Because family-related values and habits are tied into the way a person eats and exercises, permanent weight management is most successful when the whole family is involved.
Created exclusively for Health Matters by a registered dietitian, "The Weight is Over (for you and your Family)" will help participants to put the mechanics in place so that the whole family may develop positive lifestyle practices. Participants will learn how to select food, plan menus and increase daily activity. Receive recipes, grocery shopping tips and ideas for how to honor hunger and fullness cues. The weekly classes are offered via "Adobe Connect" webinar during the evening hours so that all family members may participate.
Family members may attend for no additional fee. The price of the class, which is $49, includes one pedometer for each family; additional pedometers are available for $11 each.
Classes will be held from 7 to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays from May 11 to July 13, via Adobe Connect. To register, visit http://www.ohr.psu.edu/HealthMatters online or call 814-865-3085.
