Atlanta’s newest Biggest Loser Contest began March 1 with 12 contestants from all walks of life being divided into competing teams of six. Each team has workouts with a WellStar Health Place trainer and all contestants will eat healthy courtesy of a free, weekly meal plan. WellStar Health Place trainers Jenny Swift and Tim Palmer are motivating the red and blue teams throughout the contest.
Weigh-ins conducted by WellStar follow each contestant’s progress, and results air on WXIA-TV during various times, primarily on Atlanta & Company (weekdays at 11 a.m.) with host Christine Pullara.
WellStar assessed each finalist’s health and well-being by providing them with a health screening at the beginning of the contest. Using a multi-slice CT scan, each contestant received a non-invasive heart screening to help determine their level of risk for heart disease or future cardiac issues. WellStar Corporate & Community Health’s WellScreen program provided the contestants with a full blood profile which tests for total cholesterol, glucose levels and thyroid problems. Other complimentary screenings include a waist-to-hip ratio and BMI calculation. To help gauge the contestants’ improved state of health, WellScreens will be offered at the contest mid-point and finale.
