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 its fourth "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 4 program will run for 12 weeks starting March 10, 2008 and ending June 23, 2008.  Participants will have weekly weigh-in meetings which will last approximately 1 hour and will meet with a Registered Dietician once a week for 30 minutes. Every two weeks there will be a team weight loss challenge. The team losing the greatest percentage of weight during that period will win the challenge.  There will be prizes for each team challenge winner.  The participant who has the largest overall percentage of weight loss at the end of the contest will be the Biggest Loser and win the $1000 grand prize.  All participants in the contest will receive:

  • Free 12 week membership to the MTMC Wellness Center

  • Free assistance from a Registered Dietician and Nutritionist

  • Free supervision from a CareHere physician

  • Free gym bag

  • 12 health & fitness educational meetings

Throughout the program the progress of each participant will be followed. There will be photos, videos, food & exercise diaries, and comments from the participants posted on the website.
