The Parker’s Place Weight Loss Challenge gives you the motivation, support and tools to lose weight and keep it off for life – without gimmicks, pills or surgery. Our challenge takes 20 participants through a six month program that combines financial incentive, competition, family support, personal training and lifestyle education. Each contestant should be more than 50 pounds overweight and must make a financial commitment to the program.

The program consists of personal training, nutrition education and support, weekly lifestyle education classes and weekly weigh-ins and team challenges. Every week you will compete for a $100 prize along with a premium provided by the week’s sponsor. The grand prize at the end of the competition may be up to $25,000.

Last year’s challenge garnered the attention of WTMJ news, numerous newspaper articles in the Oconomowoc Enterprise, and Wisconsin Woman magazine.

Although there is a financial prize at the end of the competition, in the end, EVERYONE wins. Last year’s contestants lost a combined total of 927 pounds.

The 2008 contestants will be selected based on their application and through a series of interviews.
