Nwi Byline Podcast

The function of a newspaper is to inform readers of a variety of topics. However, is there room for it to possibly change someone's life? That's what some have felt that do and have participated in the Times' weight loss contests. In its second year of existence, the yearlong competition, named Lose 17 in '17, doesn't only provide a leaderboard as to who can put off the most pounds. It moreover is a platform of accountability for the 17 contestants to stick to their goals, which often requires a lifestyle change. From changing up diets to discovering creative ways for more physical activity, current and former weight loss contestants share their stories, lessons and tips. The Byline podcast is a production of the Times of Northwest Indiana. Listen at nwitimes.com/podcasts. Byline is a show about stories from Northwest Indiana and the reporters who tell them.
