4 COLOURS OF CRANBROOK, SUMMER 2016
Cranbrook Social Club
The bodies we make now are the bodies we are using for
the next 40 years! Let’s be proactive and supportive of each
other and have some fun along the way to a healthy and
fabulous 2017. Starting off with a Biggest Loser Challenge!
We will also be holding a six week step challenge, where
I know William Cape Gardens will be ready to keep the
crown, but Bella Vista Gardens are hot on their heels!
There will be regular information on the Social Club
notice boards, so please keep a look out for these.
Biggest Loser Challenge.
Those that are interested, form a team between 2 to
20 staff members. Even if you don’t need to lose a few
extra kilos we want you in the team! Did you know that
organised weight loss groups have a higher rate
of success than individuals?
The rules and how it will work
1. Form your team! You need a team captain, preferably
someone that doesn’t need to lose much weight
(if any) to be the main motivator and keeper of the
scales. Your actual weight will be kept private. Only
the team captain will know.
2017 is the
year of health
and wellness
for Cranbrook
Care Staff!
2. Weigh in. This will be in the staff room every Friday.
If you don’t work on a Friday, please liaise with your
team captain about other options.
Weight loss will be scored based on the percentage of
body weight lost rather than on the number of kilos.
3. You will be losing weight as a team and also
recorded as an individual. The overall biggest
losing team will each receive a $50 Westfield
Voucher. The biggest loser will receive $500!
4. Attendance – You must weigh in each week for
12 weeks. If you miss a week your team will be
penalised 1 kilo.
5. Support – Cranbrook Care will be providing
assistance with tips and tricks, recipes and for those
interested offering discounted prices on personal
training groups. Please support each other. Get
walking groups together, maybe do a yoga session,
whatever works for your team.
People who are already at a healthy weight should not
take part in a Biggest Loser contest. However they can
be part of the support group. A prize for the most
supportive ‘non-contestant’ is $250!
