Wellness, Teamwork, and Friendly Competition: The Biggest Loser Contest 2025

_{April 16, 2025}
At Carington Park, we love a little friendly competition—especially when it brings our sister buildings together and helps us all focus on wellness, teamwork, and fun. Each year, our staff look forward to participating in the Biggest Loser Contest, a health-focused challenge between Carington Park, Jefferson Healthcare, Pine Grove Healthcare, and Saybrook Landing. This year’s competition ran from January 20 through March 31, and our teams were motivated and ready to go.



The contest encourages a healthy lifestyle, strengthens team bonding, and offers a fun way to win some prize money. Winners are determined by the highest percentage of weight lost, and we’re proud of the dedication and support everyone showed from start to finish.

At Carington Park, we added weekly wellness challenges to keep our momentum going. We hosted a yoga stretching challenge, where the staff member who shared the most yoga photos won a yoga mat. For the water challenge, the individual who tracked the most water intake earned a new water bottle. And during our healthy portions week, one participant took home a food scale or Tupperware set for practicing portion control.



While only three people walked away with prizes, everyone who participated gained something valuable—a healthier mindset, new wellness habits, and a great experience working together. Congratulations to our 2025 Biggest Loser winners: Amanda from Jefferson Healthcare took first place with $1,200, Johnnathon from Saybrook Landing came in second with $800, and Tracy from Saybrook Landing rounded out third with $400.

We’re proud of all who participated and can’t wait for next year’s competition!
