Northbrook Woman Wins "Be a Loser" Contest

A Northbrook woman is the winner of a “Be a Loser” contest that will give her better opportunities to lose weight.

The Daily North Shore tells the story of Teresa Marie Kasper, a 54-year-old who has been overweight for much of her adult life. She entered a contest she found in a local newspaper ad for Five Seasons Family Sports Club, which awarded one winner a one-year family membership to the club, two one-hour training sessions per week for the year, an activity tracker, nutrition counseling, Five Seasons fitness gear and a weekly goal-setting workshop.

On Christmas Day, she found out she was the chosen one.

“We were looking for someone who needed to lose weight and turnaround their health and someone who would be committed since it’s a year-long program,” said Chief Club Officer Lina Lubbat, “and she has been. Every time you walk into the club you see her here.”

Kasper was chosen out of nearly 50 candidates for the first-year program, which was inspired by the success of the health club’s sister location in Cincinnati.
