As part of the program, people will compete to lose weight, exercise, and start the change to a healthy lifestyle.
Amber and Jeff Brown were hoping to motivate one another.
“To be healthy and to lose weight,” Amber Brown said.
“We both are together and we can motivate each other every day,” Jeff Brown said.
Husbands and wives, coworkers and friends all formed teams and were gearing up for a little friendly competition.
“I decided it’s time in my life to commit to a healthier lifestyle,” said Dunaita Booker. “So I think being part of a team will help me do that and keep me encouraged.”
Tina Badurina of the YMCA said programs will include free education sessions and sample classes, plus some family activities and open houses at area YMCAs, Ludlow reported.
“We do have open houses for registered participants,” Badurina said. “They’ll be given that full 10-week calendar when they’re officially registered with their weigh-in.”
Once teams had selected a name, they were photographed and weighed, Ludlow reported.
“It’s going to be a great challenge,” said Lance Carter. “You can come out here and you can compete. And see if you can be the best. So we’re going to be the best!”
The community weigh-in continues Saturday and Sunday.
