Maintain, Not Gain Challenge with Healthy Washington County
November 21, 2022 - January 2, 2023

Did you know that it’s become a normal trend for people to gain
between 5-10 pounds during the holiday season?
With just a few changes, you can join the effort to Maintain, Not Gain! Here’s the challenge:
Visit this link and either sign up for your first weigh in or log on and weigh in before Thanksgiving/in early December – https://weighttracker.meritushealth.com/
Consider choosing “healthier” this holiday season – Increase your activity level daily with more stairs/less elevator; Change up your food choices with apples and cheese sticks instead of a handful of cookies or chocolates; Be mindful of the present (Presents, yes, but also the moment you are in 😉 by listening more to those you interact with, taking in the scents of the season, focusing on your breathing and taking control of your thoughts.
Hop back on HealthyWashingtonCounty.com after New Year’s Day and record your weight … which is bound to be the same or perhaps even less than when you started the challenge!
That’s all there is to it! If you enjoyed the accountability that comes with tracking your weight and the resources and support of HealthyWashingtonCounty.com, keep it up in the new year! It’s going to take us all to lose one million pounds by 2030 as a community, so do your part and Do, Eat and Believe in a Healthy Washington County!
