Weight loss challenge begins Monday

A group of local residents are sponsoring a 12-week weight loss challenge beginning Monday.
The course, conducted by personal health coaches Cathy, Curtis and Abbey Johnson, will offer tips on nutrition and exercise and offer a "hint of competition."
The registration fee is $29 per person, with proceeds going toward prize money. The course will begin at 6 p.m.  Monday at the Homer Cole Center, 3003 N. Joplin. For information or to register, persons may call 620-875-2798 or 530-604-9729.
