If you’re making a resolution to not overindulge this holiday season, one way to help keep it is by signing up for Maintain, Don’t Gain 2015. Register now through Oct. 23.

The annual Employee Wellness challenge helps participants keep their weight on target during the holiday season.

Maintain, Don’t Gain contestants will track their weight, calorie intake, water consumption and physical activity for eight weeks—Oct. 19 through Dec. 11.

Employee Wellness Coordinator William Erese said the best way to stay on top of your efforts is to log your food intake every day.

“These efforts will help ensure you meet your health goals, even during the holidays,” Erese said.
