SAN ANTONIO - H-E-B's annual Slim Down Showdown 2016 kicked off Jan. 17. The Showdown is a 12-week competition where participants have a chance to win a $10,000 grand prize or a $5,000 health hero prize. The Showdown begins in San Antonio with an intensive, seven day wellness program known as Fit Camp, complete with fitness and nutrition training, cooking lessons and meal training.

 

Upon returning home, contestants receive coaching and support from H‑E‑B’s registered dietitians, past contestants and wellness coaches. At the halfway mark, contestants return to San Antonio for two days to receive a midpoint screening and reconnect with their personal fitness and nutrition experts to receive additional hands‑on cooking, meal planning and fitness training.

 

Overall winners will be announced during a Grand Finale celebration in San Antonio on April 16. To date, 185 contestants have lost over 4,000 pounds while participating in the Slim Down Showdown program.
