It’s that time of year again! If you would like to join the annual Work It Off, Keep It Off competition, please weigh in with your branch wellness coordinator in-person or send them a photo of your toes on the scale showing your starting weight the week of January 17 – 21st.
The final weigh in will take place the week of August 8th – August 12th. And as always, prizes will be based on the percentage of weight lost.
Percentage Weight Loss Example:
Starting Weight: 200
Ending Weight 175
How to Calculate Percentage Lost: 1- (175/200) = 0.125 x 100 = 12.5%
PRIZES
$50 for 5% PRIZES
Any competitor who loses 5% or more of their total body weight will win $50 AND RECEIVE 10 WELLNESS POINTS!

Each grand prize winner has the ability to win an additional $1,000, paid out quarterly ($250/quarter), if you maintain or lose additional weight!!!
That’s right, just keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll continue to win even after the competition is over. All you have to do is weigh in quarterly with your branch coordinator for the next year. If you have maintain your weight loss, or lose additional weight, you will receive $250 quarterly for a calendar year. We know everyone has ups and downs. So if you are within 20% of the total number of pounds you lost during the challenge, we’re considering it a success and you win the prize money for that quarter. For example, if you lost 33 pounds during the challenge, during a quarterly weigh-in, you could gain up 6.6 pounds to still win the prize money (20% x 33 pounds = 6.6 pounds).
