More than 100 people have signed up to be the Pilbara's biggest loser following the success of the competition at Brockman. Wickham, Pannawonnica, Tom Price and Paraburdoo are following suit beginning their own weight loss challenges.
This great initiative is being run by the team at Prime Health and contributes to the ongoing Pilbara Health Challenge. Run fromTom Price, the Challenge is an initiative sparked by the Australian government’s ‘Building Healthy Communities’ campaign and Pilbara Iron, along with other local businesses, have committed to support the campaign over the next two years.
"The Challenge aims to promote healthy eating and exercise to combat obesity and help people to lose weight and get fit for the long term. Participants are entitled to a health assessment every three months to track their progress," said Pilbara Health Challenge project officer Sheryl Botheras.
