Weight loss program begins

The Weight Loss Challenge Program is a volunteerled program with morning and evening classes available in Moorpark.

Classes meet for one hour, weekly for 12 weeks. New sessions are starting in January and February.

The program strives to help people lose weight in a stress-free atmosphere.

Participants attend the weekly classes where they can learn about the benefits of protein, metabolism, going out to eat, food labels, and more.

The total cost is $39. Most of the money goes into a pot and is given back to the participants who lose the most weight. A portion of the money goes to Go Fit Kids, an organization that fights childhood obesity.
