10-Week Weight Loss Challenge Begins in Time for New Years' Resolutions to Improve Health

January 06, 2015 // Franchising.com // Ottawa, Ill. - Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating (SSHE), the premier meal replacement company in the country, kicks off its weight loss contest called Seattle Sutton's 2015 Slim Down. For 10 weeks, 10 chosen contestants will compete for prizes and improve their health by making a positive lifestyle change.

SSHE has a successful track record with 5 previous contests under its belt, helping to transform people's eating habits and health. SSHE had its first successful weight loss contest for the Chicago area in 2010, when 10 contestants lost a total of 372 pounds in 14 weeks. Since then, the contests have helped a total of 39 additional people lose nearly 2,200 pounds.

"It's a privilege to be able to help these 10 people take on this weight loss challenge. Not only do they receive our delicious, freshly prepared meals at no cost, but they also compete for some great prizes too. Making lifestyle changes is difficult, I know first-hand over the course of nearly 30 years helping people eat healthy. But, it can be done and we can help take the difficulty of eating right out of the equation. Healthy eating is essential in overall good health and good health is the most important asset one has in life, without it, nothing else matters," said Seattle Sutton, RN, BSN, Founder of Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating.

Sutton continued, "I want each and every one of our 10 contestants to achieve their goal to lose weight in the New Year and live a healthier life by learning new skills to be successful long term."

The family-owned company based in Ottawa, Ill., is headed by 83-year old registered nurse and matriarch, Seattle Sutton, who founded the company in hopes of helping to improve people's eating habits and overall health by providing the healthiest meals possible. The company has never veered off the mission Sutton created since it began in 1985. Since the company's inception, the company has prepared and provided clients coast-to-coast with nearly 100 million meals to date.

The contest is a 10-week weight loss challenge beginning on January 5, 2015 and concluding on March 16, 2015. The 10 chosen contestants will receive 21 SSHE meals per week for a total of 210 meals throughout the 10-week contest. The meals will consist of freshly prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner items.

The contestant who loses the most weight based on percentage of body weight will win a three-night trip for two to Barceló Tucancun Beach in Cancun, Mexico from Apple Vacations, valued at $2,000. The second place prize will be a $500 cash prize from SSHE, and the third place prize will be a Macy's gift card valued at $250 courtesy of SSHE.

Contestants will also have blood work completed, once at the beginning of the contest and once at the end, to measure fasting blood sugar, as well as have their blood pressure taken. This is a free service provided by Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating, as part of the contest. Contestants will be weighed each week at their nearest SSHE Cook County retail location when they pick up their SSHE meals.
