The challenge was presented to us by our Health Chair, Dr. Linda James, M.D. We were advised to log our daily food intake via apps like My Fitness Pal or to keep a paper food diary by writing everything eaten in a journal. We were given a suggested exercise regime and a start-up guide. The purpose of this challenge was to make our members aware of their food and calorie intake and to combat health challenges and obesity amongst our members.
