WeightLossWars.com has proven to be very successful and has helped thousands of people lose weight. </p>Orem, Utah -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/3/2006 -- While there may be fourteen contestants in the competition as a whole, two of them, MangoMama and Adair, seem to have pulled away from the rest of the pack and are heading to the finish. With less than a week left of this three month competition, both contestants have more than doubled the weight loss of the nearest competitor, and have began to dig in for the race for first.<br />
<br />
All along this fat burning adventure these two contestants have been pacing each other back and forth, each taking their turn in the lead. Whenever one contestant would surge forward, the other would rebound, and retake the lead the following week, almost daring the other to beat them. And it appears that this back and forth battle will only continue to intensify as the weeks have turned into days, and these health conscience contenders really put their shoulders (or rather their guts) into the race.<br />
<br />
Although most WeightLossWars.com&apos;s competitions do focus primarily on weight loss, there are also formulas set-up to measure many other aspects of healthy living, including ounces of water drank, servings of fruit ate, and miles walked. There are even caloric and fat counting calculators provided to enable contestants to easily measure these aspects of living and eating healthy. "It is this all around health improvement that WeightLossWars was designed to help encourage and facilitate," said WeightLossWars.com Vice President of Marketing Blair Wilson. "It really is more about being healthy than just looking healthy."<br />
<br />
WeightLossWars.com was designed and started by Chad Blodgett, who is also the founder of WeightLossWars&apos; sister company, EHealthCompete! While EHealthCompete! is focused on corporate wellness programs, WeightLossWars is built for individuals to compete with their friends, family, co-workers, or just about anyone they feel like beating. The success of both sites has been attributed to the combination of their ease of use and their competition based system, which provides quick analysis and one of the best motivational tools around, one&apos;s own ego.    <br />

And with WeightLossWars.com&apos;s unique competition format, it can even pay quite nicely as well. This was the case for "Fatboy," the winning contestant in a recent weight loss competition, who now is 21 pounds lighter and $320 richer thanks to his success with WeightLossWars. 	<br />
<br />
WeightLossWars.com is a medium for friends, family, co-workers, or even arch rivals to compete against one another in a variety of health related categories ranging from weight lost to servings of fruit eaten. The program allows you to monitor and track your performance yourself, and then compare those results with the other members of your "competition" online. A competition can range from two weeks to over a year, and the health criterion on which you are judged can be customized to fit your group&apos;s needs.  At the end of the competition, a previously agreed upon prize is given to the winner, which can simply be bragging rights for a hot new body, a cash prize pooled from the competitors, or something unique and special to the group.<br />
<br />
In the case of Fatboy and his co-workers, they competed directly on percentage of weight lost. Over the course of this 70 day contest, the average percentage of weight loss was 4.13, while Fatboy amassed a 10.23% loss for the win. The group posted many other impressive results, combining to lose 134.35 pounds, walk 82.53 miles, and exercise 4465 minutes.  <br />
<br />
The success of WeightLossWars.com is in the engaging and unique competition structure. This format combines the best of both worlds, in providing privacy with potentially embarrassing weight checks, and yet still allowing you the public support and drive of competition. And if competition isn&apos;t your thing, WeightLossWars.com provides access to personal dieticians and trainers, who can help to build a personalized workout schedule and diet to put you on the fast track to a healthier weight.   <br />

      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p><p><p><p><p><p>Orem, Utah -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/11/2006 -- As summer approaches and the bathing-suit season begins, people everywhere are desperate to slim down their winter worn bodies. Spring fever has caused things to heat up at WeightLossWars.com, especially for one group of friends in a competition named the "Dixie Cup Cruise." </p><p>
While the competition has been going since December, the "war" has recently caught on fire. Sparked by the warm weather beginning to show its face and the thought of wearing a bathing-suit on a day at the beach, the contestants have gained a sense of urgency which is sure to continue right down to the finish line. </p><p>
The leader at this point is JHarlor who has lost an impressive 27 lbs, although he is closely followed by mmcox1115 and teach0905, both of whom are losing weight and closing the gap fast. With just over three months to go, there is still plenty of time for any contestant to achieve victory.</p><p>
This concept of a competition based weight loss program has helped WeightLossWars.com to become such a red hot success. Combining the desire of so many people to improve both their weight and health with the competitive nature prevalent in almost everyone, WeightLossWars finds it easy to overcome the major stumbling block to anyone trying to lose weight, motivation. Now with the added drive of showing off your best self in the summer, the buzz over starting a competition is at an all-time high. </p>Orem, Utah -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/6/2006 -- WeightLossWars.com, a leading provider of competition driven weight loss programs and incentive based health and wellness services, announced the addition of Travis Brashears as Lead Marketing Intern. The appointment will begin immediately, and Mr. Brashears will be responsible to help develop and execute various marketing plans as well as managing various day to day responsibilities for the firm.  </p><p><br />
"We&apos;re excited to have Travis join our team and he will play an integral role as we grow and expand WeightLossWars.com," said Blair Wilson, Marketing Director for WeightLossWars.com. "He has shown great potential and his diverse skill set will poise us for future success."</p><p><br />
Mr. Brashear&apos;s has extensive history with marketing and public relations, and is excited to get a chance to use his networking and planning skills to create some momentum for WeightLossWars.com. After helping to organize a summer sales program for Security One Security Systems Travis feels ready to face this new, more complex situation.   </p><p><br />
"I just love the thrill of envisioning something, working out all the details, pushing it through presentations, then watching as the thing you brought to life becomes larger than anyone ever imagined." Brashears remarked "There&apos;s just a certain magic to it that can&apos;t be matched."</p><p><br />
WeightLossWars.com allows individuals to set up private competitions with family and friends to compete to lose weight. The principals of accountability, motivation and incentive help participants finally reach the weight loss goals they have set. The competitions which range from one month to a year allow participants to chart and measure their performance against others. WeightLossWars.com has proven to be very successful and has helped thousands of people lose weight. </p>Orem, Utah -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/3/2006 -- While there may be fourteen contestants in the competition as a whole, two of them, MangoMama and Adair, seem to have pulled away from the rest of the pack and are heading to the finish. With less than a week left of this three month competition, both contestants have more than doubled the weight loss of the nearest competitor, and have began to dig in for the race for first.</p><p>
All along this fat burning adventure these two contestants have been pacing each other back and forth, each taking their turn in the lead. Whenever one contestant would surge forward, the other would rebound, and retake the lead the following week, almost daring the other to beat them. And it appears that this back and forth battle will only continue to intensify as the weeks have turned into days, and these health conscience contenders really put their shoulders (or rather their guts) into the race.</p><p>
Although most WeightLossWars.com&apos;s competitions do focus primarily on weight loss, there are also formulas set-up to measure many other aspects of healthy living, including ounces of water drank, servings of fruit ate, and miles walked. There are even caloric and fat counting calculators provided to enable contestants to easily measure these aspects of living and eating healthy. "It is this all around health improvement that WeightLossWars was designed to help encourage and facilitate," said WeightLossWars.com Vice President of Marketing Blair Wilson. "It really is more about being healthy than just looking healthy."</p><p>
WeightLossWars.com was designed and started by Chad Blodgett, who is also the founder of WeightLossWars&apos; sister company, EHealthCompete! While EHealthCompete! is focused on corporate wellness programs, WeightLossWars is built for individuals to compete with their friends, family, co-workers, or just about anyone they feel like beating. The success of both sites has been attributed to the combination of their ease of use and their competition based system, which provides quick analysis and one of the best motivational tools around, one&apos;s own ego.    </p>Orem, UT -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/27/2006 -- When it comes to shaping up, everyone wants to be the biggest loser. And with WeightLossWars.com&apos;s unique competition format, it can even pay quite nicely as well. This was the case for "Fatboy," the winning contestant in a recent weight loss competition, who now is 21 pounds lighter and $320 richer thanks to his success with WeightLossWars. 	</p><p><br />
WeightLossWars.com is a medium for friends, family, co-workers, or even arch rivals to compete against one another in a variety of health related categories ranging from weight lost to servings of fruit eaten. The program allows you to monitor and track your performance yourself, and then compare those results with the other members of your "competition" online. A competition can range from two weeks to over a year, and the health criterion on which you are judged can be customized to fit your group&apos;s needs.  At the end of the competition, a previously agreed upon prize is given to the winner, which can simply be bragging rights for a hot new body, a cash prize pooled from the competitors, or something unique and special to the group.</p><p><br />
In the case of Fatboy and his co-workers, they competed directly on percentage of weight lost. Over the course of this 70 day contest, the average percentage of weight loss was 4.13, while Fatboy amassed a 10.23% loss for the win. The group posted many other impressive results, combining to lose 134.35 pounds, walk 82.53 miles, and exercise 4465 minutes.  </p><p><br />
The success of WeightLossWars.com is in the engaging and unique competition structure. This format combines the best of both worlds, in providing privacy with potentially embarrassing weight checks, and yet still allowing you the public support and drive of competition. And if competition isn&apos;t your thing, WeightLossWars.com provides access to personal dieticians and trainers, who can help to build a personalized workout schedule and diet to put you on the fast track to a healthier weight.   </p>Orem, Utah -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/24/2006 -- WeightLossWars.com, a leading provider of online weight loss competition and incentive based health and wellness services, announced the addition of Blair Wilson to its senior management team as the Director of Communication. In his role as the Director of Communication, Mr. Wilson is responsible for overseeing the Communication/Marketing operation of WeightLossWars.com.</p><p>
Mr. Wilson has extensive marketing experience ranging from GE Healthcare to his privately owned company Wilson Lawn Services. "I&apos;m excited and thrilled to be able to put my energy and talent into eHealthCompete," said Blair Wilson. "WeightLossWars.com" is poised for rapid growth and will be able to provide a unique and effective product to its costumers to promote wellness and health."</p><p>
"Marketing is my passion; it brings together the product and the consumer. Being on the front line is exciting, challenging and rewarding," remarked Wilson about his ambition for marketing. "Improved marketing will allow our product to shine through to our customers and help them attain the wellness they seek and provide corporations with happier and healthier employees."</p><p>
