​REIMAGINE WEIGHT LOSS

Your weight loss goals may be unique to you, but you don’t have to take the journey alone. Stay accountable and inspired with the YMCA’s Weight Loss Program, a 12-week course offering weekly small-group discussions and tools to help you establish personal goals, track progress and set yourself on the path to a healthier lifestyle.

Led by a trained facilitator who creates a safe and supportive environment for all, participants meet for one hour each week for 12 weeks. Our facilitators guide discussions on goal setting, balanced eating, physical activity, stress, mindfulness and more. Piloted at 27 YMCAs, 70% of participants lost weight during the program!

Participants joining the program should be ready to commit to:

• daily food & physical activity tracking
• developing self-designed weekly action plans 
• weekly private weigh-ins with the facilitator

This program helps participants build skills for successful lifestyle changes as opposed to advocating any specific or restrictive short-term solution.  

There are no gimmicks and no restrictive approaches – just the tools you need to make the necessary changes to achieve your wellness goals.  Our program provides helpful tips and strategies to incorporate nutrition and physical activity into your lifestyle while also addressing motivation, obstacles, and pitfalls that make losing weight (and keeping it off) such a challenge.
