The Hastings Family YMCA is bringing the Biggest Loser competition to Hastings—and this year the competition will be better than ever.

New to the competition this year, the Hastings Family YMCA and the Grand Island YMCA will be competing between each other in addition to the individual competition.

The Biggest Loser competition will run from February 4 through May 9, 2008 and is open to all community members.

Contestants will weigh in weekly, have body measurements taken and will be given before and after photographs. They will also receive a YMCA Wellness Orientation, one personal training session, classes and information on nutrition and exercise, a Biggest Loser tee shirt and a water bottle. Contestants who are not already YMCA members are able to use YMCA facilities during the contest and will have the option of joining at the end of the competition with the joiner’s fee waived.

The Biggest Loser from the Hastings YMCA and from the Grand Island YMCA will each receive a prize package that includes a YMCA membership, ten personal training sessions and much more. Second and third place winners will each receive prize packages as well. There will be one Grand Champion Biggest Loser winner awarded from the Hastings and Grand Island YMCA.

Applications are available at the Hastings Family YMCA, Grand Island YMCA or online at www.hastingsymca.net or www.giymca.org. Contestants must return their applications to the YMCA by January 25. Application fees are $75 members and $150 for non-members.

The Biggest Loser is sponsored by the Hastings Family YMCA, Grand Island YMCA and KHAS-TV.
