DIETING isn’t easy, especially when food is so good but with obesity becoming a huge issue in South Africa, Abbotts College students and staff decided to try to lose weight before summer arrives.
Students and staff weighed in a month ago and were weighed again last week with the biggest loser being student, Chris Schriks, who lost a total of 11kgs!
“Healthy eating is so important and with summer around the corner I decided to organise a ‘Biggest Losers’ competition at school and it’s been amazing. We each got sponsors and along the way we’ve encouraged each other,” said Melissa Massey.
“It’s really been great and other schools, clubs and offices could follow our idea. When you try to lose weight together its somehow much easier and quite fun,” Melissa laughed.
