CORE’s Biggest Losers!
2010 Biggest Loser Challenge
The staff at CORE knows that sometimes it takes a little bit of motivation to lose weight or start that new exercise plan. CORE’s 2nd Annual Biggest Loser Contest gave teams the motivation they needed. This 10 week long fitness challenge ran from January 20 – March 31. It was a bigger hit this year than we had imagined, and I think it is fair to say that fun was had by all. Below are the top 3 winning teams, along with their thoughts on the contest.
We hope you will join in on CORE’s 2011 Biggest Loser Challenge!
