Brookdale senior living, one of the nation’s largest owner and operator of senior living communities, has proposed a wellness plan—The Brookdale Weigh. Employees are encouraged to shed excess weight and track their results with follow-up weigh-in sessions (much like the television competition “The Biggest Loser”).
Apparently, the company participants are off to a good start: After weigh-in number five on June 8 (10 weeks after the start of the challenge began on March 30) the company lost a whopping 27,630 pounds. Other statistics include:
Milwaukee office: 1,165 pounds lost (4.15%)
Nashville office: 425 pounds lost (2.60%)
Chicago office: 90 pounds lost (2.69%)
The final weigh-in revealed the Milwaukee office lost 1,292 pounds (4.85%)!
Perhaps the buddy system is indeed an effective weight loss method.
