N-Lighten Nebraska is a team wellness program conducted by the Nebraska Sports Council. This three-month endeavor (February 1-May 1) encourages Nebraskans to develop sustainable healthy physical activity and eating habits. The unique team format encourages teammates to work together toward the common goal of living healthier lives.

Nebraskans are encouraged to form teams of up to 10 people and get N-Lightened! Entry fee is $20 per person or $15 per person for online entries.

Recognize Achievment

1. Weight Loss

Each member of the team submits an "honor" weight online or to the team captain. Captains total the team weight, complete the team entry form and submit it. "Honor" weigh-ins will be repeated in March (midway point) and May (final). Winning teams are those that lose the highest percentage of weight over the three-month program.

2. Accumulated Activity

Teams track miles based on activity performed (see the Activity Tracker). Winning teams are those that average the most points per person over the three-month program. Captains may report total team points or team members may report their individual points online. Youth 18 & Under will also have an opportunity to take part, by joining the N-Lighten Kids program.
