The Biggest Loser Challenge has returned to encourage employees to embrace the benefits of weight loss and exercise. The competition is being offered in conjunction with the statewide Scale Back Alabama campaign.

Initial weigh-ins begin the week of Jan. 12 and final weigh-ins take place the week of March 16. Weigh-ins will be administered Mondays from 4:30 to 6 p.m. and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Campus Rec Center Suite 170. Faculty, staff, active alumni and family members living their household who aren’t members of the Campus Rec Center can pay a $75 registration fee to participate; the fee includes full use of the facility from Jan. 12 through March 20. Sign up for the challenge as a team of four or as an individual.
