RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif., Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Weight loss is a common goal, and websites developed to assist individuals in their weight loss efforts have popped up since the Internet first became a household commodity. Though these weight loss programs may be successful for some people, many dieters have found that they need stronger motivation to maintain their healthier lifestyles. Summer LaBrie, CEO of a new, member-based weight loss community, The Weight Race, understands that some people need an extra push of encouragement to achieve their weight loss goals.

For this reason, LaBrie created The Weight Race. A website that provides encouragement in the form of prizes, this online community takes motivation to the next level. With the motto, "Win When You Lose," The Weight Race will launch on March 1, 2012.
"I have always struggled with my weight," commented LaBrie, "and I know that it is very frustrating. People who need to lose weight typically know that they should eat less unhealthy foods and exercise more, but they aren't going to do it if they aren't motivated. I created The Weight Race to provide a unique kind of motivation. By giving away prizes that people want, like gift cards, The Weight Race provides that extra incentive for people to reach their weight loss goals."
The prizes distributed by The Weight Race will be organized into categories. Members who have lost five pounds can enter one particular drawing and those who have lost ten pounds can enter another. The categories continue from there, encouraging members to continue to work toward their ideal weight. To ensure that all drawings are fair, LaBrie will use random.org to determine the winners.
In addition to awarding prizes for weight loss, LaBrie has created a platform that individuals can use to track their workouts, record their weight, and interact with others who are striving toward similar goals. Members can earn badges for making healthy choices, play games, and communicate with one another.
"Above all else, I wanted to create an online environment where people feel comfortable, have fun and they are excited to lose weight," LaBrie stated.
At five dollars per month, The Weight Race is an encouraging and affordable resource for dieters. The motivation created by the contests, as well as the encouragement of other individuals who are striving toward a common goal, is invaluable to people looking to lose weight. As the website continues to grow, LaBrie plans to further reward its members; once membership hits 5,000 she will give away $5,000 dollars in a random.org drawing.
Losing weight can be a highly difficult task, which is why LaBrie has created The Weight Race. Through this website, she hopes to encourage weight loss efforts while motivating individuals to meet their goals.
