During the frst week of February, Heart Health month,

Ottawa Valley Living Magazine in conjunction with the Ottawa Heart Institute (Prevention and Rehabilitation Centre) and the Paramedic Chiefs of Lanark and Renfrew Counties will launch “Slim till You Win” .

Slim till YouWin is a competition between Renfrew and Lanark counties and is the biggest weight loss challenge to come to our area. It runs from February 1 st to April 30 th , 2011 and will create a healthy rivalry between Renfrew and Lanark counties . Throughout the process, Slim till YouWin will make all of us more aware of the benefts of becoming active and watching what we eat.

The competition will be looking for a minimum of 100 competitors from each of Renfrew and Lanark Counties to participate in this 3-month long campaign —that’s 200 participants in all! If more than 200 get involved that’s a bonus. We know that this three-month long event will encourage people to get of the couch, lose weight and get ft through a huge promotion of healthy exercise and diet. The county to lose the most collective pounds and inches will take home the coveted Slim till YouWin cup.

If you are 18 or older and are at all concerned about your level of ftness or weight, then this is a great opportunity to get inspired. You’ll do more and learn how to commit to being active. You could even go one step further and get your friends to sign up as well—you can make a diference in the wellbeing of your county.
