Weight Loss Support Programs

It’s natural for anyone trying to lose weight to want to lose it very quickly. But people who lose weight gradually and steadily (about 1 to 2 pounds per week) are more successful at keeping it off. Healthy weight loss isn’t just about a “diet” or “program.” It’s about an ongoing lifestyle that includes healthy eating patterns and regular physical activity.

Once you’ve achieved a healthy weight, rely on healthy eating and physical activity to help you keep the weight off over the long term.

Losing weight is not easy, and it takes commitment. But if you’re ready to get started, below are a couple of programs the City offers to individuals on the health plan.
