For the City Times

Just in time for those New Year’s resolutions! Start the new year right by taking a sensible approach to lifetime weight control. Register today for Aspirus Riverview Hospital’s popular “Winding Your Weigh Down” class.

The eight-week program will be held Thursdays, from Jan. 12 through Mar. 2. Classes will meet from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in Aspirus Riverview Hospital’s lower level. In addition to the eight classes, participants will receive follow-up consultations on Mar. 30 and May 25.

“Winding Your Weigh Down” is led by an Aspirus Riverview Hospital Registered Dietitian and combines diet, behavior modification, and exercise to promote long-term weight loss and control.

The fee of $120 includes: a private weigh-in, a body fat analysis, a personal dietary assessment, a pocket pedometer which measures steps, aerobic steps and calories burned ($30 value), and support materials for each participant. Gift certificates and financial aid are available.

Please register and pay by credit card at aspirus.org/classes or by check (no cash/credit) at the Aspirus Riverview Hospital front desk weekdays between 8 am and 4 pm. Registration closes on Jan. 7, and early registration is encouraged, as class size is limited. Questions about the program may call 715.421.7500.
