What is GAME ON?
Hi everyone and welcome to Game On!
Game On! is a fun and empowering way to take control of your life and meet your weight loss and wellness goals.
Our seventh Game ended on August 15, 2011. In 8 weeks, 16 participants lost 95.5 lbs, keeping in mind that three participants did not have a weight loss goal and one participant switched to a non-weight-loss goal later in the Game.
The $380 prize kitty was awarded as follows:
The Biggest Overall Loser (weight loss) : Nancy Pripstein, who lost 29 Lbs
The Rookie Biggest Overall Loser (weight loss) : Nancy Pripstein 29 lbs
Top Scorer Weight Loss Goal : Sheri O'Donnell 17.2 lbs
Nancy and Sheri both have a testimonial on the testimonials page in this website.
I participated in five games, and I am proud to say you can teach an old dog new tricks. I've lost over 20 lbs playing the game and kept them off.
Even my husband, Rod, lost over 30 pounds playing the Game.

Quite simply, Game On! is a team based program that asks you to eat 5 small meals a day (protein, carb and healthy fat), drink lots of water, exercise a minimum of 20 minutes a day six days a week, get at least 7 hours of sleep a day, get rid of a bad habit and work on a new good habit, and communicate with your team. Check out this website for more details.
There's no gimmicks here-- just healthy eating and healthy living.
Points are awarded for doing the right thing-- where else can you get points for sleeping?
Sure there are lots of rules-- without rules there is chaos! But guess what? you get one meal off and one day off a week from the rules. In addition, you get to have 100 calories a day of whatever you want. There truly is no sense of deprivation. The Game teaches you to make indulgence the exception and not the rule!
Exceptions can be made on some of the rules-- can't get 7 hours of sleep because of your work schedule we can work something out-- we have had many nurses and shift workers play the game with phenomenal results.
The rules are overwhelming? Can't eat 5 times a day, can't drink that much water, can't do without sugar? Don't let that stop you. Take baby steps and work towards complying with all the rules. It's not all or nothing. We have had Gamers with not so great scores get fantastic results.
You can also have a fitness or wellness goal-- increase strength or flexibility, train to walk or run a 5k, etc. These goals and the requirements that must be done each week to earn bonus points for meeting goal must be approved by me. In addition, those with goals other than weight loss must not weigh more than 2 lbs over their start weight to earn bonus points.
You weigh yourself on your own scale, fill out your own scorecard and email it in-- we have had people go on vacations, people who travel constantly for their jobs, and people who live in other states play the Game with great success.
The Game is fun, motivating and empowering.
The cost? only $65 for new Gamers and $50 for returning Gamers or new Gamers who are getting their own book.
$20 out of each registration fee goes into the prize kitty-- if we had 50 participants the prize would be $1000!
The time is now-- the next Game starts Monday, October 3, 2011, and ends Monday,
November 28, 2011. WHO WOULDN'T LIKE TO LOSE 8-16 LBS IN 8 WEEKS?
What do you have to do to start? Register, get psyched and organized for the week, and weigh yourself on your own scale Monday October 3rd-- no mandatory weigh-ins at the club or mandatory meetings.
NEW FORMAT FOR THE GAME STARTING October 3, 2011:
Everyone will be on the same team-- TEAM SYNERGY
I am the coach (of course). I will play the Game but will not be eligible to win prizes.
All scores will be submitted to me. I am the scorekeeper.
Some people did not like being inundated with emails (under the old rules, you had to communicate with one person on your team and one person on an opposing team everyday). With all those partcipants hitting reply all, that was a lot of emails.
NEW COMMUNICATION RULES:
You will be awarded full communication points if you post to the Game On Blog on this website once during the week.
For those who like the hearing from Gamers on a daily basis, I will also send out a Team Roster with emails. If you don't like the volume of emails, let me know and I will tell the Team to remove you from the email loop.
The Prize Kitty will be awarded as follow:
~Top Scorer Weight Loss Goal
~Top Scorer Fitness Goal (Only if the Score is Equal to or Greater than the score of the Top Scorer Weight Loss Goal)
~The Biggest Overall Loser (weight loss)
In theory, there will be 2 or 3 prizes awarded equally. In the event of ties in any category, all participants with the same winning score or weight loss total will be awarded a share of the prize kitty. A participant can win a prize in more than one category.
Sign up now, this will be a good one. Besides, we all know it is possible to get great results without great scores.
Every step towards a healthier lifestyle is a big one.
