Employees of Mayers Memorial Hospital District began a healthy challenge at the beginning of 2015. "Waist Management" is a friendly competition designed to encourage to eat right, exercise and drop those unhealthy pounds.
Over 20 employees actively participated in the challenge. Employees were encouraged to go for walks on their breaks, utilize the choices at the facility's large salad bar and to use the workout equipment available to employees after work.
The friendly competition recently came to an end and MMHD's maintenance department's Victor Richey took the top prize losing 49.5 pounds which was 20.41% of his body weight. Runners-up were Val Lakey who lost 21 pounds, 11.17% of her body weight and Renee Coe who lost 23 pounds, 8.65% of her body weight.
Overall, MMHD employees lost a total of 148.5 pounds.
Great job TEAM MAYERS!
