Research studies show most adults gain some weight over the holidays. To help faculty and staff celebrate the season while still maintaining health goals, MHealthy is offering “Move, Lose & Maintain,” a healthy lifestyle program designed to keep employees moving and eating smarter into the new year.
The eight-week program runs Nov. 18-Jan. 12.

The goal of Move, Lose & Maintain is to get participants moving to maintain their current weight and/or waist measurement, or even lose a little. The program encourages being active for at least 30 minutes, at least three days of the week.
“For many who are trying to maintain a healthier diet and exercise, the end of the year can be a real challenge,” says Colleen Greene, MHealthy senior wellness coordinator. “With office parties, holiday celebrations and winter break, it can be difficult to fit in physical activity and just take care of ourselves.”
To register, attend one of the following weigh-in sessions. Height, weight and waist size will be measured and participants will receive weekly motivational emails and a program booklet that includes recipes, healthy tips, and a log to track physical activity. Participants will weigh-in again at the end of the eight weeks.
