Magic Formula? - Kim Weighs In

Is there a magic formula for weight loss? The media seems to think so. Usually if a product or plan sounds too good to be true, it probably is. We are so focused on losing weight and looking better we often forget about making lifelong healthy habits and give in to the easy fix. Most of us know we should exercise and eat right but for some reason we find ourselves eating a pint of ice cream or watching TV instead of going for a walk. What is the solution?

The magical formula is really finding what works for you and your lifestyle. If you have tried to form these healthy habits on your own and it’s not working, you may want to join a class or program that offers support or ask a friend or co-worker to be your exercise buddy.


We started our second week of Get Fit! and I heard a lot of laughter among the participants. They exercised for 80 minutes and everyone survived! The class was upbeat, fun and everyone worked hard. Just hearing laughter makes the environment comfortable for the participants.
