The MFit Weight Management Difference

Unlike most weight control programs that focus only on diet and weight loss, the MFit Weight Management program is different. Here's what makes us unique:

Focus on a Healthy Lifestyle - MFit focuses on taking small steps to create lasting behavior changes that lead to a healthier lifestyle. This unique program combines group support, individual guidance, and strategies for developing healthy eating habits, physical activity habits, and a healthy attitude.

"I learned that it’s not all about losing weight, but about being healthy."

A Whole Person Approach - MFit takes a whole-person approach to weight management addressing the mind, body and spirit. We feel each participant is best served when we respect others' uniqueness. To help empower participants to manage their health for life, the MFit weight management program focuses on five lifetime strategies for success: a healthy environment, a can-do attitude, being physically active, making educated food choices, and tracking behavior changes.

Multiple Measures of Success - MFit emphasizes health outcomes like maintaining desirable blood pressure and cholesterol levels and increasing fitness levels, in addition to weight loss.

Degreed Health Professionals - MFit is staffed by degreed and certified dietitians, health and fitness specialists, and health behavior specialists

Investment in Your Health - MFit recognizes that learning, growing and adopting a healthy lifestyle takes time. That is why we are committed to a partnership with you for an entire year. If you're still not sure whether you are ready to join the MFit Weight Management Program, answer the "Are you ready?" questions.
