MUSC's weight loss challenge program returns   How much is six pounds worth? It could be worth $200. It's time once again for Lose to Win, the weight loss challenge.   The holidays are approaching and for many of us, that means overeating. Every January the same New Year's resolution seems to be made: go on a diet, lose weight, exercise. What better way to accomplish that resolution than by joining Lose to Win?     The dietetic internship students have taken on the responsibility of the Lose to Win program as part of their curriculum. Interns from left are: Purvi Shah, Laura Becker, Amanda Clark,  Julie DesMarteau, Kevin Tomlinson and Holley Johnson. Dr. Ray Greenberg, MUSC president, shows his support of Lose to Win which is being offered as part of the Team MUSC Wellness program. This six-week program is designed to give participants helpful information on safe, effective weight loss strategies, as well as important tips on developing healthy behaviors.     Whether your goal is to lose weight, eat healthier, or begin an exercise program, Lose to Win can help you accomplish that goal.   There are many benefits of the program, including a weekly newsletter delivered to your home and weekly classes. You will not only gain valuable information, but you will also be eligible to win a prize, simply by attending class. Class topics include healthy cooking, tips to modify your recipes, and simple exercise moves, just to name a few.   The program cost is $15 if you register before Jan. 9,  or $20 on registration day, Jan. 16. There is an optional weigh-in on registration day. You may enter as an individual or as a team. Participants who lose six pounds will be registered for the grand prize cash drawing at the conclusion of the program.   Don't miss your opportunity to learn healthy behaviors and the chance to win prizes.
