Just in time for the fall, registration opened Tuesday for a number of MHealthy health and well-being programs.
As extra motivation, participation in one or more qualifying programs between Sept. 1 and Oct. 31 also will earn an entry in the MHealthy Grand Prize Drawing. Six winners will receive $500 to use toward supporting their healthy behaviors.

“Fall can be a busy time, which makes staying on a healthy track challenging,” says Janice Gasaway, program lead for MHealthy. “Jumpstart your motivation by trying a new exercise class, learning a new recipe at a chef demo, or discovering a new approach to managing stress. Not only will you feel better but you could also be one of our big drawing winners.”
Benefits-eligible faculty and staff and their spouses or other qualified adults who are enrolled in a U-M health plan are eligible for the MHealthy Grand Prize Drawing. Participants can earn a drawing entry for each healthy activity.
Qualifying MHealthy (and partner) programs include:
• Active U Autumn 2015
• Alcohol management programs
• Chef demonstrations
• Dearborn Wellness Center exercise classes
• Learn to Live Tobacco Free: A Quit Tobacco Program
• MHealthy exercise and relaxation classes
• MHealthy nutrition consults
• MHealthy personalized exercise sessions
• MHealthy Stress management classes
• Weight Watchers (Traditional and At Work programs)
The Grand Prize Drawing takes place Nov. 10. Participants must enter the drawing by Nov. 2 on the StayWell Portal (accessible from the MHealthy site). Winners will be notified via email or phone.

I signed up for weight watchers two weeks ago will this qualify to earn me an entry? If so how do I go about entering?
Janice Gasaway
Yes, this would count if you are a benefits-eligible faculty or staff. Here is what you need to do:
1. Print off Weight Watcher’s Fall Drawing Form (on StayWell Portal or by emailing into MHealthy).
2. Register for a 12 week session (held at a UM At-Work location or within a qualifying community)
3. Attend at least 2 out of the 12 weekly meetings in September or October 2015 and have the instructor verify attendance on the form.
4. Once you have attended 2 sessions, fax the completed form to MHealthy at 734-998-0270 by October 23, 2015. Please make sure to include your email address.
5. MHealthy will then email you back (within 2 business days) with a drawing code. You will then enter this code on the StayWell Portal.
