The Centennial Experience

 

 


Congratulations on reaching some or all of your weight loss goals! It’s a great foundation that will help you for the rest of your life.

So, what are you going to do now? You probably have more questions than answers. Is it OK to stop tracking calories every day? How much more can you eat? Can you cut back on exercise? How often should you weigh yourself? How do you know if you’ve really made the kind of “lifestyle change” that will make your weight loss permanent? And most importantly, what does it really take to maintain your weight loss?

Coming up with the right answers—for you—to these and related questions is not always easy. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and what works in one set of circumstances may change as circumstances change. To give yourself the best chance of keeping the weight off for good, you’ll need to continue to access our services at the Center. The multi-disciplinary aftercare program provided to you is second to none; however, it is only as good as you accessing it. Make arrangements today to attend one of the group follow up sessions held every Tuesday at 11:00 (please arrive by 10:30 to allow time to update your paperwork and have your labs drawn if needed.) 

What if you've not met your goals? Do you need to set your goals or possibly revise them? Here's how!

DO create a plan (we can help you with this!) DON’T wait for "someday" to roll around. Setting the goal is just the first step. Know where you’re going, what resources you’ll need, who can help and – most importantly – what Plan B is when life throws a monkey wrench into Plan A.

DO start small. DON’T focus on too many things at once. Try focusing on one goal at a time. Use a small goal that you know you can do each day for the next two weeks, like not drinking with your meals or drinking eight cups of water. Build that first habit to boost your confidence and pick up speed.

DO write it down. DON’T forget to give yourself a deadline. Deadlines turn wishes into goals. The act of writing down your goal is powerful enough to keep you committed and focused. Better yet, find a visual that represents your goal or how your life will be different. Seeing it makes it seem more possible.

Attend the Back on Track support group led by Dr. Janice Livengood. This group meets the 3rd Monday of each month at 6 PM in our classroom. 
 

 

Top 10 Ways to Put More Steps in Your Day

2. After eating lunch, walk for the balance of your break.
3. Go to a colleague's workstation to deliver a message instead of sending an e-mail.
4. Use stairs instead of escalators in shopping malls.
5. Park farther away from a building entrance and walk to it.
6. When doing your shortest errand each day, walk instead of driving.
7. When doing laundry, make more trips by carrying one load at a time up and down the stairs.
8. Walk the dog.
9. Take your child for a stroll.
