THE Jetts Noosa 12-Week Weight Loss Journey continued to test the limits of participants with a special paddle boarding session on the Noosa River recently.
Participants are approaching the half way point of the 12-week weight loss journey and they are beginning to drop the kilos.
Jetts Noosa personal trainer and martial arts expert Simon Golland put the participants through their paces with exercises both on and off the board – courtesy of local business Noosa Stand Up Paddle.
Among the participants storming ahead with their weight loss goals is 60-year-old Bob Cox.
Bob is a retired police officer who spent 10 years on the beat in Noosa and before that in Mount Isa.
The towering six-foot-four Bob said he was eager to drop about 20 kilos with his starting weight at 126.6kg.
“I’ve put on weight and lost weight my whole life,” he said.
“I’m really undertaking the 12-week weight loss journey to improve my health and reduce back pain.”
Bob has already dropped more than eight kilos and he’s embraced the weekly challenges with zest.
“I’m mainly doing this for myself and I’m aspiring to lose about 20 kilos,” he said.
Noosa Today will be revealing the starting weights and current weights of the eight competitors in the coming weeks.
