A Journey Through Weight Loss
When: 5-6pm, Mondays for six weeks • New sessions starting soon

A six week program aimed at helping you discover why you can’t or won’t lose weight. You’ve been on multiple diets in your life, your health is deteriorating, your knees ache, you’re out of breath, you can’t climb steps anymore, you do exercise once a week, but you just can’t lose the weight.  You lost the weight once… or twice… and you put the weight back on again. WHY?

Discover the issues that keep you from starting or finishing your goal. Commit to the process of weight loss and keep it off forever.

Whether it is 20 pounds or 200 pounds, Riverside Psychiatric is committed to helping you commit to the Journey of Weight Loss.
