Will you commit to the challenge?
On average, Americans gain eight pounds during the period from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day. We embark on another Not a Single Pound Challenge to help encourage all employees to practice mindful eating habits during the holiday season.
All Kettering Health employees, volunteers, and physicians over 18 years of age are eligible to participate. Please note, you are not required to disclose your weight to participate in the challenge but are welcome to do so if you prefer, or if it helps you. The challenge follows an honor system or self-reporting approach.
