 The Healthy Lifestyle Contest

This is a  12-week “self-improvement” competition, designed to motivate participants to improve their health and to lose unwanted body fat.  The first assessment will be taken January 15th and the final one the week of April 6th. Registration Forms are on the Challenge website.
