Losing weight: Everyone seems to be running behind the concept of losing some extra pounds from their body which helps to maintain an ideal physical fitness. Here we got a different program for losing weight named as "Weight and Win" I was just wondering about this program and its results.

Hi Andrew. Based on recent data we received from Weigh and Win, there are over 25,000 Coloradans enrolled in the program and the average weight improvement has been about 8% over the last year.

The only credit anyone should receive is reduced insurance rate commensurate with the reduced risk due to their lost weight.

These promotions are discriminitory agaainst those of us who maintain a healthy weight on our own. Kaiser should give us some credit for our initiative.
