2009 Weight Control Club
Together, We Can…
Move to Improve
Our Health

Concept
• The average American adult gains 1 – 2 pounds every year
• Most Americans state they would like to lose weight– If Henry Ford employees gained no weight in 2009, as a
company, we would weigh 10 tons less at the end of the year (22,000 X 1)
– Conversely, if we do ‘nothing’, HFHS will weigh at least 10 tons more by December 31, 2009!
• People are far more successful when: – You publicly state your goals
AND – You have a social support group
• We spend 8+ hours, 5 days a week with our colleagues who share our same desire to be healthier…

HR - Let’s Move to Improve in 09!
• Create a “No Gain” weight control club in your department– Two goals:1st goal - don’t gain any weight in 20092nd goal – privately document your goal weight for the
end of 2009 (which will remain confidential)
• Each month, chart your progress for the two goals on a chart:1st goal - chart success of no weight gain2nd goal - document progress toward goal
weight (amount to remain private)

Getting Started
1. Post the 2009 No Gain Tracking Form and the Personal Weight Tracking Form on your department’s shared site.
2. Invite co-workers in your department to:• Sign up on the 2009 No Gain Tracking form• Post a “Smile” or “Frown” to indicate success/disappointment in
meeting goal weight each month (No weight amounts will be discussed, only month to month 'joy' or 'disappointment‘)
• Save the Personal Weight Tracking form to their home drive for personal tracking of their weight goal.
• Identify a "wellness buddy", to share accountability for tracking, eating and exercise habits
3. Notify the Move to Improve team of your department’s involvement by sending an email to [email protected]. This way we can support your efforts with various resources.
