Are you ready to make positive lifestyle changes, however big or small? Become part of the growing nationwide trend of communities working to reduce chronic disease and improve quality of life. Balancing work, family, physical and mental health are important to our overall well-being, but can be challenging. Take It Off Hawaii offers tips and tricks to help you take the important first step to start you on your journey of wellness!

Take It Off Hawaii is a 12-week community wellness program that encourages residents of Hawaii Island to improve their lifestyle. The goal is to reduce the incidence of chronic disease through improved nutrition and increased physical activity.

Take The Challenge! Teams of five or more members will join the challenge to compete for great prizes over a period of twelve weeks as they lose weight and take steps to become healthier. See Qualifying Guidelines. Come to a weigh-in/orientation where your starting weight will be recorded. Competition is based on the number of lifestyle points earned.
