Lifesteps Weight Management Program

Sheila Rolling, MA, Exercise Physiologist began teaching Lifesteps in the Fall of 2001. She has completed 19 - 16 week sessions to date with over 200 people participating in the program.

The statistics remain fairly consistent with participants losing an average of 16 pounds, 4% body fat and 10 inches during the course of the 16-week program. Commitment, consistency and determination are key factors in an individual's success.

Follow-up Programs

Once you become a member of Lifesteps at Fit for Life, you can stay an active member as long as you want!

Maintenance Program

Once you've completed the 16 week program, you may choose to join the Lifesteps Maintenance Program. This involves 6 - 45 minute sessions held every 2 weeks in classroom form. Topics discussed in each session are based on the interest of those attending and may include label reading, meal planning, handling food cravings, blood pressure/cholesterol, deciphering fats, increasing metabolism, sharing low fat/low calorie recipes, benefits of positive affirmations or the will-power within.

This class meets every other Wednesday from 6:00 - 6:45 p.m. It keeps you accountable and, at the same time, addresses topics that were touched on, but not detailed in the 16 week program.

Lifesteps Support Group

This group meets every Monday evening from 6:00 - 6:30 p.m. Weigh-ins are important to encourage accountability. Group discussion follows. It is what its name claims - a group of people with a similar mission providing support and encouragement to each other! Just another phase in our lifetime commitment to healthy eating and exercise habits.
