FOR those looking to turn the New Year into a new you the biggest loser challenge could be just the thing.

Bolton Hospice is looking for 20 people to take part in its first ever Biggest Loser Challenge.

The weight loss competition is about losing the greatest percentage of body fat, not the most pounds, so each person will lose the right amount for their body.

The Biggest Loser Challenge is 12 weeks long and and is being conducted with the help of The Last Drop Village.

Maria Passarello, events manager at Bolton Hospice said: “We’re really excited to launch this new challenge for 2018 and it’s sure to be a life-changing experience for our participants.

"We’d like to thank The Last Drop Village for their support and providing free access to their fantastic facilities, which will help our participants immeasurably.

"If your New Year's resolution is to lose weight then the Biggest Loser challenge for Bolton Hospice is for you."

Each person taking part will get a 12-week The Last Drop Village membership, including access to exercise classes, the swimming pool and the gym.

They will get four personal training sessions and nutritional support, as well as group training and bi-weekly weigh-in sessions.

The Biggest Loser will win a 12-month membership to The Last Drop Village and an exclusive make over.

Registration for the Biggest Loser is £20 per person and each person taking part is required to raise a suggested minimum sponsorship of £395.
