Can’t weight to celebrate

Week Eight

Congratulations! You’ve reached the final week of the Don’t Weight to Feel Great program. Now you are equipped with the skills you need for permanent weight management. There are no project goals for this week, but you will find

some helpful tracking tools along with last week’s “Score Big for Your Health” tracking chart to help you continue monitoring your progress.

Don’t Weight to Feel Great doesn’t end here. Making the transition from the structure of this program to continuing the behavior modification strategies on your own is critical to your future success. You have been encouraged to adopt new habits and behaviors and make them a permanent part of your life. Remember to keep a positive attitude and give yourself credit for completing the program. If you didn’t succeed on this program, then perhaps you need to evaluate another program. There is no one answer to weight loss for everyone. What’s important is that you keep trying.
