Remember our Lose Baby Weight Loss initiative? Well, 90 days have passed, and we have a winner, or should we say loser? Our Details Department Manager, John Ruffin, lost an incredible 60 pounds during our challenge, a total of 16.2 percent of his body weight! In addition to all of the benefits that come with a healthier lifestyle, including more energy and a smaller risk for certain health issues, John was awarded $1,000 from Milton Ruben Superstore.

How did John do it?
1) He dropped two of his biggest caloric offenders: sugary drinks and beer
2) He walked during his lunch break
3) He worked out several nights a week after work
4) He adjusted his portion sizes
Congratulations John, you’re an inspiration!
More than 60 Milton Ruben employees participated in Lose Baby. While the main reason people joined was undoubtedly to lose weight, the voluntary program’s goal was to educate, to motivate and to encourage one another to stay focused. We did this by keeping a confidential record of percentage weight lost per individual, and helping members stay on track with weekly healthy goodies, and informative and educational materials on proper diet and fitness. We even started a private Facebook group to share recipes and tips. Going forward, we’ll use these tools to maintain our progress.
Above all, we believe that happy employees lead to happy customers. And we’re so proud of all of our participating employees. Be sure to visit our stores to congratulate all of our participants!
