Sioux Falls Kenworth 1

How do you know each other?
We are all co-workers at Sioux Falls Kenworth 
 
How did you choose your name?
Obviously the names came from our company name. We actually have three teams:
Sioux Falls Kenworth 1
Sioux Falls Kenworth 2
Sioux Falls Kenworth 3 
 
Why are you doing this?
Personally I thought this was a great opportunity to lose some weight and actually have some accountability. Trying to do it alone never works and this was just what I needed. I went to work with the idea of getting a few of the girls in the office to join me and long story short it turned into a company wide activity. We have three teams, 22 people, and many different things we have incorporated into the challenge to make it even more fun. We have healthy snack days, weekly incentives for the biggest loser, a weekly newsletter, and a final prize for the winning team out of the three. 
We've even recently acquired new vending machines which we have tried to stock with healthier alternatives to the usual junk food options.  
 
What is your goal? Do you have a strategy to meet your goal?
Our goal is to not only help everyone shed some pounds we want to give people the tools to change their lifestyle when it comes to food choices and activity levels. The healthy snack days show people that something can taste good and be good for you. The weekly weigh in which we do here at work gives us the opportunity to commend people on their loss or encourage them if they didn't quite get there yet. The prizes and teams offer a fun competitive atmosphere to keep everyone motivated. Overall it has been a great time and people have gotten to know each other throughout the different departments.
