This New Year, are you looking for a way to lose weight in a healthful and sustainable manner? Are you tired of starting diets that don’t work and leave you feeling deprived? If so, take advantage of The Duke Getting on Track Weight Loss Program and the 10 percent discount for all Duke employees.

The 8-week weight loss program focuses on the mental and physical components of lifestyle change that will help you find a life long healthy weight. You will participate in seven interactive classes taught by a dietitian, exercise physiologist and licensed counselor. Each class includes a healthy dinner. Additionally, each participant is given individual prescriptions for their nutritional needs and exercise intensity needs based off of your specific requirements. The last session is a group meeting where the skills and knowledge you acquired are applied and discussed.

After completing the program, you may continue to participate in the group support sessions with Staying on Track‚ to further understand your personal journey.

The program meets on Thursday nights from 6:15-8 p.m. and the next session starts Feb. 18.

Register by Feb. 11. Space is limited. To register, contact Kara Mitchell at 660-6818 or mitch068@mc.duke.edu.
