IT’S BAAACK! THE BIGGEST LOSER 2025 – JOIN THE CHALLENGE!

To promote a healthy lifestyle for all employees, FGI will, once again, be sponsoring a
company-wide Biggest Loser Contest for 2025. This year with team motivation and an
added sponsor Black Dog Running Company!
Did you know? A decrease in overweight individuals of 5% to 10% is likely to improve
blood pressure, blood cholesterol and blood sugars in addition to increasing mobility
and overall energy?.
Contest Start Date: Tuesday, January 7th, 2025, weigh in-moved from Monday the 6th
to allow more participants!
Contest End Date: Tuesday, April 1, 2025 (final results submitted and winners
announced)
Competition Guidelines:
- Any employee who wants to participate will sign-up by
emailing sharon.pinnell@foundersgolf.com no later than Monday, January 6, 2025. - Each contestant must weigh themselves every Tuesday beginning January 7th, 2025. For
the initial weigh in, you will take a picture of the scale with the weight displayed and
email it to Sharon Pinnell at sharon.pinnell@foundersgolf.com. Every Tuesday following
you will just email your weight, no photo required. (We advise for your own benefit to
take a “before” photo of yourself in non-loose clothing for you to keep personally as a
way to track your progress. This can serve as great motivation too! Also, wear similar
clothing for each weigh in) - Weight loss will be determined by the percentage of weight lost each week. Weights will
not be posted for anyone to see. Only the percentage of the weight lost will be posted
each Friday following the Tuesday weigh ins and only to the group participants. We will
also send, along with weekly results, some health and exercise tips along with some
inspirational quotes. Black Dog Running Company also has some group walks at their
Market Common location, Thursdays 6PM and Saturday mornings 7 AM! - Weekly Prize: The “Biggest Loser” each week will receive a $25.00 FGI gift card.
- Overall Weight Loss Prize: At the completion of the competition there will be prizes
awarded to the top three weight loss participants:
o 1st Prize: $500.00 (plus a pair of running shoes from Black Dog Running Co.!)
o 2nd Prize: $300.00
o 3rd Prize: $150.00
FGI encourages all employees to consult with their healthcare physician prior to
starting any weight loss or dieting program that may affect their health. If you
take any medication, please take proper precautions prior to beginning any
weight loss regimen.
An average healthy percentage of weight loss is between .5% and 1% per week
