Are you a ‘4 for $40’ failure? Don’t be discouraged! Just join the next round!
The first round of HISD’s new “4 for $40” weight-loss challenge ended on March 5, but if you didn’t quite drop the pounds you were hoping to, don’t be discouraged.
There are still plenty of opportunities to earn incentives through this competition— including at least one that doesn’t require losing weight! For instance, everyone who weighed in and out for the first month of the contest will automatically be entered into a drawing, and five lucky winners will be selected to receive a FitBit in April.
In addition, every team that reached its collective goal (of losing at least four pounds each) will be entered into a drawing to receive free iPads (one for each member!).
Perhaps the best news is that it’s not too late to receive incentives for staying on track, even if you missed your official “weigh-out” for the first month. There are still three months left in the contest, so just keep going, and if you tip the scales at eight pounds less than you did when you first stepped on it at the initial weigh-in, you’ll be eligible to receive the second ‘4 for $40’ incentive.
About 5,500 employees are participating in the weight-loss challenge. The first pay-out is expected to appear in eligible employees’ paychecks by April.
