Can You Lose More Weight Than the Mayor? Woodbridge Initiates the Drop-a-Ton Challenge

Can you lose more weight than Mayor John McCormac? If you can beat the mayor in losing pounds by Oct. 31, you can win a free three-month membership to the Woodbridge YMCA and get a "Total Makeover" at Vito Mazza Salon and Day Spa.

The township is launching the Woodbridge Drop-a-Ton Challenge, starting today at the YMCA at the Woodbridge Community Center. Raritan Bay Medical Center will provide target goals, and diet and exercise tips. The Challenge will also donate $1 for every town pound lost to help stock township food banks.

The goal is help township residents get healthy by losing 2,000 pounds and donate $2,000 to feed the hungry. 

Residents can go to the YMCA for an evaluation and join there, or sign up on the Challenge's Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Woodbridge-Drop-a-Ton/160909757309625
