H.A. Sun Heating & Cooling employees Charolette Salo and Jeff Klueger are pictured after their company-wide Biggest Loser weigh-in.

When Oklahoma City was named one of the fattest cities in America, Mayor Mick Cornett challenged residents to lose weight as a city and, as a result, they lost a combined one million pounds.

Henry Abrams, owner of H.A. Sun Heating & Cooling in Bloomfield Hills, has announced a similar challenge for Oakland County businesses.

My goal and end result on a larger scale would be to lower insurance premiums by having people losing weight and being more conscious of what they're eating, Abrams said.

Abrams is hosting an eight-week contest within his own company based on the NBC show The Biggest Loser. Nineteen of Sun Heatings 50 employees have signed up to lose a collective 400 pounds.

The group collectively weighed in at 4,260.9 pounds at the beginning of the contest last month.

The first-place winner will receive $500 and the second place winner will receive $250. Employees will be judged based on percent of body weight lost, not total number of pounds.

The current first-place winner at the fifth weigh-in is Roberta Gorevitz. Second place is Eric McMullen and third place is Charlotte Salo. Abrams said the first-place winner has, so far, lost 10 percent of her body weight. As of last week, the group collectively lost 120 pounds.
