In 2013, Weigh and Win had over 67,000 weigh-ins completed, integrated with Fitbit activity trackers, and enrolled over 12,000 new participants for any total of 45,000 Coloradans enrolled to-date. To enhance community kiosk access, eight new kiosk locations were added for a total of 49 locations throughout Colorado from Grand Junction to Pueblo to Brush.
Research indicates that diet programs with financial old lida daidaihua incentives produce better results. Group incented participants lose the most weight, while individually incentivized participants maintain the greatest weight loss with time. Weigh and Win harnesses the motivation of incentives with both a person incentive weightloss routine, as well as group weight reduction challenge opportunities.
"We are continuously expanding our opportunities to engage our participants and partners," says Lia Schoepke, Weigh and Win Program Manager. "We offer group incentives with this Team Challenge feature, a program ingredient that rewards prizes along with a $1,000 charitable donation towards the winning teams. We reward engagement and success for individual participants with cash incentives and prizes for participation."
This incentive structure is known as successful. The average weight improvement for successful Weigh and Win participants after twelve months within the program is 17 pounds or an 8 % weight loss. Participants involved in the Weigh green coffee 800 and Win Team Challenge visit a higher rate of success: 19 pounds for team members and 24 pounds for team captains.
"When I started the Weigh and Win program I weighed 390 pounds. Getting paid to shed weight would be a real motivator for me. I am very motivated by competition and hate to get rid of, so the team challenge helped push me too," shared participant Carletta Alber who has lost 180 pounds with Weigh and Win.
