Just a reminder: The North Shore Shape Up 2014 Weight Loss Challenge begins this Monday, Jan. 27.
The 12-week program will run through April 21. Participants will report their weight every two weeks and — besides enjoying the benefits that come from improved health — are eligible to win prizes. You can sign up by contacting Wellness Coordinator Lynn Jack at ljack@northshorebank.com or (262) 797-3346.
The aim of the challenge is, of course, to lose weight in a healthful and sustainable manner. You can do it in one of several ways:
- On your own, by exercising and adjusting your eating habits
- By joining Weight Watchers and taking advantage of the bank’s at-work discount
- By calling the Aurora Employee Assistance Program to (800) 236-3231 ask for support and coaching
- By joining Aurora HMR for a structured dieting program
- Or by joining another weight-loss program
North Shore Shape Up encourages all of you who want to participate to support each other by forming teams, sharing ideas and competing with other departments and branches. Let’s make this fun! Prizes for this year’s challenge include Brewers tickets, free massages and gift cards — and the grand prize, a six-month fitness club membership!
Get in touch with Lynn with any questions. Good luck and stay healthy, everyone!
