Congratulations!

Congratulations to everybody who participated the 2010 CLUB! Throughout February and March, nine members participated in this weight loss program that included Personal Training and Nutrition Counsel-ing. Everyone learned new things about themselves and how to make healthy changes in their lifestyle that would promote weight loss.

The grand prize for participation was that any person who lost 10 pounds by the final weigh-in would receive one month’s free membership at McBurney. While all of the participants did great, Sheila Passannante came the closest by losing 8 ½ pounds!

Again, congratulations to every-one who participated! You have a great start to a healthy 2010, and, remember, McBurney is here to keep you on track.
