NutriSum is an easy-to-use online program that provides support and resources to help you lose or maintain weight. NutriSum is about the things you can do, not the things you have to give up. There's no tremendous sacrifice, endless calorie counting, or adding up fat grams for everything you eat.
NutriSum is about training yourself to move more and eat right for optimum health. The core elements of the program include:
- Exercising every day. Work your way up to 60 minutes or more.
- Changing eating patterns that contribute to weight gain. 5 easy-to-remember daily habits that position you for success
- Tracking daily progress. Record your weight, activity, and eating patterns every day.
Online registration for this program begins February 14, 2008. Once registered, you can set goals, form a team and invite friends to support you. The first 13 weeks of NutriSum helps you develop the habits you'll need for long-term weight control. You'll complete a brief survey at the end of 13 weeks and then may continue tracking your progress for an additional 39 weeks (1 year total).
If you have a friendly competitive spirit, make plans to participate in the NutriSum 13-week team competition March 3 - June 1, 2008. First, register for NutriSum as an individual, then recruit your team and invite them via email through the NutriSum online program. Deadline to register your team for the NutriSum team competition is Sunday, March 2, 2008. Winning teams from each entity will receive recognition in Making Rounds and a relaxing "Spa Treatment at Work" for all team members. Participation in the team competition is optional.
