2014 H-E-B Slim Down Showdown Contestants Kick Off

Photography by Roswitha Vogler - On Friday, February 7, 2014, Houston Style Magazine was on hand at the H-E-B on West Alabama as the H-E-B Slim Down Showdown Contestants kicked off their 14-week weight loss journey with pantry makeovers. Contestants were treated to a complete makeover of their pantries during an in-store shopping tour led by an H-E-B dietitian. H-E-B selected a combination of 30 H-E-B Partners (employees) and customers from around the state to compete in the 2014 Slim Down Showdown, giving them a chance to win a $10,000 grand prize or a $5,000 “health hero” prize. The contest began Jan. 6 with an intensive, weeklong wellness program in San Antonio and will continue for the next 12 weeks. Anyone can follow their journey by visiting the website Heb.com/slimdown.
