each.
Our goal is to help
Chicago Southland residents, including Little Company of Mary employees, improve
their health status by achieving a healthier weight.We will do this by offering weight loss
advice during the initial weigh-in week of January 29-31 at the Health Education
Center at Chicago Ridge Mall.
Registration will take place via phone after January 14.Entrants will then be able to come on a
consistent day each week for weekly weigh-ins for 10 weeks, during our weigh-in
hours of:
Tuesday 9 - 11 and 2-4
Wednesday 11-1
Thursday
2-4 and 5-7
Entrants must weigh in at the same
location to be eligible to receive the weekly prizes.The official
contest will offer cash prizes to the contest entrants.At the initial weigh in, entrants will
be asked to show a photo I.D. and to write about why they want to choose a
healthy lifestyle in 50 words or less to use in a news story if they are
winners and in the event of a weight loss tie. Because Little Company of Mary is a
sponsor, our employees are not eligible for the contest's cash prizes or
weekly prizes but may click here to learn more information on employee participation benefits.
