Join St. Joseph Hospital to celebrate the recent success of our Lighten up Nashua Participants and learn more about the new 2013 season. St Joseph Hospital will be hosting the Lighten Up Nashua kick-off event on Thursday, January 24 from 3-7:00 pm in the Atrium/Main Lobby of St. Joseph Hospital, 172 Kinsley Street in Nashua. Participants will learn who the Lighten Up Nashua fall session winners were and how to sign up for Season Two. During the event participants can take part in health screenings, cooking demos, raffles and they will also receive a FREE Lighten Up Nashua T-shirt (while supplies last). You do not have to be a Lighten Up Nashua participant to attend the event.

LightenUpNashua.com is a FREE, community online weight-loss program sponsored by St. Joseph Hospital. The program was designed to motivate individuals and teams to focus their energy on achieving a healthy lifestyle and ultimately joining others to reach their ideal weight or BMI (Body Mass Index). In addition, the program offers access to free healthy recipes and cooking videos, exercise tips and information on local health events. Prizes are available for the top female and male individual participants and the top 4-person team that loses the highest percentage of weight in set session. Over 3,300 pounds have been lost by the participants in 2012.  Registration is ongoing throughout the year but the next Lighten Up Nashua Session runs from January 28 to May 17. You do not have to live in Nashua to participate.
