HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah – It's that time of year when extra calories lurk around every corner – cookies at the office, eggnog at your neighbor's holiday party, or gifts of chocolates and candy.

All these extras add up, and if you're like most Americans, you'll put on a pound or two by New Year's Day.

Come learn how you and your family can eat, drink, and move your way to a healthier holiday season before those visions of sugar plums go to your waistline.

Some topics covered include:

Strategies to avoid holiday weight gain and lessen holiday stress; discuss ways to eat better and stay active during the holiday season; and provide helpful tips for recipe substitutions .
