We believe in healthy living at The WORD Church and we invite you throw on your workout clothes, lace up your running shoes and join us for one of the most rewarding Summers of your life by joining our new TWC Wellness Challenge, “The Biggest Loser”!  With childhood and adult obesity rising in the United States, as well as an increase in the prevalence of diseases such as diabetes and hypertension in the African American population, it is never too early to start making healthy lifestyle changes to lower the risk of developing these conditions. 

The WORD Church’s “Biggest Loser Challenge,” will be an 8-week challenge (July 2^nd – August 20^th) encouraging weight loss, exercise, and lifestyle changes. The challenge is an opportunity for participants to come together in their weight loss efforts by encouraging and motivating each other to be the “BIGGEST LOSER”.  Every Saturday, beginning July 2^nd participants will weigh-in, have their percentage body weight lost from the previous week calculated, and have an opportunity to join a free fitness session sponsored by The Fulfillment Project and BU4U Fitness. Weekly emails with the top 5 “biggest losers” of the week as well as motivating tips for weight loss and exercise will be sent to participants.  The final weigh-in will be on Saturday, August 20^th!  The top participant with the highest percentage of weight loss from the initial weigh-in to the final weigh-in will be awarded a cash prize of $250.00, a yearlong membership to Planet Fitness and title of “Biggest Loser”!

1. Donate $20.00 per person, (proceeds will be used towards prizes for the winner and the remaining will be donated to this years “Back-2-School” Jamboree)
