So I think in the past I discussed weigh-ins at work... before your jaw hits the floor and you are thinking, 'what?! you have to weigh in at work????!!!!', this is completely voluntary. The hospital did a team up to weigh down challenge for three months (Jan - April) this year as incentive to encourage people to get healthy. The department I work in decided we would all do this together. So, out of 54 teams, our department came in 10th, losing 3.5% of our overall weight! How exciting is that? During the challenge I lost a total of 18 pounds so I feel like I made my contribution to the team effort. :)
Well many of us felt like we had 'fallen off the wagon' and the hospital continued with monthly weigh ins. The hospital has it so that you can get 'wellness points' if you lose weight from weigh in to weigh in. How great is that? The points are then used for reductions in the cost of your health insurance. I think you would be silly not to participate. I weighed in today at 182. I'm happy with that because last month I was at 184.4 so good progress in the right direction.
