SEYMOUR JOHNSON AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. --  Need some motivation to drop a few pounds? Contact your unit fitness program manager and join other members of the 916th Air Refueling Wing in the Tanker Weight Loss Challenge.

The challenge runs through the December unit training assembly weekend. The organizers hope participants will collectively lose at least 916 pounds by the end of 2013.

Operations Group Superintendent Senior Master Sgt. Lorraine Benn is heading up the challenge.

"Overall this goes beyond just a test," said Benn. "Our goal is to promote health, longevity and an active healthy lifestyle now and when you retire."
