| The Better Body Buddies Program |
When it comes to making healthy lifestyle changes, having a strong support system can make all the difference! This is the philosophy behind our Better Body Buddies program. Your Buddy can be a coworker or immediate family member. Buddies will help each other set personal health and fitness goals, then work together to achieve them while offering each other inspiration, motivation, and support!
Four $50 cash prizes will be awarded!
Now grab a buddy and let's get started!

Weigh Out and Win!
Weigh-outs will take place November 16-19. The Buddies who achieve the greatest combined percent reduction in Body Mass Index (BMI) will each receive a $50 cash prize!
EXAMPLE: The BMI of Buddy #1 drops from 30.2 to 27.8, which is about an 8% decrease. The BMI of Buddy #2 drops from 32.5 to 29.0, which is about a 10.8% decrease. The combined percent reduction would be 18.8%.
