Lose Inches, Feel Healthier & Win a $500 koi Wardrobe!
Thursday, December 31st, 2009
Team up with koi founder and designer Kathy Peterson to achieve your weight-loss goals and you could win a $500 koi wardrobe for the new you!
Here’s what our fearless leader Kathy Peterson had to say:
I always hated New Year’s resolutions and never made them in the past. I think it was probably because I never had a resolution I felt passionate about. This year is different.
I was inspired by Laura, our customer service manager, who just started a weight-loss competition to encourage the koi team to be healthier. Anyone who’s been around our office knows we’re a food-focused group that loves food. We have some of the best cooks around on our koi team. I’m not one of them, but I am the person that brings in all the sweets.
I’ve decided to make a yearlong commitment to become healthier and lose 22 pounds from my current weight of 132 pounds for a goal weight of 110. My current weight may not seem like a lot, but it puts me in the BMI index of overweight because of my petite frame.
I want to encourage everyone to live healthier longer lives. We owe it to ourselves and everyone around us. In the spirit of koi, I created a contest to encourage you to reach your weight-loss goals. I hope you all join me. The more people who join our contest, the more it will help to encourage me and the koi team to reach our goals.
The Challenge:
Tell us your weight-loss goals and work to achieve them, charting your progress each month through the end of 2010.
The Grand Prize (One Winner):
$500 koi Wardrobe for the new you!
(The winner can pick 4 new outfits per season from our new Spring, Summer and Fall catalogs that come out in 2011. A total of 12 new koi outfits!)
