[CyberTOPS] Fw: question on incentives

[Jo Yewchyn]

Hi Linda,

This is what our chapter does.  We all bring in a healthily food and put it 
in a basket.  The loser of the week gets to take the goodies home.  During 
roll call we have a wrapped gift that we pass around and if you have any 
kind of a loss or a turtle you get to take a layer off.  The one that takes 
off the last layer gets to take the gift home.  Example:  if you lost 1.5 
pounds you get to take off two layers and then pass it to the next person 
and if they lost .25 pounds they get to take off one layer.  If you have a 
turtle then you take off one layer and then pass it.  So the more pounds 
that you have lost the more layers you can take off.  If there is still 
layer left after your roll call, you keep passing the gift until all of the 
layers are gone.  To save costs we ask every member to bring in wrapped 
gifts that you can get from the dollar store.  I wrap my gifts in layers of 
newspaper.  This is a fun thing to do and this way everyone gets a chance to 
win the roll call gift if you have lost or turtled.

I hope this gives you a new idea to try.
