Chose to Lose Challenge!

Pretty sexy, huh? I made it myself for our "Chose to Lose" Challenge (except the logo is supposed to be maroon... :/) 

R&O Construction challenged Wadman Corporation to a Biggest Loser contest of sorts. Registration starts on Monday, Jan. 7 and the first weigh-in is Friday, Jan. 11. The challenge will go until April 25. Everyone has been getting their team together for the last few days.

As I have been helping to get the collateral put together I have been pretty disgusted at what goes in to the fast food that is served. A few facts from my research:

- Every month, more than 90 per cent of the children in the United States eat at McDonald's

- Fast food companies make higher profits on soft drinks than on their food products.

- A super-sized order of McDonald's fries contains 610 calories and 29 grams of fat. Other brands aren't much better: a king-sized order of Burger King's fries packs 590 calories and 30 grams of fat.

- Per ounce, Chicken McNuggets contain twice as much fat as hamburger. 

- In the United States, obesity is second only to smoking as a cause of death.

Those are only a small handful of the facts that are out there. It is pretty disgusting what we allow ourselves to consume and the low rate of physical activity we have in our lives.

May you create your own challenge and "Chose to Lose" this year. If not for you, for those around you who love you. This life is pretty amazing and how sad it would be to cut it short!
