The Be Colorado wellness program will be offering another Colorado Weigh class
on Wednesdays from May 9 - August 1 from noon - 12:45 p.m. on the Boulder
Campus. The class will be held at the Business School's, Koelbel Building,
Room S130. If you are interested, please sign up ASAP at
http://www.becolorado.org.
Colorado Weigh is a unique 12-week weight loss and long-term maintenance
program, taught by registered dietitians. It puts into practice the world
renowned research done at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in
the area of weight management. The class is intended for those who have at
least 5-10% of their starting weight to lose in order to achieve a healthy BMI
of less than 25. If you would like to calculate your BMI, you can do so by
going to http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi .
In 2011, Be Colorado sponsored and subsidized three Phase 1 Colorado Weigh
classes on the Anschutz Medical Campus. The class participants had an average
5.7% weight loss over the 12 weeks. Not only did participants lose weight, but
they also enjoyed the classes, giving them a rating of 4.7 out of 5 (with 5
being excellent).
Colorado Weigh is open to all University of Colorado employees. The cost for
the Phase 1 class is $240 for University of Colorado Health and Welfare Trust
plan participants and $295 for all others. This is a substantial discount from
the regular price of $349. In addition, Trust plan participants can receive a
$100 rebate for meeting attendance and logging goals. Trust plans include:
UANet, Lumenos, HMO Colorado, Medicare Primary and Kaiser (for CU employees on
Kaiser, only exempt employees qualify for the rebate). The class is paid
through payroll deduction in the amount of $50 per month, until the class is
paid in full.
To sign up for this class, go to http://www.becolorado.org. Look for the Colorado
Weigh box on the homepage and click on the Register Today button.
