GHP offers Real Appeal® − an Online Weight Loss Program

NTCA’s Group Health Program (GHP) medical plan benefits include Real Appeal, an online weight loss program proven to help eligible participants and family members ages 18 and older achieve lifelong results. Real Appeal uses small, sustainable steps to spark successful weight loss transformation. Enrolled participants:

  • Attend 26 weekly and six monthly online group sessions led by a coach to create health goals, track activity, and find new ways to keep moving. 
  • Learn to eat healthier, stay active, fit healthy choices into daily life, stay motivated and energized, and develop healthy habits for a lifestyle change. 
  • Have access to tools for goal setting and progress tracking.
  • Receive a Success Kit delivered by mail.

Research shows that members who attended four or more sessions of the Real Appeal program lost 10 pounds on average. Real Appeal is achievable, it’s convenient, and, best of all, it’s free. Plus, participants and their spouses enrolled in GHP Wellness Connections can earn the full annual wellness reward of $150 by completing nine sessions of the Real Appeal program by November 30. Visit the NTCA website for Real Appeal resources, including an employer guide, enrollment flyer, and email templates to educate employees about the program.
