mySKiN&CO’s latest Fat-Loss Challenge at the B’Kara Local Council was a success. Tuesday 6th March 2012 was the last session – where the results and the winners were announced.
Simone had the greatest percentage of total body fat lost at 8.7%. Simone lost a total weight of 9.13kg. In second and third place were Anna, who lost 4.89%, 3.7kg, and Catherine who lost 4.73%, 3.6kg.
Worth noting is that there was another participant who would have placed within the first three – Annalize who lost 6.49%, 6.3kg (by the 6th week, which was on 14th February, when she was last weighed) – but unfortunately she was not present for the last session.
The Fat-Loss Challenge is a NEW concept and FUN group programme that meets weekly for 8 weeks. It is a healthy competition among participants who have similar weight loss goals. The fact that participants are weighed every week, makes the Challenge a success. However the focus is on losing not more than 1 kg a week – and to make sure that the participants are eating healthy and losing fat and not muscle or just water content. The Challenge’s focus is on educating participants on good nutrition for life while feeling part of a fun Community Event! The classes, which are presented in a fun way, include information about reading labels, going shopping, boosting metabolism, burning fat, exercise tips and staying healthy. After the 8 weeks, the participants are equipped with enough knowledge and awareness to make healthy choices with regards to food, and exercise. Hence, the weight would stay off, since this is a permanent lifestyle change.
The Fat Loss Challenge starts with a body composition analysis, where each participant’s body fat is analyzed together with their BMI (metabolism) and muscle mass. Body Measurements are taken, and a nutrition analysis is done. By analyzing each individual’s results, a programme (including exercise recommendations, customized meal plans and body treatments) is then customized according to participant’s body type, goals, health background, food likes and dislikes, lifestyle and budget to achieve a healthy weight. As the weeks progress, the programme is evaluated and adjusted accordingly so that each participant is ensured success.
I am proud of all the participants in this challenge and hope they are encouraged to continue their healthy lifestyles and share their successes with others. mySKiN&CO supports the commitment to make improvements in health and achieve fat loss by healthy eating and exercise.
Simone, the winner with the greatest percentage of body fat lost, received a Guam Seaweed Mud (value of Euro 33.14). The second and third place winners received Full Body Aromatherapy Massage (value of Euro 30) and Protein Snack Bars (value of Euro 14.10). These products / treatments will continue helping them in their Healthy Living Lifestyle.
The next Challenge at B’Kara Local Council will be starting on 20th March 2012 at 6pm.
