Healthy Weight Support Group

Do you believe you can be healthy if you are overweight?

I believe I must first be at a healthy weight to truly be at optimal health so I can work on living a longer healthier life!

Tired of losing weight to gain more back later?

My wife and I were too, we have lost 164 pounds between us and I have kept my weight off for over 3 years so far.

I am convinced that our weight loss has saved my wife's life and extended mine. My wife had a stoke at 42 due to not managing morbid obesity. Today after improving her health she is riding horses (a long time dream) and skiing with me again!

It is not the easiest thing we have ever done and yet we have had great support and have learned how to support others to do the same.

It does not matter how you plan to lose weight or if you have lost your weight and just want support to keep it off you are welcome here!

We are talking about PERMANENT weight loss, we will be using great tools from Dr. A's Habits of Health.

As another tool to support PERMANENT weight loss we will be using Shrink Yourself which has great tools to support emotional eaters.

Finally to support PERMANENT weight loss we will be using Creating Your Life As Art to turn problems into opportunities to create something new.

Other Wellness activities we can engage in as a group: dancing, (contra, rock and roll, etc) mall walking, walking and hiking outside as the weather improves, skiing & snowboarding (I go during the week generally). What would you like to do?
