Biggest Loser Rules
1. The Conemaugh Valley School District School Health Council has decided to implement the Valley
Biggest Loser Challenge! Individuals may sign up by November 18 @ the after school in-service at
CVHS. Program begins Tuesday, November 30 with private weigh-ins in the High School Nurses
office. Cost is $20.00 for the 12 week challenge. Participants will receive a t-shirt, team support,
and the potential to win great prizes and adopt a healthier lifestyle! We will use a team approach
to implementing the program. Interested participants will have their name put onto a ticket, and
teams will be formed by drawing names out of the hat.
2. Prizes include:
Team Award – Awarded to the team with the biggest percent weight loss for entire team
combined
Biggest Loser Award - Awarded to the participant with the biggest percent weight loss
Biggest Change Award – Awarded to the person with the biggest change (visual, bmi, pounds lost,
lifestyle behavior) - VOTED ON BY PARTICIPANTS
3. The cost to participate in the Biggest Loser Challenge is $20 and must be paid by Friday, November
19, 2010. The Valley Biggest Loser Challenge is open to EVERYONE in our CV Family
(administration, teachers, staff, para-professionals, aides, nurses, custodians, food service
workers, school board members, cleaners, etc – the more the merrier!)
4. The Biggest Loser Challenge runs from November 30 – February 22, 2011.
5. Each individual will have their first weeks weigh in at the CVHS Nurses Office the night of the
informational session. If you cannot make the initial weigh in session please make time to come to the
Nurses office before November 30, 2010. If you cannot make it to the closing session please make
time to come to the Nurses office before February 22, 2011 to do your last weigh-in. If you have not had
your last weigh in by February 22, 2011 you will not be eligible for any of the awards.
6. Each week your team captain needs to report the weigh loss of each individual in your team. If you are only
doing the individual challenge and are not participating in the team challenge you will need to report your
own loss.
7. Please, only the team captain should report the team’s weight loss for the week. The team captain must
report pounds lost from each individual, NOT how much each team member weighs. Ex. On the “Mean
Green Team” Susie lost 4 pounds, Henry lost 5 pounds, John lost 1 pound.
8. Weight loss/gain needs to be reported to Joanne Peschock every Friday by 1:00 pm.
9. The preferred way to report your weight loss each week is through email. PLEASE email your results to
jpeschock@cvk12.org and put in the subject line BIGGEST LOSER.
10. There will be multiple classes and campaigns held during the biggest loser challenge. There is a schedule of
classes in you packet. Classes are optional to attend – but if you are interested, you must pre-register w/ Joanne
Peschock . Attendance at these classes is not mandatory, but great information will be covered that will aid in
your weight loss goals. On-site, instructor lead classes, one on one with a dietitian and numerous newsletter
campaigns about healthy eating will be implemented – TAKE ADVANTAGE – they are FREE because you have
Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance.
11. The last weigh in will be held at the nurses office during the Biggest Loser closing program ceremony
(February 22, 2010 at 3:10 pm at the High School). A FREE healthy luncheon will be provided for participants!
Awards will be given at this time. If you cannot make it to this event please make time to come to the Nurses
office before the closing program.
