Breaking the Barriers: Weight Loss Challenge @ NMC Royal Hospital Sharjah
As part of the 18 Quality improvement projects, Quality and Dietetics organized a weight loss challenge on 13th Feb 2019 at NMC Royal Hospital Sharjah. Thirty employees participated in the 45 days challenge, where the idea was to reduce excessive weight by changing only the mindset (inference from DMAICS). No conventional interventions like diet chart or exercise regimes were used in the program. Body Composition of all participants was assessed at the beginning and at the end of the program and four presentations were delivered at an interval of 15 days.
Ms. Sophia Joseph had the highest reduction in BMI, followed by Mr. Krishna Jadhav and Ms. Mahalekhsmy Nair. The highest weight reduction recorded was 6.60 Kgs by Mr. Krishna Jadhav, who also had a significant reduction in his waist circumference, just in 45 days. More than 83% of the participants benefitted from the program.
The winner was awarded the trophy that can be claimed by whosoever challenges the current title holder and, achieves maximum reduction in the BMI, in the subsequent months. The program was a great success.
