Key West The Newspaper

The holidays are just around the corner and the Florida Department of Health in Monroe County is challenging Keys residents to make healthy choices through the holiday season by joining a free Healthiest Weight Florida initiative. Many Americans who gain weight during the holidays never manage to lose the extra pounds. With the “Maintain, Don’t Gain!” challenge, participants are provided tips, tricks and ideas on how to keep weight under control during the holidays. The 7-week challenge runs November 13 -December 31. Anyone who signs up will receive newsletters, recipes and more via email.  To sign up, visit www.tinyurl.com/maintaindg.  Registration does not close, so participants can sign up at any time before the challenge concludes.
