Monday Medical: Weigh and Win rewards health

By Christine McKelvie / For the Steamboat Today Sunday, July 1, 2012

If you are planning to lose weight this year, LiveWell Northwest Colorado has an amazing deal for you. The Weigh and Win program is free, fast and easy. Plus, it actually pays you to lose weight.

That might sound too good to be true, but Barb Parnell, community coordinator of LiveWell Northwest Colorado, explains that it is for real.

LiveWell Northwest Colorados mission is to reduce obesity in Routt County by introducing healthy eating and active living choices and empowering residents to select them, Parnell said.

Weigh and Win is a free program that will help you to incorporate healthy eating and active living into your daily routine.

This online program provides cash rewards to individuals who continue to lose weight until they have achieved a healthy body mass index. People who already have a healthy BMI can benefit by setting fitness and nutrition goals and receiving coaching.

We are fortunate to bring Weigh and Win to the region to help our community be aware of BMI, to understand the implications of unhealthy BMI and to provide resources for those who desire to make lifestyle changes to improve BMI, Parnell said.

The sign-in process may be done at http://www.weighandwin.com, but you must go to a Weigh and Win kiosk to complete enrollment. Starting today and continuing through July 31, the kiosk will be located at Yampa Valley Medical Center.

The kiosk will be near the main lobby, in the hall outside our Community Health Resource Center and across from SportsMed, YVMC Wellness Director Lisa Bankard said. Look for a kiosk and scale located behind a bright-colored banner, which serves as a privacy screen.

Yes, weighing in is required if you want to take advantage of the incentives. The scale will measure an accurate weight and your photo will be taken. The process should take about one minute. You then will receive an email prompting you to enroll in Weigh and Win and identify your health goals.
