Biggest loser
You don’t have to go on national television to lose weight. Phoenixville resident Heather Craig hosts a challenge for borough residents who want to get in shape.
Craig, who’s lost 50 pounds, will host a weight loss challenge beginning Jan. 10, for which people can enroll for $30. The seven-week program includes a weekly meeting and weigh-in, and all the money goes toward a prize for the winners.
As if the challenge itself isn’t enough motivation, participants must pay $1 for every pound gain, to be award to the winner at the end of the contest.
The Phoenix highlighted Craig’s program, which she says has helped all its past participants lose weight.
