    People are motivated in many ways. THIS IS A GREAT IDEA and you should keep on keeping on with it. What could be negative about providing motivation for people to explore a healthier lifestyle? No more attention towards the nay sayers.

    Anywho, it might be fun to track miles. So for instance get out a map of the US and let people "walk" or "run" to different states by logging steps. I hope this makes sense to you. It was a lot of fun. We went from the east coast to the west and back in an adjusted step situation. It was a lot of fun.

    Sounds like plenty already- well thought out and lots to keep the motivation going. I think anything more might just be overkill.

    We have had the best results already! Some have lost 30+ pounds, others 18 and 16, 10 and 5, etc. People are getting healthy, informed, and happier :) So great

    I signed up for this very thing at a prior job years ago and it was terrible. Nothing like co-workers watching each others' every move. It was distracting and not helpful at all. I hope your office atmosphere does not devolve like mine did...

    Nope! It's brought so much cross departmental cohesion, excellent morale, and has been straight up fun!

    I would change it off biggest loser and have evryone who loses weight gets a raffle ticket. Everyone who goes to yoga class or nutrition class gets a raffle entry ect. Tie more to healthy behaviors and less to % weight loss.
