Paynesville Area Health Care System will be starting a new session of its weight loss program entitled "Lifesteps." This program includes 14 weekly sessions led by a registered dietitian.
"Lifesteps" is a comprehensive weight management program which stresses the importance of diet, physical activity and behavior modification techniques in a weekly group setting. Participants will learn to lose weight safely at one to two pounds per week. It is geared toward people 10-75 pounds overweight. Groups will be limited to 15 people. Following the 14 weeks of group sessions, there is a 60-day maintenance program with biweekly weigh in and maintenance information.
A free informational meeting to explain the program was held on Tuesday, Sept. 26, 7 p.m. at Paynesville Area Hospital in the Blakely Room. If you would still like to participate in this program, please call Sue Hecht, R.D., 320-243-7713.
