WHY FAST WEIGHT LOSS WORKS
HMR programs help individuals achieve fast weight loss in a livable way by encouraging people to eat more and stay satisfied, which makes it easier to stick to the program in the short-term, and over the long haul.
According to LIFT Weight Managment and LIFT Wellness Center Director, Miki Martin, "Losing weight quickly is incredibly motivating. It can help people stick with their diet longer, which is especially important if you have a lot of weight to lose. Many of our clients have 30, 40, even 100 or more pounds to lose, so fast weight loss is important to keep up momentum." Miki also adds, " It's a common misconception that fast weight loss isn't healthy or sustainable, and that it will lead to weight regain. That is simply not true . Studies have shown that following a lifestyle- change program that promotes fast initial weight loss is associated with better long-term success.

HMR focuses on three skill areas critical for weight-loss and weight maintenance:
  1. How to make healthier food choices
  2. How to eat more fruits and vegetables
  3. How to increase physical activity


Research has shown that practicing these skills may also help reduce the risk factors for the development of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, some types of cancer, and other chronic diseases.

iCan Tri
Kid's Triathlon
The Therapy & Learning Center’s 5th Annual I CAN TRI triathlon is a fun event for any child ages 5-16 that would like to try a beginner triathlon consisting of swimming, biking and running/walking. We invite children of ALL abilities to participate as we can adapt each category to fit each child's specific needs. I CAN TRI triathlon also is a special event encouraging and supporting a group of kids who may not typically get the opportunity to participate in a physical competition as children with special needs and disabilities compete in the same race alongside of their peers. Three levels of the race will occur, the APEX, ABLE, & ADULT races. The APEX distances are a bit longer whereas the ABLE is a shorter race geared toward children who may need a “buddy” or an assist during one or more elements of the race.
