There are two ways to participate!
Weight Loss Challenge
For each pound you lose during the challenge you will earn one point for your team!
Maintain, Don’t Gain Challenge
We understand that not everyone needs to lose weight but instead may need to focus on maintaining their current, healthy weight. If you are in a good place in your wellness journey and still want to help your team, make sure you are within the CDC’s normal category for BMI(18.5—24.9) and weigh in with your coordinator. Then maintain your current weight during the challenge and earn 5 points for your team.
Please note, you must be within the normal BMI level to participate in the Maintain, Don’t Gain category of the challenge. During your weigh in, your coordinator will confirm your BMI using the CDC’s calculator. You can check your BMI now using this link: CDC BMI Calculator .
