Rewarding people for achieving and maintaining a healthy weight

A new program in metro-Denver is rewarding people with cash incentives for achieving healthier lifestyles. “Weigh and Win” is the nation’s first community-wide program offering cash rewards and prizes to individuals who achieve or maintain a healthy weight.

Weigh and Win is available for free to all Coloradans ages 18 and over. Individuals who sign up for the program participate in quarterly photographed weigh-ins at kiosks stationed conveniently throughout the Denver-metro area and receive cash incentives for positive results. Participants will have access to a variety of online coaching tools to help them reach their goals.

“The Weigh and Win partnership is to be applauded for finding ways to encourage people to make healthier choices,” said Chris Urbina, executive director and chief medical officer for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. “We appreciate partners like Kaiser Permanente and our many community partners who help people achieve healthier lifestyles through better nutrition and increased physical activity.”

How it works

Individuals can sign up online at www.weighandwin.com.
After filling out the enrollment information, participants must then visit one of six Weigh and Win kiosks located throughout the Denver-metro area, where they will have their initial weight recorded and a photo taken.

An individual’s progress is measured and tracked through quarterly weigh-ins at these kiosks, and success is rewarded quarterly through debit cards according to percentage of weight lost. Participants who maintain a healthy weight are eligible for a variety of prizes and coupons.

“Weigh and Win” is a partnership between Kaiser Permanente Colorado and incentaHEALTH, a local health technology company.
