Third week of the Mayors' Challenge

Here are some excerpts from an update the YMCA put out yesterday on the mayor's challenge:

This week's health tip:
When trying to lose weight, know how to control your portion sizes. Remember - how much you eat can be just as important as what you eat. More in depth information on portion control is available here.

In the news this week:
Congratulations to Greensboro, recently designated as one of North Carolina's Fit Communities! Greensboro received this distinction based on efforts to increase the health of citizens through physical activity, healthy eating, and prevention of youth tobacco use. Fit Community is sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina as well as the North Carolina Health and Wellness Trust Fund.

Mayors Update:
Our mayors are doing a great job on their healthy eating and exercise program. In the first two weeks, they had lost a collective 27 pounds!
