Classes

Laughing Off the Weight

This class will be for a total of nine weeks.  The first week is orientation night and is completely FREE with no obligation to sign up.  We will go over any questions you may think of and have you complete a full nutrition and body assessment.  The next eight weeks will cover many topics such as:

  • Setting Achievable Goals
  • Attack the Fat
  • Becoming More Active
  • Portion Sizes
  • Healthy Eating
  • Calories In vs. Calories Out
  • Talking Back to Negative Thoughts
  • Protein vs. Carbohydrates vs. Fiber
  • Eating Out
  • Keeping the Weight Off

At orientation night the confidential full body assessment will include measurements in the hips and waist, blood pressure, resting heart rate, weight, height, body mass index and body fat percentage.  You will weigh each week but only complete the full body assessment for a second time at the end of the program.  Registered Dietitians will figure up your calorie needs to lose 1 -2 pounds of body fat each week based off your nutrition assessment.  Recipes will also be given to you on a weekly basis.  Once you become a member of the “Nut Club” you will have access to online journals and the curriculum.  We not only want to you to be successful at weight loss but we want you to have fun while doing it.  There will fun skits, videos, fun atmosphere and an easy to follow curriculum that will assure you of having a great time.

The classes are taught by people who have been on the same weight roller coaster you are on and a Registered Dietitian.  It doesn’t matter if you have been trying to lose weight your entire life, have those last few pounds to lose, want to gain muscle or just learn to live a healthier lifestyle – this class would be beneficial to you and your family’s health.
