Web site helps people stick to their New Year's resolution to be healthy.

Remember that resolution you made to be more healthy this year? Now here's a way to help you meet that goal. It's called Lighten Up Virgina.

"The goal of Lighten Up Virginia is to encourage all Virginians to lead a healthier lifestyle," says Tammi Jewel. She's spokeswoman for Virginia Amateur Sports, which sponsors the four month competition.

Jewel says taking part is easy -- just form a team of two to 10 people.

It could be co-workers, family, friends.

"And they compete with other teams throughout the state to see who can lose the most weight or log the most miles over the four month program,"

says Jewel.

Teams can register on-line at www.lightenupvirginia.org. The sign-up deadline is next Monday, February 6.
