It is hot outside and I am sure you want to feel and look hot too! I know this is a racy comment, but on the series note if you are in search of a program to help you think about your body in a real way instead of how the media wants you to think, then look no further! The Monroe County Cooperative Extension Service is offering the Weight the Reality Series again this Summer! In the Spring, the group of participants lost a total of 140.4 pounds in eight short weeks.
Weight ~ The Reality Series is an 10-week series we will
offer on Tuesdays July 23-September 24. If you were in the last group, come
back because I’ll be presenting new information! For new participants we will
explore an aspect of weight control through healthy eating and living, share
healthy recipes and ideas, weigh in, and engage in learning about the human
body. Based on the latest research, this program gives you more options to
create a plan that will work for you. Program participants will be encouraged
to try a variety of ways to eat differently, including counting carbohydrates,
controlling portions, and using a plate method. Whether you’re interested in
learning some new ways to eat and be active, or exploring how your clothes
influence the way you see your body, Weight ~ The Reality Series offers many
choices. There has to be a better way to achieve a healthy weight than the
latest fad diet! You’ll learn how to make your plan flexible and to keep it
working overtime.
Personally my goal is to be healthier and reduce my body
size. I have been on this journey for the last year and a half. My goal is to
lose about 15-20 more pounds and then maintain my loss. It is a lifestyle
change, not a diet. Therefore, if you want to reduce your body size like me,
then this series might be for you! Your concern might also be your health, but
you might also be thinking about looking better in clothes, having more energy,
enjoying new and favorite foods, being able to move more easily, and feeling
better about yourself. Whatever your case may be, consider joining us with our
new series called Weight ~ The Reality Series.
The series dates are July 23 ~ July 30~ August 6 ~ August 13
~ August 20 ~ August 27 ~ September 3 ~ September 10 ~ September 17 ~ September
24. The series is open to anyone and will be held at the Monroe County
Cooperative Extension Service. We will weigh-in each week from 4:30 p.m.—5:30
p.m. and then we will have a short program at 5:30 p.m. We are signing people up for the program Monday July 15 and Tuesday July 16 from 8:00-4:30 p.m.
If you divide $10.00 by the 10 weeks
that is just $1 each week! At the end of the 10-weeks the participant losing
the most percentage of weight will win 50% of the “money pot” for males and females.
The remaining 50% of the “money pot” will go towards costs associated with
running the program and for door prizes that will be given away throughout the
series each week. The winner will be announced on September 24.

Extension Service. Stop by today and register for this series. It is a better
