The Biggest Loser is back at LPUMC!


LPUMC will have its very own version of the Biggest Loser. If you are above your ideal weight for your height and age, have been feeling slow and sluggish and without energy to do the things you want to do with your children, grandchildren, or spouse, then this is the program for you. Here is how we envision it working:


  1. Program to begin on Thursday, March 19, with a weigh-in at church and will conclude on May 17.

  2. Entry donation of $25 due at time of weigh-in. Half of the total amount received will be donated toward a 2009 apportionment, to be determined by the participants. The more participants, the greater the donation!

  3. Only YOU and one other person will know your weights.

  4. All participants will receive an assigned “ code ” at the time of the weigh-in.

  5. Weekly weigh-ins will occur each Thursday evening beginning March 26 between 5:30-7 p.m. in Fellowship Hall.

  6. All participants will have their beginning and weekly weights posted by their assigned “ code ” .

  7. 7. The participant with the greatest percentage of weight loss at the end of this eight week period will be awarded the remainder of the entrance fees to either keep or donate (their choice).
At each Thursday ’ s weigh-in, there will be an opportunity to join in a stretching and walking exercise and enjoy a brown-bag dinner with the other contestants. It would be appropriate to share any success stories at that time. NOTE: If you do not complete the program, your entry donation will be forfeited. If interested, please let us know. You may notify Sheryl Smothers either by phone (583-4914) or e-mail
