'Dump Your Plump' Contest Returns to Fort Meade
Service members and defense workers can take part in the contest to encourage weight loss in 2014.

If you want to shed any holiday pounds and get in shape for the new year, the folks at Fort Meade want to help.
The installation is now accepting registrations for its "Dump Your Plump" contest, offering an incentive to lose weight in 2014. Service members and defense workers can enter individually or as a team. Winners will be determined by the overall percentage of weight loss during the contest period.
Registrations for the contest run from now through Jan. 6, and the contest itself will go from Jan. 6 to Feb. 26. Prizes will be awarded to the first- and second-place teams and individuals.
Applications can be dropped off at the Gaffney Fitness Center.
