The Road to Better Health...: 2014 WLC Maintenance Results

Season's Greetings

2014 Weight Loss Challenge Participants!

We are delighted to announce that the maintenance component of this year's challenge was a huge success. We congratulate all of our 2014 WLC participants with an extra round of applause for those who met goals and managed to keep their weight off! We are so proud of each of you for participating - no matter where you are in your journey towards a healthy weight - and are pleased to see that not only did many participants meet their goals, but that some also greatly surpassed them.

Keep up the great work!!

The 6 month maintenance component of the ESMM Weight Loss Challenge encourages participants to focus on maintaining the healthy changes adopted to achieve weight loss. The more we repeat a behavior, the more likely that it will become part of who we are - what we want to do rather than what we have to do.

Are you still being active?

Are you making half your plate fruits and veggies?

Even during the holiday season, these and other healthy habits should be a part of our lives so that our day to day choices can move us towards our goals rather than away from them. With this in mind, all 2014 Weight Loss Challenge participants were encouraged to weigh out one last time. Those who reached or surpassed the original 10 pound goal were eligible for a drawing to win one of six $50 Visa gift cards. Please join us in congratulating the winners of this year's maintenance challenge portion of the 2014 ESMM Weight Loss Challenge!
