[COMMUNICATED] Lose 4 Autism is a 75 day weight loss challenge that will motivate you to lose those pounds while benefiting the children of Imrei Binah.
Imrei Binah is a bridge program in the Lakewood community for children with a Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis. Imrei Binah is committed to providing intensive and individualized therapy-based instruction at subsidized rates for children on the autism spectrum. The instructional focus of each student’s individual education program is on educating and equipping the students with the necessary age appropriate skills for maximizing their potential. The long-term goal of the program is to provide our children with the tools for the greatest possible success across their lifespan, with the short-term goal of mainstreaming them into regular schools when they are ready to begin primary.
This current weight loss challenge is open to generally healthy men looking to jump start their weight loss. The challenge is to lose the most body weight percentage.
There will be two simultaneous competitions. The first track is for men with a BMI of 36 and greater, while the second track is for those with a BMI of 35 and below. The winner from EACH track will we awarded a $25,000 cash prize.
There are many incentives throughout the challenge to motivate the participants, i.e. monthly trips to Israel. In addition we have a nutritionist and personal trainer available for consultation and motivation. In addition each of the participants receive a free gym membership for the span of the program.
The competitors, who come from across the world, feel as special camaraderie amongst themselves as they all compete towards the same goal; losing weight while helping the children at Imrei Binah. The friendships that have blossomed from the previous years challenges are a testimony to the fun and achdus the participants have felt. In addition many of our previous competitors have lost many, many pounds and successfully still kept it off.
