Green Hills Wellness Challenge

 

2011 Maintenance Prize
There will be a $300 cash prize for the person that maintained the highest percentage of weight loss from the 2011 Challenge. 2011 participants should weigh-in on January 12 or 13 to win.

Registration Details

  • Registration Dates are January 12-13, 2012. The contest will run for 12 weeks. The end date will be April 6.
  • Sign-Up and Weigh-In at the Ketcham Community Center or the Grundy County Health Department during regular business hours.
  • Participants must be at least 18 years old to participate or have signed parental consent.
  • This year there will be a $10 per person entry fee to cover supplies and boost the prize pool.

 

Weigh-In Guidelines

  • All weights should be taken with shoes off.
  • You must weigh-in every Thursday or Friday to be eligible for prizes. Each participant will be allowed to miss one weekly weigh-in with no penalty.
  • All actual weights will be kept confidential.
  • Total percentage of weight loss for each participant will run weekly in the Trenton Republican-Times newspaper. If no weight loss occurs or if weight remains the same, a "--"will run next to participant name.

 

Nutrition and Exercise Journals

  • This year, participants will be asked to complete a nutrition and exercise journal. The journal will be part of your registration packet.
  • At the end of the contest, journals will be turned in. Names of those completing journals will be entered into a drawing for two one-year memberships to Ketcham Community Center and two one-year subscriptions to Trenton Republican-Times.

 

What's New This Year???

EVERYONE CAN WIN A CASH PRIZE! Here's how:

Each person that loses 10% or more of their initial body weight at the final weigh-in will win a cash prize. The amount of money they receive will depend on the number of people that meet that goal. We will start with a base cash amount of $1500 (donated by the Grundy County Health Department). We will add to that a portion of the entry fees. If only one person loses 10% or more of their initial body weight, they win at least $1,500. If ten people lose 10% or more they each win $150. This means that EVERYONE has the opportunity to win.
