January 2012 update

 

Deadline Extended for Lose & Win Challenge Registration

Due to low participation, the deadline has been extended to register for the Lose & Win Challenge. Only 28 teams have registered to participate in this year's weight loss challenge.  Last year, we had 59 teams that lost over 2,800 pounds in 8 weeks.  That is an average of 6.5 pounds per participant!  Now is the time to form your support team and start losing those unwanted pounds.  

The registration deadline has been extended to Tuesday, January 24, 2012.  The cost is $50 per team ($10 per team member).

  • Teams will consist of 5 members from the same department or work-site location.
  • Each team will choose a Team Captain and Team Name
  • Teams will earn points based on improvements in body weight, body mass index and body fat %.
  • The top 10 teams will win awards
  • The more teams that participate, the higher the dollar amount of the awards.
