Mobile County Health Department and Family Health employees have just a few more days before registration closes for the free statewide weight-loss initiative Scale Back Alabama. Teams of two should register online this week at www.scalebackalabama.com.
Weigh-in week is from January 19 through 23, 2015, at your primary work location.
A drawing will be held for cash prizes at the end of the program.If you have questions, please contact Margaret McCulloch at 251-690-8173 or mmcculloch@mchd.org
Once the registration is submitted, team members print the registration confirmation and take it with them to a local weigh-in site to do their initial weights. On-site registration will also be available for those who do not pre-register. Each week during the 10-week program, participants will receive health tips on eating less and moving more, along with information on great outdoor activities taking place across the state.
Since its beginning, the program has resulted in 1.1 million pounds lost in a state that ranks eighth in the nation in terms of adult obesity. Scale Back Alabama is sponsored by the Alabama Hospital Association, the Alabama Department of Public Health and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama.
