MONTGOMERY, AL (AP) -
A program designed to help Alabamians lose weight is kicking off its seventh year.
The state Department of Public Health is
encouraging four-member teams to start forming for Scale Back Alabama.
The teams will weigh in the week of Jan. 19-25 and weigh out the week of
April 6-12. The winners will be announced April 26.
There is no charge to enter. Teams where each
member sheds at least 10 pounds are eligible for a random drawing where
the first prize is $4,000, the second prize $2,000 and the third prize
$1,000.
Nearly 30,000 people participated in Scale Back
Alabama during 2012 and they lost nearly 149,000 pounds. The U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention figures that 32% of Alabama
adults are obese.
