PARK LA BREA WEIGHT-LOSS CHALLENGE

Jane Gilman

SHOWING OFF her reward is Stephanie Lee.

“I was determined to win,” said Stephanie Lee of the eight-week weight loss challenge sponsored by the Activities Center at Park La Brea apartments at Third and Fairfax.

Eighteen pounds lighter, Lee was awarded $300 for winning the challenge over 15 other program participants. She also won a month of training at Boot Camp LA. Lee lost eight percent of her body weight and 11.25 inches.

“I weighed 162 before the challenge,” said the life coach. “My success will help me motivate other people to lose pounds and inches, and I still have 29 more pounds to lose.”

“I’m also exercising to sculpt my body,” said Lee.

She has tried other weight loss programs, but always put the weight back on. Lee’s diet is heavy in fruits vegetables, and she recommends eating five light meals a day.

Sylvie Brousseau, activities director at the apartment complex, said additional prizes were given to other successful “losers.” Entrants paid $29 and attended a class a week for eight weeks. During class each week they were weighed, measured and received nutritional information.

The cash prizes were determined by the amount of the registration money. Other winners were Teri Rech, Sun Chung and Brousseau.

A new challenge started March 15.
