Greater Jackson Shrinkdown's goal is to promote a healthier lifestyle. Studies have shown that with proper diet and regular exercise, specific medical conditions can be controlled. Our purpose is to help Greater Jackson's residents take those steps toward a healthier lifestyle. Shrinkdown is an eight-week program that begins with an initial weigh-in followed by eight weekly weigh-ins. Educational material containing both nutritional and fitness information is provided to each participant at their weekly weigh-in. The event is concluded with a final weigh-in, which gives us the total weight loss for the Greater Jackson area. This website monitors our progress, providing running totals.
Check past years' results of data collected at our weigh-in sites:

We hope the habits gained during this event will encourage all participants to continue making healthy choices. If you missed this year's event, just remember, it's never too late to start living a healthier lifestyle.
We would like to thank all our contributors as well as the media for their support during the event.
