HBO’s Weight Loss Challenge

by Suzi on June 24th, 2009 in Cooking Events No Comments

The hit NBC show Biggest Loser, along with others like it have sparked some interesting local office weight loss challenges.

Cooking by the Book received a call from HBO wanting to celebrate their weight loss challenge with a healthful hands-on cooking lunch event. Leading up the event two teams competed over the span of 6 weeks to loose as much weight as possible. The winning team lost a total of 69 lbs while the other team lost a still impressive 62 lbs. If you ask me they were all winners. They concluded the event with some light cardio in the form of awesome line dancing.

On the Menu:
Avocado and Spicy Shrimp Cocktail
HBO Chicken Taco Salad
Grilled Fruit and Mango Sorbet
