Reshape your life this fall with Air Force Materiel Command’s DOWNSIZED Challenge. The challenge encourages participants to lose and maintain a healthy weight by learning healthy lifestyle habits for nutrition and physical activity.

Participants who enroll and complete the official weigh-in will receive a free digital kitchen food scale. Civilian Health Promotion Services will conduct the challenge.

How to participate in the DOWNSIZED Challenge:

• Enroll online at http://www.afmcwellness.com/ until Oct 19.

• Lose 2 percent of your initial weigh-in weight through healthy lifestyle behavior from Oct. 22-Dec. 4, 2018. Example calculation: Beginning weight is 200 lbs.; 2 percent of 200 lbs. (0.02 x 200) = 4 lbs.
