Commit to Fit back for another year

GENESEE COUNTY — The Commit to Fit! New Year, New You! Healthy Weight Loss Challenge is an eight week individual challenge that focuses on celebrating healthy living and community unity in the New Year.

Each year, many of us make a New Year’s resolution about our personal health that can be difficult to keep, but in 2013 Commit to Fit! will work to change that.

For this year, signing up for the New Year New You Challenge will help residents make their New Year’s resolutions come true.

Whether you want to simply monitor your weight after the holidays or choose to make a healthy weightloss goal, this challenge will motivate you to become a healthier individual! Commit to Fit! is asking you to join the community today by registering online at www.commit2fit.com. Participants who regularly log on and monitor their weight throughout the eight-week challenge will qualify for chances at a number of challenge incentive & prize raffles based on participation and goal achievement, including:

• $25 weekly cash prize drawings for individuals who simply register and enter a weight at the beginning and end of the challenge.

• Weekly drawings for Dunham’s Sports gift cards, subscriptions to Clean Eating magazine, and customized pedometers for participants who monitor and enter their weight online each week at www.commit2fit.com. • $500 in additional cash prize drawings for participants who lose three or more pounds during the challenge.

Registration for the New Year, New You! Healthy Weight Loss Challenge is now open for all residents who live or work in Genesee County. Please visit www.commit2fit.com to sign up and e-mail commit2fit@flint.org with any questions.

For any individual who would like assistance recording their weight and registering online, an open “Weigh-In” is available at the Greater Flint Health Coalition on each Tuesday and Thursday during the challenge from 9 a.m.–5 p.m. The address is 519 S. Saginaw St., 3rd Floor, Suite 306, Commerce Center, Flint.— G.G.
