The Arriba! Community Weight Loss Challenge for September has just come to an end with some great success stories for some of the participants! First prize of £250 was given to local lad Jason Scott who lost an amazing 34lbs in weight, lost 5% body fat and 15 inches. He feels great and looks amazing! Everyone who joins the challenge always feels much better about themselves and more confident. A lot of success can be achieved within 12 weeks !
The Challenge takes the participants’ through a 12 week course, teaching them about different aspects of nutrition – related to weight loss. The club is held at Agnew Community Centre on a Thursday evening and provides an informal and friendly setting. The next challenge is due to start on Thursday 10th Jan 2013 at 6.30pm.
As well as a weekly weigh in and a different topic of learning each week, every participant has a one to one appointment so that their specific nutrition and diet problems can be addressed. As well as measuring weight, body fat % and hydration are looked at and monitored over the weeks so that participants get to see their statistics improving which really helps in terms of motivation.
Arriba! Club Leader Jules says “This unique mix of education and motivation, with the added incentive of winning a cash prize is providing Newton Aycliffe’s slimmer’s with a solution that works. I have been around people who have lost weight, improved their health and made new friends which is lovely to see – including myself. I became part of this because I saw how effective the challenge was”
The 12 week Weight Loss Challenge costs £39 to join. The finishing prizes are based on percentage body weight lost and participants can win up to £300 (depending on number of participants joining the challenge!).
Newton Aycliffe based Arriba! Leader Jules also offers 1:1 weight loss coaching for those that are unable to attend a class. If you would like to book your place – contact Jules now on 07966 968388 as I think Jan challenge will be a busy one !!!
