Even though the numbers did not fully represent the long list of individuals who have signed up for the national weight loss campaign, the number of persons who showed up for the official launch of the campaign on Friday 15th February, was deemed as encouraging, by chief coordinator of the program, David Walwyn.
In his introductory remarks, Mr. Walwyn pointed out that the major reasons for weight gain, is poor dieting habits.
He explained that the weight loss campaign not only featured rigorous exercise programs but that a lot of emphasis was placed on inculcating proper dieting habits/proper nutrition.
Many of the medical experts who are assisting with the program, were also on hand to give brief motivational talks.
The individuals present were also led into a rigorous socacize session.
However, the highlight of the afternoon was the weigh-in of some of the key persons who have already started the program.
