Radford losers
At Monday's city council meeting (Oct. 27), Radford City Manager Tony Cox mentioned the recent conclusion of Radford's Biggest Loser, a program intended to help city employees lose weight and get in better shape. About 50 folks began the program, according to Cox, and 20 completed it. Those 20 people lost a cumulative 400 pounds. The top two losers lost 164 pounds. The biggest loser, Cox said, dropped 31 percent of his body weight. Cox didn't share any names.
"We did, fortunately, call the finish line just before the holidays," Cox said.
