Purpose:
To lose - or not gain - weight and become healthier over the long winter months. It's for everyone, whether you want to lose 1, or maybe 100 punds this fun program is for you.

How it works:
Weigh in at your business, at one of the designated sites during the first week of November (5th-9th), or at the kickoff event. Exercise more, eat healthier and lose weight. Weigh-in on the same scale the week of February 18th-22nd. All final weights must be in by February 26th so that we can total up how much we have lost as a community.

For each seminar that you attend, you will receive 1 coupon that can be used for the door prizes at the “Leap to Success” celebration on Friday, February 29th.  Each individual is responsible for keeping their own coupons until the celebration.
