Fulton County will again conduct its popular weight loss and health promotion competition called “Be Healthy Now: Fulton County.” The competition is open to all adults, youth and children who live, work, or worship in Fulton County. The program is being organized by the Fulton County Health Department, the Fulton County Ohio State University Extension Office, and Fulton County Health Center. Initial weigh-ins will be held in February with dates and locations to be announced. The contest kickoff will be held on Saturday, February 27, 2010 at the new Wauseon Middle School. The actual competition begins March 1, 2010. This year there is a biggest loser contest for adults 18+ that will be held on an individual basis. Prizes will be awarded to the top Male and Female biggest losers in two age categories -- those age 49 or younger, and those age 50 or older. New this year will be team competitions open to all ages. Teams will use the American Cancer Society's “Active for Life" program on-line at www.acsactiveforlife.org.
To be eligible for the biggest loser individual prize, contestants must be a member of an Active for Life team, composed of 4 -6 people. Each team member will be required to set an activity goal. Teams that have all members meeting their goal will be eligible for prizes at the end of the competition. Details on the Active for Life program will be presented at the first educational session on March 2 in the Beck Meeting room at FCHC at Noon and again at 7:00 p.m. There is a minimal charge of $5.00 per person to enroll in the program.
