Residents of the Westside of Stanislaus County are taking health into their own hands with some help from the West Side Health Care Advisory Task Force. Fed up with the lack of health services in the area, these newfound fitness freaks are challenging themselves and others to lose weight and get healthy with their own “biggest loser” competition. Seven teams of 10 people took turns crowding on to a giant agricultural scale. The total weight of each team was recorded and announced at the Healthy Communities Summit on Thursday. The team that loses the most weight in the next eight weeks will win bragging rights for their city.
