Atlanta Residents Pledge to Maintain a Healthy Weight
As part of milk's proud support for the American Heart Association's
Start! Heart Walks in cities across the country, the Campaign for Healthy
Weight will set up headquarters at walk events nationwide to rally
Americans to eat right, walk more and milk their diets. Participants at the
Atlanta Start! Heart Walk on November 1, 2008, who will already be taking
steps towards a healthier lifestyle, will be able to join thousands of
other Americans who have taken a healthy weight pledge and voted for milk
with their upper lips.
While at the Start! Heart Walk, visitors can:
-- Join the Campaign and take the pledge to maintain a healthy weight in a
healthy way with milk
-- Sample heart-healthy lowfat or fat free milk from local dairies
-- Speak with a local registered dietitian who can explain how simple,
lifelong steps can help maintain a healthy weight and a healthy heart
-- Take the Campaign for Healthy Weight Quiz to see how their weight
management habits compare to those of their fellow Americans
-- Take a souvenir Milk Mustache photo
-- Enter for a chance to win a FREE trip to the 2009 AHA Start! Heart Walk
in Hilo, Hawaii
