TMC's Biggest Loser

Press Release posted on 04/02/2009

TMC announced today that 45 employees have lost 606 pounds by participating in the company’s own version of The Biggest Loser.

The 12-week Biggest Loser competition was part of TMC’s Road to Health wellness initiative.  The program involved weekly weigh ins and corresponding weekly prizes. TMC’s Biggest Loser was Mike Brockman, TMC’s hospitality center manager, with a total body weight percentage loss of 21.16 percent. Brockman was awarded two paid vacation days for his accomplishments.

"I had been thinking about losing weight for awhile and I am glad TMC did this because I needed some motivation to get healthier. There were a lot of things that I wanted to do before that I can do now.”

TMC’s Road to Health wellness program began in January with a wellness fair at its Des Moines headquarters. Wellness activities are planned throughout the year that focus on nutrition, exercise and stress management for both office personnel and drivers. A new series in the driver newsletter Black and Chrome will feature health tips from TMC drivers.
