Start a WorkHealthy™ Contest

The office is often a place where people end-up gaining weight. What with all the sitting around all day, snacking at your desk, office parties, ordering food as a group, and the baked goodies co-workers bring in, it's no wonder extra pounds start to creep onto the scale. So instead of getting bigger at your job, lose weight together by starting a “Biggest Loser-style” competition in your office. Keep in mind that it doesn't matter how many pounds you lose — it's the percentage of weight you lose as compared to your body weight. Although it is a competition, you can encourage each other to eat healthier by having office potlucks and ditching the 3 p.m. runs to the snack machine. You can also motivate each other to work out by exercising at the office or hitting the gym together on your lunch break.

How to Start a "Biggest Loser" Competition at Your Facility
• Choose a starting date where everyone gets weighed. Record the numbers on a chart (post it or have a responsible person hold onto it).
• Then choose to do weekly weigh-ins or just do one big weigh-in on the last day.
• Choose an end date. Make the competition for a short amount of time — two to four months long in order to see some real progress.
• Then of course, figure out what the “Biggest Loser” will win. Everyone can put in $10 to $20 and the winner receives the grand total, or you can wager something, like everyone chips in to get the winner a massage or lunch out at their favorite healthy restaurant.
• Track-it! Our Digi-Day® Scoreboards are an excellent way to track the amount of pounds lost!

A little healthy competition can be just the thing to help you ditch your old habits, and even if you don't win, you'll feel good knowing you're getting healthier.
