In the Winner’s Weight Loss Circle
Eight eight-woman teams took the Healthy Fit Challenge and lost a total of 400 pounds in an eight-week program. To celebrate their achievement, Healthy Fit held an awards ceremony July 1. Felicia Dileo of Rye, who lost 24 pounds, was the individual winner for the greatest weight-loss percentage.
The club organized the Challenge to help members keep up their commitment to nutrition and fitness. “While this was our goal, it turned out that each participant gained so much more,” said Martha Kaplan, program advisor. “We heard about the sacrifices members made to not let their team down. We saw teams working out hard and enjoying themselves. Pulling together to reach a goal unified a diverse group of women.”
Each member of the winning team received a $150 gift card for club services and the individual winner a $150 gift card and two personal training sessions.
