Weight Management

You’re incredible!

You’ve got what it takes. You can lose weight and keep it off. We see it all the time.

A healthy weight not only improves self-esteem, it can help control high blood pressure, manage cholesterol and diabetes, and reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease. As weight is lost, there is less strain on the back, knees and ankles, and pain is reduced.

Live It Together

This weekly virtual support group connects you with others who are engaged in their weight loss journey, provides ongoing education, and serves as a peer group where you can share your successes and challenges. It includes interactive tools for you to engage as a group from anywhere.

This weekly group is intended for those who are engaged in the process of positive lifestyle changes and creating a world of wellness around them. The groups are offered several times weekly with a cost of $40 for four weeks. Classes are held online and require access to a computer or smart device and internet.
