FAQ's and Details

Smartest Loser Program

Q. Where/When will the weigh-ins occur?
A. Weigh-ins will be on Thursdays, with the initial weigh-in on March 2 and the final weigh-in on May 11. Weigh-ins will occur from 8 – 11:30 am in Manayunk room (4th floor, #474).

Q. Why do I have to get weighed and have my body fat measured at the weigh-ins?
A. This is a way to provide an accountable/measurable item to help us all get healthier. It also provides extra motivation to stay committed to the Smartest Loser. Your weight and body fat is taken into consideration to determine your weekly points. If you choose to participate, please be assured that your weekly weight and body fat is confidential – only you and the Smartest Loser reps will know these details.

Q. What if I don’t want to do the weigh-ins, but I do want to participate?
A. You are more than welcome to complete your own program during the time frame of the Smartest Loser. We can also provide you with the Smartest Loser Booklet if you’d like a guideline. And you’re welcome to join us on our Monday Lunchtime Walks. However, you will be ineligible to receive any of the rewards/prizes, and attend any of the Smartest Loser sessions.

Q. How do I get weighed in if I’m travelling or taking PTO?
A. If you are away for the initial (3/2) and final (5/11) weigh-ins, please email smartestloser@emoneyadvisor.com to schedule a separate weigh-in session. If you are away for any other weigh-ins, please email us with either of the following options: 1) You will be using the previous week's measurements, OR 2) You can weigh yourself at home and email us the results. If you are able to measure your body fat %, you can provide us with that info, too. Otherwise,we will use the previous week's body fat measurement.

Q. What happens if I miss a weigh-in and/or I don’t submit the weekly Smartest Loser Online Tracker?
A. Remember that all prizes, rewards, and sessions are available to participants committed to the Smartest Loser program, which includes the weigh-ins and the Online Tracker. So, if you miss either or both of those things, you will no longer be eligible for the remaining prizes, rewards, and sessions. There are time frames, deadlines, and rules so that the program is fair to all and runs smoothly. If there are circumstances beyond your control that would prevent you from weighing in and/or submitting the Online Tracker during the designated times, please notify us via email smartestloser@emoneyadvisor.com as soon as possible. We will work with you as best we can.
