Maintain, Don’t Gain Challenge
One of the toughest times of the year for maintaining/losing weight is the winter holiday season, from Thanksgiving to New Year’s. While the holidays are a time to rejoice, celebrate, and enjoy time with friends and family, many of these activities revolve around food. The Maintain, Don’t Gain program will help you get past the holidays without the weight gain. To sign up for this program, go to www.eatsmartmovemorenc.com. You will receive weekly e-mails from the NC Health Department as to how to maintain your weight this holiday season. At the conclusion of the program, those who have maintained their weight throughout the challenge will be entered into a drawing to win Wellness Center prizes! Free for members and non-members.
