'Biggest Loser' contest a hit with U of M Police

Katie Seitz videoPolice officers with the University of Minnesota are competing to see who can lose the most weight or body fat as part of a "Biggest Loser" contest co-organized by officer Katie Seitz. Seitz is also enrolled in the School of Public Health.

Seitz said she started thinking about the idea after writing papers on obesity among police officers.

"Our entire community in the United States is overweight," she said. "I don't think police are exempt from it."
