Sound familiar?

Most people put on weight from Halloween to New Year's, then spend the next six months trying to lose it. Here's why the cycle keeps repeating.

The scale lies to you

You eat right and train hard, but the number barely moves. Or it drops, and you can't tell if you lost fat, water or muscle.

The Halloween-to-New-Year's slide

Candy, parties, travel and holiday dinners stack up week after week. Without a plan, the pounds sneak on before you notice.

You can't fix what you can't see

Visceral fat around your organs doesn't show in the mirror, but it matters for your long-term health.

Six months to undo ten weeks

January diets and fad plans leave you spending half the year just getting back to where you were in October.

HALLOWEEN → NEW YEAR'S

Your holiday game plan for an excellent 2027

The contest runs right through the holiday season on purpose. Instead of starting January ten pounds behind, you'll finish the year leaner and walk into 2027 with momentum. Every week we'll send you:

Weekly challenges

A new challenge every week, from Halloween candy to holiday parties to New Year's Eve, so you stay active and on plan when it's hardest.

Weekly tips & tricks

Practical strategies for holiday meals, travel, office parties and treats, so you can enjoy the season without gaining weight.

Weekly check-ins

Step on your DEXA+ Body Fat Scale each week and log it in the app. Seeing your numbers keeps you accountable all the way to your final scan.

Why this contest is different

Real results, measured by the gold standard, with accountability built in.

Judged by DEXA

A DEXA scan measures body fat, lean muscle and bone, region by region. No mirror selfies and no subjective judging.

Built-in accountability

Weekly check-ins on your DEXA+ Body Fat Scale, plus weekly challenges and tips, keep you on track through every holiday party and family dinner.

You win even if you don't win

Everyone leaves with two DEXA scans, a smart scale and a free red light eye mask.

A fair fight

Separate men's and women's divisions. The biggest drop in body fat percentage wins, rewarding real fat loss, not crash dieting.

Frequently asked questions

What support do I get during the holidays?

Every week from your baseline scan to your final scan you'll get a new weekly challenge plus tips and tricks for getting through Halloween, Thanksgiving, holiday parties and New Year's without gaining weight.

How is the winner decided?

By the largest drop in total body fat percentage from your baseline DEXA scan to your final DEXA scan, in each division. Ties go to whoever kept or gained the most lean muscle.

Do I have to use a specific DEXA location?

No. Choose any participating DEXASCAN.COM location. We strongly recommend using the same facility for both scans.

What if I miss a weekly check-in?

Weekly check-ins are required to be eligible to win, so set a reminder for Sunday night. Check-ins are due by 11:59 p.m. ET each Sunday. See the Official Rules for details.

What if I can't finish the contest?

Life happens. If you drop out or don't complete your final scan, any DEXA scan you bought on DEXASCAN.COM and didn't use becomes a voucher for one scan at the same location, good for one year from your purchase date. Vouchers aren't refundable or transferable. Your scale and app access are yours to keep. See Section 2.8 of the Official Rules for details.

Is it safe?

This contest rewards healthy, sustainable change. Talk to your doctor before starting a new diet or exercise program. Extreme or unsafe methods can lead to disqualification.

Who can enter?

U.S. residents 18 and older. The contest is void where prohibited or restricted by law; see the Official Rules for full eligibility details.

When do I get my scale and eye mask?

We ship them after you register so you can start weekly check-ins right after your baseline scan.

Start 2027 ahead, not six months behind.

Get through the holidays with weekly challenges, tips and check-ins, and finish the year leaner. Registration closes November 1, 2026.
