Purpose:
The average
American gains 1-5 pounds over the holiday season and usually does not lose it.
Over time, it can add up! To encourage and support weight management and
healthy habits over the holiday season, UC San Diego Health Employee Benefits offers
a 7-week Maintain Don’t Gain Challenge from November 14, 2016 – January 7, 2017.
This Challenge is sponsored by Kaiser Permanente and provides participants with tools, motivation and education to maintain weight throughout the holiday
season. During the first and last weeks of the challenge there are weigh-ins
and weigh-outs. Weekly emails with tips, resources, and challenges will be sent
to all participants. Participants will receive incentives for participating
including a 30-day Build-a-Meal booklet and an opportunity to win a mountain
bike!
