Congrats to our 2012 WLC Winners!

The 2012 Eat Smart Move More Weight Loss Challenge was a great success! Sponsored by Maria Parham Medical Center, Granville Health System, the Henderson Family YMCA, and the Granville-Vance District Health Department, residents and workers of both Vance and Granville counties were challenged for the 4^th year in a row on an individual and team level to improve their overall health. This year, 780 people weighed in and 57% of those individuals weighed out! Over 3,000 pounds were lost with 9 teams and 176 individuals qualifying for the prize drawing. As a community, we met the challenge with 100% of those responding to our survey planning to continue the changes they made. 

The challenge ended with a celebration at the Henderson Family YMCA on June 21^st . The participants will be challenged once again in October 2012 to see if they have maintained their weight loss or met their original ten pound goal! Thanks again to all of the partners and participants who made the ESMM Weight Loss Challenge a success once again!
