Don’t gain weight this Holiday season!... Maintain your weight with Weigh Active and Healthy’s Project Maintain.

The week before Thanksgiving we will put Salt Lake County residents on the scales to weigh in their pre-holiday weight. During the 7-week program, participants will keep a food and activity journal as well as receive weekly challenges, tips, and holiday recipes to help them keep off those extra holiday pounds. The week after New Year’s we will put everyone back up on the scale to check their post-holiday weight and see who was successful in Project Maintain.

To sign up for Project Maintain, please send an email with your name, address, and age to weighactiveandhealthy@slco.org. There is no cost to participate in this program.
