Yesterday I blogged about an exciting new program called “Healthy Wage.” This program offers incentives to help you lose weight and get healthy.

In this program are five health challenges that members can choose from. One of them is the Biggest Loser Matchup, which was inspired by the hit NBC show, “The Biggest Loser.” This particular challenge invites teams of five people to compete for the most weight lost between May 15 and … Continue reading →

Did Biggest Loser Go Too Far?

Translation: Your favorite TV shows could be disappearing in the weeks to come if a settlement is not reached. According to leaders for the Writer’s Guild of America (WGA), a strike could happen as early as tomorrow if enough members decide NOT to work without a contract while a deal is being hammered out. WGA members’ contracts expired last night. Earlier in the day talks between the writers from your favorite television shows and show producers ended abruptly with both sides … Continue reading →
