After a first memorable season, The City of Plattsburgh Recreation Department is again seeking candidates for the second season of the North Country’s Biggest Loser weight loss program, which is scheduled to be launched early October.

This group of individuals worked extremely hard and supported each other; setting the bar high for this season! “We are pleased to offer a bigger and better second season of the North Country’s Biggest Loser Program”, said Steve Peters, Superintendent of Recreation for the City of Plattsburgh. “Participants in the first year of the program had success in ways we never would have guessed. While weight loss was the focus, the quality of life component for our participants and their families was quite a surprise. This group is an inspiration to the community and it will be wonderful to offer the program again so that more people can participate”.
