Online Weight-loss Plan
Losing Weight And Maintaining Healthy Lifestyle
DENVER -- If you're a mother, you know what it's like to put everyone else before you. Your kids, your husband, maybe even your pets, then you. For Christina Schneider, loving her kids was easy, but finding time to love herself was the challenge.
"I just had two kids. It was time to try to get somewhat back into shape," said Schneider.
Schneider decided to try an online program, designed just for her. IncentaHealth came up with the idea to help companies trying to shape up their working staff. Working with Physicians' Fitness Coach and New West Physicians, IncentaHealth wanted to provide the tools for participants to lose weight and keep it off.
"Our whole goal is to help people make habits in their lives. It's not so much a program anymore, it's really a part of their life," said client manager Valerie Dascenza.
The online healthy plan contacts you through email. It provides a list of planned out meals and exercise routines for you every week.
"Whole meal plan from beginning to end. Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack. They print out a grocery list for you and a menu so it's full proof. All you have to do is follow the list," said Schneider.
Schneider was also able to follow her progress online. Every day, she can see how much weight she's lost and what her goal is for the week. After a year on the IncentaHealth's program, Schneider lost 26 pounds and has kept it off.
"Ten dress sizes, it felt really good. Once you're in a routine, it's like second nature you don't even think twice about it," said Schneider.
Schneider said she now has more energy than ever before. She said the program has taught her about what eating right can do for her health.
"Just giving people the knowledge and ability to change their life as early as possible, so they can be healthy through-out life," said Dascenza.
