From July 31st to September 5th a group of 14
participants set their minds and were ready to become “the biggest
losers” of PJ. The name of the program was Take Control as the
program’s objective was to educate the participants in order for
them to take control of their health and in particular to lose
weight and to reduce or reverse their hypertension (for those that
had the hypertensive condition).
The program started with a health screening for BMI,
body fat and blood pressure, then the participants went through
a-six weeks two times-a-week sessions of educational lectures,
cooking classes and exercises sessions accompanied of group support
which made the whole experience more fun and interesting.
(Jessica Thai, (front row, 2nd from left), lost 10kg, 12% of her
total body weight)
After six weeks, it was time for the final weigh in.
All the effort and dedication from the participants paid off, with
great joy all 14 of them had lost weight, the highest being Mrs.
Jessica Thai losing a total of 10kg and winning the grand prize for
being the biggest loser of the program.
The program culminated with a dinner where all the participants had
the opportunity to enjoy the delights of vegetarian food catered by
the ACC Lifestyle Café in celebration to the effort and achievements
over the past 6 weeks.
To God be the glory for the strength
given to all participants.
