It’s not too late-Sign up for the Zero Weight Gain Challenge!

The holidays are right around the corner and did you know people gain an average of 1 to 5 pounds over the six weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s? This year avoid your holiday weight gain and join the Zero Weight Gain Challenge! The goal of the Challenge is simply to maintain your weight over the holiday season. To stay motivated and encouraged throughout the Challenge, you will receive weekly emails from UT Extension-Jefferson County. The email topics will include: Balancing Calories, Controlling Portions, Paying Attention to Hunger Cues, Enjoying the Season, Stressing Less, and Staying Tuned-In. All Challenge participants can join the Challenge’s Facebook page to interact and support one another. Each participant will also receive a personal activity log to keep track of your progress. There is no cost to participating and all that is needed is an email address! For more information or to sign up for the Challenge, contact Melissa LaGraff at the UT Extension-Jefferson County Office- (865)397-2969/3969 or mrector@utk.edu.
