IF all those who called our BFIT line last week meet their weight-loss goals, 460 pounds will disappear into thin air. That's the equivalent of two Redskin linebackers - poof - gone.
If everyone who has joined Fitness Quest since it started in July, meets their goal, we'd lose the whole National Football League.
One of last week's callers hopes that when Fitness Quest ends in December, he'll be able to go to the rack. No, not the exercise rack. The clothes rack. He wants to finally be able to buy clothes off the rack.
If you'd like to join Fitness Quest and pledge a goal or if you'd just like to learn more about exercise and nutrition, call Infoline at 640-5555 and press BFIT (2348). It's not too late to get on board. Fitness Quest runs through December.
Fitness Quest members are invited to free exercise classes Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. at Contemporary Fitness, 306 W. 21st Street, Norfolk. For more information, call Wendy Pirovolos at 622-9469.
Each week 10 callers who pledge their goals are selected at random to receive a ``Go for Fit'' T-shirt.
This week's winners are:
D. Anderson, Virginia Beach; B. Griffin, Virginia Beach; V. Hallenback, Portsmouth; B. Harkness, Chesapeake; J. Hazelwood, Virginia Beach; J. Maxwell, Norfolk; B. Osborne, Portsmouth; D. Russell, Chesapeake; M. Wagner, Chesapeake; G. Walker, Virginia Beach.
You can order a T-shirt by sending your name, address, shirt size and a check or money order for $10.45 (includes tax) to The Virginian-Pilot, Fitness T-Shirt, P.O. Box 1978, Norfolk, Va. 23501. by CNB
