Weigh to Go

Did you know that the average person gains as much as 7 pounds during the holiday season? Many people start gaining weight at Thanksgiving and continue gaining through New Year's Day. The Shepherd University Wellness Center is teaming up with PEIA to help you keep weight off during the upcoming holidays through the "Weigh to Go" program. "Weigh to Go" is a 7-week worksite wellness program designed to encourage participants to maintain their weight within 3 lbs. over the holiday season.

Participants will weigh in on November 10, 2009 and then weigh out on January 5, 2010.

All full-time and part-time Shepherd University staff and faculty may participate.

Those faculty and staff who are PEIA health insurance policy holders will be given a survival guide for the holidays and a food diary.

As a special incentive, the Wellness Center is giving all participants in the "Weigh to Go" program free access during the 7- week program!
