Same with my company. They also offer a cash incentive for stopping smoking.

Good for you Now_Rudi !

I've done something similar in the past, but getting bitter in my older age has got the best of me as most people don't do what you tell them.

But one thing I did was these monthly "Health Breaks". Once a month, just a quick meeting on a nutrition or exercise point and let people ask questions. You'd be surprised at how often people misinterpret things and have it wrong.

Then we would have competitions every 3 months....total lbs lost, most total steps over a period of time, best gym accountability, etc.

Those who participated and won would get a visa gift card and we would pay out 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.
