FAYETTE FAT FIGHTERS
The Fat Fighters program is an individual weight loss and fitness program that encourages participants to eat in a healthy manner and engage in exercise that is approved by their healthcare providers and suitable for them personally.
We know that in order to successfully lose and keep weight off, it is necessary to find what works for the given individual. Each of us is an individual with individual needs and different things work for different people. We know that portion control and exercise are the two essential ingredients for success but each person may have a different way of getting there.
This program is meant to be helpful, encouraging, and motivational. If a person has health or nutrition problems that need to be addressed, it is very important for them to contact their healthcare providers or other professionals for advice.
Fat Fighters meet every Monday evening at 5:30 p.m. after weigh-ins starting at 5 p.m. The motivational talk starts at 5:30 and ends at 6 p.m. We do not hold meetings on legal holidays. If we are closed due to inclement weather, this will be shared on our Facebook page.
If you have any questions or would like to join the Fat Fighters, please call the health educator at 740-335-5910.
ROLLING RIMPLES
The Rolling Rimples is a free four-month weight loss and fitness program that involves one or more teams of 4 or 5 people from agencies and businesses in the immediate Washington C.H. area.
Some people are in it for the accountability and companionship while others are serious about winning the prizes.
At the end of each of the four-month periods, FCPH staff go to each of the participant sites, weigh the individuals, and encourage them to stay healthy. When the final weigh-ins have been done, a first, second, and third place individual winner is named along with the top winning team. For the individuals, the first-place prize is a $100 gift card; second place is a $50 gift card, and the third-place winner receives a $25 gift card.
