Competition drives weight loss in Game On Diet

A popular fitness plan uses friendly competition to encourage groups of friends to lose weight.

The Game On Diet was developed by the head writer of the TV show "Grey's Anatomy," along with a fitness expert. A group of employees at Charlestown Middle School said the competition has given them the motivation to get in shape.

The group competes for prizes including pedicures and dinner cruises on Lake Sunapee. Those with the most points win, and those who lose the competitions pay for the prizes.

"And we happen to have a really competitive group and we don't like to lose, so the very first prize we competed for with the three of us was a pedicure," said Principal Paula Southard-Stevens.

The Game On competition in Charlestown started with three school staffers in December.

"People are feeling better about themselves," Southard-Stevens said. "They're fitting into clothes they haven't worn in years."

The success led to nearly a dozen staff members joining the game, making up three teams. In less than five months, they have lost more than 200 pounds collectively.

"You can have 100 calories of whatever you choose, except for alcohol or diet sodas, so if you really want 100 calories worth of ice cream a day, you can," said school nurse Karla Chaffee. "As far red wine goes, I guess you have to wait until your day off."

"Grey's Anatomy" writer Krista Vernoff developed the Game On diet with fitness expert Az Ferguson.
