Mission Statement
The purpose of this positive, life-changing event is to promote
a healthier lifestyles campaign through proper diet and exercise.
Obesity is an ever-growing problem. Diet fad shortcuts are the
norm and produce short-lived results that, in the end, add extra
pounds on and can harm your health. The only way to properly
maintain a healthier body weight is through a healthy diet and
exercise. Anorexic and bulimic tendencies and diet pills are
strongly discouraged. Participants should strive to lose one
to two pounds a week, in order to have a better chance of keeping
the weight off for years and years to come.
How to Enter
Open to individuals 18 years or older who have a desire to
lose unhealthy excess weight through a proper, gradual weigt
loss diet and exercise
program. Contest officially starts on Sunday, July 1, 2001.
- Winners will be chosen by "Viewer's Choice" polls
and points gained by meeting contest requirements.
- A special "Weight Loss Achievement" award will
be chosen by DVC Weight Loss Buddies and will be based on the
individual who worked the hardest and had the most significant
results.
DVC Weight Buddies encourages individual or team participation
by church groups, neighborhood and community groups, clubs and
organizations, sororities, fraternities, athletic clubs, and
weight loss support groups. The journey towards a more healthier
lifestyle is far more rewarding when you have people to cheer
you on and do the hard work with you.
