======================================================
Q&A
Q: Will my pictures by publicized? 
A: Your before, in-progress and after pictures will NOT be publicized or distributed to media. This will be for the coach's and your private records. Other participants in your batch may also be shown each others picture for the purpose of inspiring and enhancing the competition. At the end of the Challenge, you will look so great and feel so proud that you cant wait to show the whole world your pictures and what you have achieved.

Q: When will the Challenge start? End? Where is class venue?
A: We will start as soon as there are 15 participants in a class. From the progress of things, it looks that the Makati CBD Group will start first. We are targeting May 27 Wed 530pm as the 1st meeting. Last meeting is Aug 12 Wed 530pm. Venue is Unit UG8, Cityland 10 Tower 1, Makati City, across RCBC Plaza, adjacent to GT Tower.  We can start earlier even with fewer participants if the participants agree to a reduced amount of prize money.

Q: Have you done this program before?
A: The WLC program have been running for many years in the USA and have helped thousands of people lose weight and enhance their lives. This program have been standardized and introduced in the 70+ countries where we are operating. Introduction of this program in the Philippines was late last year and a number of batches have been succesfully completed. Many participants have lost weight and improved their health. I, personally have been involved in the successful weight loss of scores of clients, friends and family members. Running this program in this contest/course format will be my first.

Q: What are covered in the weekly classes/meetings?
A: The weekly topics and coverage is as follows:
1st: First Weigh-in, Measurement, Picture Taking, Orientation, The Healthy Weight Loss System, Cellular Nutrition Concept, Nutrition Guide   
2nd: Protein 101, The Healthy Breakfast
3rd: Meal Plans, Snacking, Water
4th: Metabolism
5th: Carbohydrates
6th: Nutrition Labels, Fats, Portion Control, Dining Out
7th: Digestive Health
8th: Fiber, Sugar
9th: Exercise
10th: Heart Health
11th: Maintenance; Long-Term Wellness
12th: Final weigh-in, measurement, recognition, raffle, awarding of cash prizes
Notes: Handouts and reading materails will be distributed in every meeting. Weigh-ins are done every meeting.

Q: What do I have to bring to the classes?
A: Notebook, pen, postive attitude.

Q: Will there be written or oral examinations?
A: No, but there will be written exercises to enhance discussions. 

Q: Is exercise involved in the Challenge?
A: Exercise is a topic (9th meeting) of this Challenge. Although many of our clients succesfully lost weight without exercise, I recommended it....but then again, it is not a requirement. The type, intensity, duration and frequency of your exercise is up to your own preference, physical limitations and medical conditions, and subject to your doctor's clearance. Personalized exercise programs or fitness coaching can be arranged, independent from this Challenge.

Q: Can I get all the handouts in the 1st meeting?
A: No. There are many concepts and information involved in your successful taking on of this Challenge. You will get these one-by-one or set-by-set in the weekly meetings. We dont want you experiencing "info overload".

Q: Do I need to pay extra fee for the Personal WLC Coach assigned to me?
A: No

Q: I can lose weight by just doing a crash diet or taking diet pills or starving. Can I do that and still win?
A: Crash dieting is not allowed. These have proven to be unhealthy and sometimes dangerous. We can easily spot those who went into crash diets. Note that this is a 12-week program... a crash diet cannot be sustained for that long and still keep healthy. Risking your health by doing the wrong/unhealthy weight loss method is not worth the prize money. What we will present and discuss are safe, effective and long-term methods of weight loss.

Q: If I miss a class, how do I make up?
A: There are no make-up classes, but you can still get the handout in the next meeting. Your assigned Personal WLC Coach may be willing to discuss the topic with you one-on-one. 

Q: Are there medicines or drugs involved?
A: Absolutely NOT! Only healthy food, correct information and leading you to the right choices.

Q: Is there a weight limit for the participants?
A: No. Our scale can read up to 330lbs and as low as below 100lbs.  You can join even of your are not very overweight and just have a few pounds and inches to lose. Although your chances of winning the Challenge is less than those who have more to lose.

Q: Can you give examples of people who have successfully lost weight using your program?
A: Sure. I will email names and photos (with permission) in a separate message.

Q: I'm concerned about my privacy. Can I still join?

A: The classes are not open to the public. You are exposed only to the coaches and the other participants in your class. They will know about your starting weight and progress. Your progress will inspire and impact your co-participants, and vice versa. While the environment of competetion will make it fun and motivating. A personalized one-on-one coaching (not in contest format) can be arranged for you, if you prefer total privacy.

Q: How will the In-house WLC program work?
A: Exactly the same as the regular WLC except that the venue will be provided by the client (company, club, organization) and the competition will be among its company employees or club members. The entry fees and prize money can be modified as the client wishes. To arrange an in-house WLC program, just email your company/org name and address, expected number of participants and preferred time and day of classes.
