Lose the weight and keep it off!
Tanica Plummer, Health's successful weight-loss challenger, was recently rewarded for her efforts by the Reggae Marathon with a Puma T-shirt and a complimentary entry to this year's Reggae Marathon 10K event in Negril on December 5.
Tanny, over a three-month period, was able to melt off 36 pounds through her own efforts and with the expert guidance of members of the Health team.
Reggae Marathon's Diane C. Ellis said that the organisation had been following the series from the start and was moved by the efforts of Tanny and of The Gleaner's Health section in promoting healthy lifestyles and wanted to encourage us.
"We are so proud of her achievement, and think that this reward will assist in her retention of a healthy lifestyle after she has achieved her weight-loss target," said Ellis.
