What is Losing to Live?

Losing to Live is a faith based weight-loss competition. It was created because it is so hard for people to lose weight on their own. But with God’s help and the encouragement of a group of like-minded weight losers, anyone can become healthier and live a full rich life.

The Losing to Live competition was created by Pastor Steve Reynolds, Senior Pastor of Capital Baptist Church in Annandale, VA (a suburb of Washington, DC). He is the author of Bod4God. After losing over 100 pounds of weight he was labeled “The Anti-Fat Pastor.”

This is a weight-loss program that really works! Nutritionist, Vivian Hutson, said “Bod4God has produced more sustainable weight-loss for its participants than any other program that I have been involved with in my twenty years as a dietitian.”

The competition takes place over a 12 week period of time. Each participant is encouraged to join one of our six groups meeting at different times and locations. Group meetings occur once per week. All participants have the same goal which is to get healthier and lose weight as they compete with group members and other groups. Participants are provided with the inspiration and information they need to lose weight. The first weigh in January 19th, the final weigh in is April 13. See Rules below for more information.

This competition offers participants an opportunity to lose weight in a fun and supportive environment.

Registration for The Ridge’s Losing to Live weight loss competition is only $20 and all participants receive a Losing to Live Weight-Loss kit which includes:

Official Losing to Live magnet
T-shirt “I joined a Group of Losers”
Bod 4 God silicone wristband
A listing of groups that will meet.

The Losing to Live weight-loss program has been featured on local, national, and international media including FOX News and CNN, as well as the front pages of the Washington Post and Chicago Tribune.
