The Super Size Of Challenges

ATI Colleagues are taking on the New Year in a BIG way with another round of the Biggest Loser Challenge. Only this time, the challenge is much BIGGER; it is the Super-Size of challenges.

On January 5, 45 American Training Colleagues weighed in and took on an eight-week weight-loss challenge.  Each Colleague paid $20.00 toward the challenge pot. Our President and CEO even kicked in a few extra dollars to bring the total prize pot to a whopping $1K.

Come February 27th, the Colleague who loses the most weight will win the $1,000 jackpot. To help everyone maximize their efforts, we’ve been sending weekly motivational emails, hosting weekly Zumba nights, and partnering with local gyms for group workout sessions, like this one a few weeks ago at Title Boxing.

With this being our second go-around with the Biggest Loser, we thought we’d share tips from the competitors in the first challenge and even a few who are finding success now.

Our Biggest Losers’ weight-loss tips:

• Prepare your lunches the night before.
• Drink a lot of water.
• Cut down on soda. Many advise you to cut it out. Just cut down. Then you won’t binge.
• Cut your portion sizes.
• Plan ahead and pack a healthy lunch each day with healthy snacks to hold you over until supper time.
•  Think of ways to get moving more during the winter.  It’s not easy.
• Take the stairs everywhere you go.
• Schedule meal prep time and workout time, so you know you can and will fit it in.

Stay tuned as we head towards the final stretch with just a few days left, as we increase workouts, decrease calories, and motivate one another.
