Operation Transformation has just returned to RTE for its 8th series and this year we are joining hundreds of communities around the country and joining in.

If you want to lose a few pounds or get more active in 2015 or even just get to know more parents in the area, please join in.

The Parents Association are organising weekly weigh in’s and walks from Wednesday January 14th. The weigh-in will take place between 8.30-9am in Hall 1 in the Junior School hall followed by a 2.5k and a 5.5k walk. Both the weigh in and walk are completely optional.

An evening weigh in will take place in Hall 2 in the Senior School on Thursday 15th  evening from 7.45pm to 8pm, followed by a 2.5k and a 5.5k walk for those who cant make the weigh in on Weds. Again the walk afterwards is optional or if you just want to join the walk, that’s fine too!

The weekly weigh in’s/ walks will remain at this time for the next 8 weeks.

The weekly weigh in’s will be completely confidential. Nobody will see your weigh in only you and everybody tracks their own weigh loss, privately. You can share any loss weekly with the group so together we can track overall weigh loss but again this is optional.

Everybody is welcome, all ages, all levels of fitness and all body shapes! There are no costs involved the only requirement is a desire to be healthier this year.

There is lots of information on the Operation Transformation website including weight trackers, food plans and recipes and we will be updating here with more information as we go along.

If you have any questions please get in touch, comment below or via the contact form here and please spread the word to any other parents who might be interested.
