The 1st Annual "The Bakersfield Loser" Weight Loss Challenge
Total weight lost 7231 pounds in 12 weeks
Body Xchange Health Clubs and our partners Brighthouse Networks, American General Media, and The Law Offices of Jonathan Barnes are proud to introduce the 1st Annual "The Bakersfield Loser" Weight Loss Challenge. Never before has there been a local or regional competition with so much at stake that challenges and pushes participants to their limit in their pursuit of $25,000 in cash and prizes and be the first person to be named "The Bakersfield Loser".
The journey started Dec 1st with a grand media campaign annoucing the event and December being the month to sign up. Registrations were from Dec 1st thru Dec 31st but there was a limit of 300 total participants. The entries came in steady but as soon as Christmas was over the flood gates opened and we sold out the event with 1 day to go. Unfortunately we had to turn away over 100 procrastinators that came to sign up on Dec 31st. Maybe next time.
Our first weigh-in was January 2nd and it was certainly a day to remember. All 300 participants with family members for support in 1 location ready to sign in, get their "before" picture taken, and for the first time step on the scale "that doesn't lie"! Needless to say there were many that were surprised at how much they really did weigh. Like they didn't know! It was a fun day full of surprises, tons of information, seminars all day long, and many questions from everyone. Let the games begin!
This competition is not for the faint of heart as the rules dictate weigh-ins every Saturday from Jan 2nd thru March 27th and an immediate elimination if you missed a weigh-in. We know that if you are going to change your lifestyle and you are serious about losing weight and getting healthy, YOU will have to sacrifice.
We completed our competition and we are so proud and thrilled in losing a combined weight of over 7231 pounds. That is an avergage of over 23 pounds per person for over 300 people. Simply a magnificent job. We are especially proud of the following 5 contestants that stood above the rest in the overall competition.
