Sign up for the 2018 Maintain Don't Gain Challenge

For the first time, all UC ANR staff are invited to take the UC Maintain Don't Gain Challenge during the holiday season. The challenge, brought to you by the UC ANR Staff Assembly wellness committee, runs from Nov. 19 to Jan. 7.

The average American gains 1 to 5 pounds over the holidays and over time, the weight can add up. Don't wait for New Year's resolutions. Give yourself the gift of maintaining your pre-holiday weight. Join your UC ANR colleagues to take the Maintain Don't Gain Challenge.

Incentives and prizes make participation fun. And don't worry, there are no weigh-ins!

The first 100 UC ANR staff to sign up for the Maintain Don't Gain Challenge will receive an insulated grocery tote. Those who complete a brief survey (with no 'results' info) after the challenge will be entered to win a FitBit Alta.

You will receive weekly emails with hints and strategies for adopting healthy behaviors throughout the holidays. The program will provide tips and support for improving nutrition, physical activity and mental/emotional well-being.

To register, click here and complete the survey.

The Staff Assembly Ambassador for the Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Emily Casado, shows the insulated bag that the first 100 registrants to the UC ANR Maintain Don't Gain Challenge will receive.
