Get your new year off to a healthy start by joining in the Biggest Loser Minnesota Challenge! The Alliance for a Healthier Minnesota created this statewide competition to encourage all Minnesotans to eat better and move more.

The competition is broken into three categories – weight loss, exercise, and nutrition. You can choose to be involved in all 3 categories or just one – it is all up to you!
The 12-week competition begins January 24. To participate in this challenge, you register at www.competeforhealth.org. For more information, contact your local SHIP Coordinator.
