The Wellness Program included daily low-calorie diet education provided through a WhatsApp group divided into 7 groups, low-calorie lunches every Monday to Saturday, indoor exercise every Wednesday, and outdoor exercise every Friday. However, before the treatment was administered, a pretest (initial measurement) was conducted to determine the initial condition, and after the treatment, a posttest (final measurement) was conducted to determine the final results.Results: There was a significant decrease in the average body weight before the program (84,5±13,3) and after the program (81,9±13,5), with p=0,000. Similarly, there was a significant decrease in BMI before the program (33,5±4,5) and after the program (32,4±4,7), with p=0,000, and Body Fat before the program (38,3±4,2) and after the program (35,3±4,0), with p=0,000. However, there was no significant change in the average visceral fat before the program (17,3±6,1) and after the program (16,7±6,3), with p=0.350.Conclusion : The "Light Weight Challenge" wellness program can reduce the weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), body fat, and visceral fat of inpatient employees at RSIJ CP.
