Little Silver Dental Care presents . . .

2012 Competition

Dr Peterson understands the relationship between a healthy body and a healthy mouth.  It's all connected folks. And when someone is overweight, they are not as healthy as they can be. It may only be one piece to the puzzle, but it's a start. Losing weight on your own can be a drag so join us this spring and let's get healthy together!

After the overwhelming popularity of last year’s “Biggest Loser of Little Silver Dental Care” competition, Dr Peterson has gone OVERBOARD in 2012 and has created The Biggest Loser - Princess Cruiser! This is a weight loss competition open to all patients, employees, and staff associated with Little Silver Dental Care - the overall winner (and guest) will set sail for one glorious week on The Princess Cruise line from New York to Canada!

Are you up for the challenge? Dr Peterson packed on about 25 pounds this winter and he’s itching to get rid of it! So join in on the fun and excitement and challenge yourself to be The Biggest Loser of 2012. Who knows, maybe you’ll even win a wonderful vacation for two aboard the luxurious Princess cruise ship.

Ok - now that the stage has been set, let’s get into the details.

Details, Details, Details. . .

• This contest is set to begin on Monday, April 16th and end on Wednesday, July 18th - running for a little over 12 full weeks. Initial registrations and weigh-ins will be taken during the week of April 16th through the 20th.
• The winner will be the person who loses the most weight - determined by overall percentage of weight lost - from the time of their initial weigh in to the end of the contest
• If you are a patient, staff member or employee of Little Silver Dental Care - you are eligible to participate in this contest (New Patients are always welcome!)
• You do not have to start on the specified start date but all contestants will finish on the designated end date of July 18th. You can start any time you like up until May 18th - at which point the contest will be closed to new entries.
• The date of the cruise for the overall winner is Saturday, October 13th for 7 days. This date is set and not transferable. If the winner is unavailable to go on this date, he/she may give this cruise away to someone else. However, the names of the 2 passengers MUST be declared on or before July 20th 2012. This is a cruise ship rule that must be adhered to. Don't forget to check your passports too - make sure they are up to date.

How the Contest Will Work

• To enter, fill out a registration form. You can download a form from here, print it out, fill in the details and bring it in. Or you can get a form by coming into the office and filling it out while you are here.
• Send an e-mail to info@littlesilverdental.com to let us know you are interested and planning to participate in the contest.
• At your start date you will be weighed on the “official” scale and your starting weight will be recorded. We understand that many people do not want to have their weight disclosed or shown to others. Actual weights will be kept confidential and only weight change percentages will be shown throughout the contest.
• Each week during the contest period you will be required to come into the office for a weigh in. Again, confidentiality is important and we have taken the proper measures to keep it that way.
• We will determine the weight change percentage for each contestant on a weekly basis and post the results so you can keep track of your status.
• At the end of the contest, the person with the biggest percent loss of weight will be the overall winner. In case of a tie, there will be a three day weigh-off between the leaders to break the tie.
• The winner and a guest will enjoy a magnificent 7 day cruise (with plenty to eat!) on October 13th departing from New York.

Doesn’t that sound WONDERFUL? Let’s all get healthy together, lose some weight and have fun with it! Sounds too good to be true . . . but it is true. Many of you are probably dieting or going through some type of weight loss program anyway. Why not enter into the Biggest Loser - Princess Cruiser contest and give yourself a chance at the big prize at the end. Heck - even if you don’t want to go on a luxurious cruise vacation, you can always give it away to someone else if you win! What’s better than that?

So get your registration form filled out and come on in to Little Silver Dental Care to get started! Tell your friends if you know someone who might be interested in joining in on the competition.

The Fine Print. . .

Commitment till the bitter end - Know in advance that if you choose to enter this contest that you should be committed to weighing in each week and continuing to do so until the competition is over. Think of it as signing up for a 12 week diet program.

Your contribution to the cause - Guess what? In addition to the amazing Princess Cruise, the winner will also get a pocket full of cash money to take with them to be used for, well, whatever they want on their vacation! Guess what again? Every time you weigh in you will grow this ‘fund’ by contributing $10 to the kitty. A drop in the bucket - so to speak (or in this case, the money jar).

A new chance to win every week - After all participants weigh in each week the weight change percentages are calculated. In any given week if you drop the most weight (by percent change from the previous week) out of all the contestants, you win your $10 back! That’s right - win the week and you don’t have to pay the toll.

What time is it? - Weigh in times and days may vary a bit depending on the number of entries we get. After the first week of the contest, we will try to organize and let you know the best times for you to come to get weighed in each week.

Safety first - Should losing weight really be a contest? Well, since we’re in a gray area here it is best that you use your best judgment on this one. A little common sense goes a long way so remember that the intention of this contest is to have fun and get healthy in the process. Consult with your regular physician prior to starting any weight loss program and don’t do anything to compromise your overall health. We have a health and nutrition counselor on staff if anyone would like to schedule a consultation before, during or after the contest. Click here for more details.
