To get rich never risk your health. For it is the truth that health is the wealth of wealth.

Murray City Wellness Council

Murray City’s Wellness Council recently finished their first “Biggest Loser” contest.  They had 45 employees participate from different departments all over the city. The program started in March and ended in May.

The “Biggest Loser” was a self guided program that provided accountability and resources to help participants become healthier, alter eating patterns, increase their exercise, and make positive lifestyle changes.  All contest information was kept confidential.

Participants lost a total of 205 pounds, 137 inches, 35% body fat loss and 13% BMI loss. To celebrate everyone’s success they had a celebration at the end, where they gave out over $500 in prize money and donations to the winners.  They also provided healthy snacks and water to the group. They plan on doing another competition in the fall.

CONGRATS TO ALL!  We are proud of your efforts and success!
