What is Lighten Up Portage Area?
Lighten Up Portage Area is an online community-wide, team-based exercise and weight loss incentive challenge, brought to you by Divine Savior Healthcare. The program is designed to help you jump start healthy habits through small realistic and permanent changes in exercise and eating habits.
All information will be self-reported by entering it into your own personal online profile. Results will be reported as a team average. No individual measurements will be shared. Each team will be competing against other teams throughout our community and state to meet exercise and weight loss goals over a 100 day period (January 19th - April 29th). The names of the leading teams will be published weekly in the Portage Daily Register.
How to Register & Form a Team

2. Select a team leader and a team name.
3. Register between January 2-19, 2010
4. You can either be part of a Company Team or a Community Team.
