Registration underway for ‘Biggest Winner’

Tuesday, December 11, 2012

The Advisory Committee to the Chancellor for Employee Health and Wellness (ACCEHW) will offer a new challenge to help employees whose New Year resolution includes eating smarter and exercising more.  The "Biggest Winner" competition will start on Monday, Jan. 7, and this eight-week contest is designed to motivate participants to reach their weight-loss goals.

During the challenge, participants will weigh in each week (weight will be kept confidential). The goal is to lose the largest percentage of overall body weight to win weekly prizes with the grand prize going to the “Biggest Winner.”

According to the ACCEHW, losing weight can reduce the risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease and other chronic ailments. To register for the “Biggest Winner,” visit the “Your Health” website.
