I got some great news from my little sister yesterday.  Her sorority/fraternity at Logan College of Chiropractic in St Louis is doing a Biggest Loser competition vs some of the other organizations on campus. The competition starts on April 23rd and goes until their next trimester (so approx 4 months). The goal is to lose weight and get in shape in a healthy manner with an emphasis on healthy.

I was pretty excited when I heard this. It’s great to see young people taking charge and challenging each other to get in shape and live healthy lives. I think its especially important for colleges to embrace healthy activities and promote challenges such as this. We all know what happens when kids get into college (dreaded Freshman 15 anyone?) and anything that can be done to motivate and challenge the students is top-notch in my book.

So with that said, please join me in wishing everyone at Logan College the best of luck in their upcoming challenge.  Hopefully we can get some of them to post their ongoing results here on the blog. **crossing fingers**
