Reno, NV -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/02/2012 -- Marketing Xocolate International Corporation (MXI-Corp) will host a 12-week weight loss and wellness challenge among its distributors around the world.

“The goal of this challenge is to promote general wellness and fit lifestyles among our distributors,” said Andrew Brooks, founder and executive vice president of MXI-Corp. “The competition is designed to be a fun program and to generate a little ‘healthy’ competition among distributors, with the ultimate goal of making permanent, healthy changes.”

Teams will consist of five people, and winners will be determined based on the highest percent of weight loss, not the amount lost, during the competition. For example, a starting weight of 220 pounds with an ending weight of 200 pounds would be a nine percent loss of body weight. Prizes will be given to teams as well as individual team members with the largest percentage of weight loss.

Weigh-ins will be held every Wednesday and rankings will be tracked each week online.

“MXI-Corp is all about sharing healthy dark chocolate products around the world, so it makes sense that the company wants to promote healthy living among its network,” said Adam Green, MXI Ambassador and president of Winner’s Circle International. “This friendly challenge is a great way to build camaraderie among distributors and to motivate individuals to work as a team toward a goal of health.”
