We hope you're having a healthy week! Would love to hear more from you to let us know how you're doing!

We've got some exciting announcements for you this week. Many of you loved the protein bars that were given at the workout on the 2nd week so we are now offering them for sale for $3.00 each. They are homemade weekly by chef Annie Prizzi. Nutrition content will be broken down and provided to us.

In order to serve the most participants possible, we decided to lower the price of the additional group workouts to $10.00 per session. They are offered at 5:30 on Mondays and Wednesdays at Cambier park. THERE WILL BE A 10 PARTICIPANT MINIMUM. IF THERE ARE NOT 10 PEOPLE, THERE WILL BE NO WORKOUT.

If you can't make the workout, you can email us that you will be participating.

2.  Can I bring my entry on Saturday instead of mailing it in?

     A:  Yes, but please staple your entry form, entry fee and photo with your name on it.  We will be getting several hundred entries handed to us, so please make sure all your info is together.

3.  What if I can't make it to one or more workouts?

      A:  The Saturday workouts are a lot of fun and very helpful, but they are only a small part of the program.  If you can't make it, it's ok.  We'll be emailing you workouts and nutrition plans for the other days of the week.

      A:  We have participants from 8-80 and all different fitness levels.  There are all different age and fitness levels and you will work out according to your level.

A Note From Last Year's Winner:

Here's a note from last year's winner who lost 44 lbs during the 10 week Challenge:

 "The Naples Weight Loss Challenge has given me the incentive, drive, motivation and support I need to accomplish my personal fitness goals. I have been able to get off 22 pounds since August 4th and Mindy and Livio are a big reason why. Their program gives us all the tools necessary to be successful. We are given weekly workouts, great food advice, group workouts and great feedback throughout the week concerning our food choices and exercise." The Challenge has been a huge success in my opinion.
