After great results and positive employee feedback in 2020, the Weigh of Life challenge is back! Don't let the name fool you. This 12-week educational lifestyle change program is not about weight loss alone. It is designed to support sustainable weight management through self-monitoring, balanced eating and regular physical activity. Whether you are motivated by weight loss, disease prevention, or just looking to be and feel healthier in 2021, the Weigh of Life challenge is for you.
Weigh of Life runs January 11 through April 4, 2021. The challenge consists of educational materials created by Be Well Solutions health professionals, as well as accountability through daily food and activity tracking via an online platform (and now supported by an app). You complete the tracking on your own time, and you are not competing against anyone else but rather building skills and habits for lifelong success. Participants will have unlimited email access to Be Well's registered dietitians for personalized nutrition and lifestyle support throughout the challenge.
