Better Body Challenge Kick-off
The Better Body Challenge, one of the most popular Get Healthy De Soto programs, starts on Thursday, January 24th. It will be held at Vineland Elementary School Gym from 5-7:30 pm. The goal of the program is to help individuals lose weight in a way that is healthy and lasting. Tips, recipes, and a cheering section have helped participants lose weight and keep it off. Several booths will be set up during the kick-off, so feel free to peruse the gym. There is a sizable prize for the man and woman who lose the most.
In addition to getting weighed and measured at the kick-off, there will be bi-weekly weigh-ins on the following dates:
- February 7th
- February 21st
- March 7th
- March 21st
- April 4th
- April 18th
April 18th will be the final weigh-in, and like all the other weigh-ins after the kick-off, it will be held at the De Soto Community Center from 5:30-7 pm. We’ll try to send reminders about the weigh-ins, so please be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed to keep up to date.
The cost is $25.00 per participant. This includes a t-shirt, health fair, and encouragement. For more information or to request an enrollment form: call Mark at 636-586-9820. This program is sponsored by Get Healthy De Soto and DARE.
