Happier, Healthier Holiday Challenge taking place now
The free program that’s helped Fremont County users lose more than 1,600 pounds is running its annual Happier, Healthier Holiday Challenge. Weigh and Win is a free program funded by Kaiser Permanente that pays participants to lose weight.
For the holiday challenge, all participants must do is complete a pre-holiday weigh-in between Nov. 18-25 at one of Fremont County’s two kiosk locations, and then complete a post-holiday weigh-in between Jan. 1-8. If participants maintain their weight within one pound, then they are eligible for the prize drawing.
Everyone who maintains their weight is entered into a drawing. KP will give away ten grand prizes of a $125 Sports Authority gift card and ten runner-up prizes of a $25 Sports Authority gift card. In the year and a half that Weigh and Win has been here, Fremont County users have lost more than 1,600 pounds.
Weigh and Win was brought to Fremont County by the Fremont Regional Health & Wellness Team that’s based out of Cañon City Schools and also serves Fremont County’s RE-2 and RE-3 school districts.
Fremont County has two kiosks, one stationary at Cañon City Area Recreation and Park District, 575 Ash St., and the other is a traveling kiosk that can be checked out by schools or businesses for a one-week time slot. To learn how to check out the mobile kiosk, email Sarah Ley, [email protected]. Participants do not need to be insured by Kaiser Permanente to participate in the program.
