Hey there! Just wanted to ask if you all are still meeting this month on the 27th? I know the Christmas holiday made the schedules change a bit, but was hoping to add it to my calendar. Thanks!

Topic: New Journey to Healthy Living Program @ Franklin YMCA
Hello everyone,
I am going to be facilitating a few groups of individuals that wish to make a change toward a healthy lifestyle. This will be an eight week program that will be sponsered by Restore Ministries of the YMCA at no charge. It is for folks that are diagnosed with Diabetes, struggle with Obesity, and those that are simply at risk for them.
During the duration of the eight weeks your time will include:
1. Full access to the Franklin Family YMCA and all classes.
2. Weekly meetings with a community of people that share in the same goals.
3. Access to an RD, Personal Trainers, and myself as the Restore facilitator.
4. Accountabiity, education, and help with spiritual and physical growth.
To participate, all you need to do is have approval from your provider. There is a form you will need to have signed, and that is all we need. If you are interested, please send me an email, and I will email you the form you will need to take to your provider.
These groups are set to begin in February. Once we get a date determined, I will send out an FYI to all those that express interest.
My email: [email protected]
To Good Health!

Is this class for people who have had weight loss surgery or people who have lost weight by other means to?

One of my co-workers had a revision from Lapband to VSG about 3 months ago. She had it done at Centennial Hospital, but I forget which doctor. She recovered nicely and is doing really great with weight loss. Perhaps she will see this post and comment... I don't think she checks into OH very often, though.

I wish I had seen this sooner. I ended up switching surgeon's because Williams would not do a LW DS'er but Dr. Boyce will. My DS is scheduled for 1/24 with Dr. Boyce and my BMI is 35.4. I refused to have a RNY!

You GO, Ashlea. Take it a day at a time. Don't expect HUGE results really fast. Instead, set small goals (not all number goals)... to walk x/wk, to eat in moderation, eat protein! stay away from lots of carbs - they're addictive & draw you away from healthier foods. If you're a "sweet tea" drinker, start sweetening w/ Splenda or sweet-n-low. You won't believe how much this ONE thing will help. If you drink cokes, move to diet, or stop all together (not necessarily cold turkey, but start limiting them, taper down, and then be done!) So many people consume 1/2 as many calories in their drinks, as they do in their foods! They'll watch what they eat, but drink huge amounts of cokes and sweet tea.
