Personalized weight counseling

     The Employee Wellness Center is offering "Healthy Weight,"
an individualized weight management program that incorporates
nutrition principles and an exercise component to reduce weight
and control it afterward.
     According to nutritionist and dietitian Marianne Carter, the
program is an outgrowth of the realization that everyone is
different and not everyone interested in losing weight does well
in a group setting.
     The program, currently in progress, consists of two one-on-
one visits with a registered dietitian, an orientation to the
Employee Fitness Center, a personalized exercise prescription and
one personal training session. The participant also will have
access to periodic, routine weight checks to monitor progress.
     Appointment times for fitness evaluation and nutrition
counseling are flexible and can usually fit into the employee's
schedule.
     Cost is $75, and Wellness Dollars can be applied to offset
the total cost, with the balance being paid in cash.
     For information or to sign up for the program, contact
Carter at 831-1109.
