"It's a friendly competition."

     Donna Wheeless is the Director of Forrest General Outpatient Rehabilitation and Wellness Services.
     This is the second year that Forrest General has sponsored the New Year, New You competition.

"It's similar to popular competitions like the Biggest Loser. But we try to incorporate all elements of health and wellness, not just weightloss."

     12 teams of 2 people each will be chosen for the competition.
     The teams have 3 months to improve their overall health.

"They'll have a one on one with a dietician for a custom meal plan."

     Wheeless says that while many people make resolutions at the beginning of the year, they don't keep them for a long period of time.

"The New Year, New You competition is here to start that process but also to teach them the ways to maintain those healthy habits going forward."
