What Makes Weigh To Live Different
From All of the Other Programs?

All of our plans are individualized based on your resting metabolism, current fitness level and overall health. The initial assessment will include obtaining your resting metabolism, gait analysis, fitness level assessment, body fat, blood pressure, plus much more. An eating plan and exercise plan including stretching (for injury prevention), resistance training, and aerobic training will be personalized for you. Your progress will be monitored regularly and adjustments made as needed.

Many plans available today are the same the day you start until the day you finish. This is not true with Weigh To Live. You will meet weekly with a Weigh to Live professional and alterations will be made to your plan as needed. As your body changes and you start building muscle, losing fat and increasing your metabolism, your diet and exercise plan will also have to change to continue the weight loss process. Monthly educational/support group meetings will also be offered to aid in your overall success.

Weigh To Live follows a medical model. We will assess your blood pressure, pulse, weight, metabolism, range of motion, flexibility and strength throughout the program so we can show you overall improvement in health…not just weight loss! We will also keep your primary physician informed of your progress. The reason we do this is because the Weigh To Live health care professionals know the overall positive health effects of maintaining a healthy weight. This may include lowering blood pressure, increasing energy, lowering cholesterol, decreasing joint pain, decreasing back pain and decreasing potential for chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. All creating a better Weigh To Live for life!

Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)

Your resting metabolic rate (RMR) accounts for 75% of your total calories your body needs each day. It tells us exactly how many calories your body will burn at rest. Once we know this number, we can calculate how many calories your body burns with your occupation and lifestyle activities and come up with a specific daily caloric intake.

Metabolisms are different among each individual. Many programs are not individualized for your body and your genetics. Unless a professional measures your RMR they would be guessing at what your caloric needs are. Estimates of your RMR will only lead to errors and inaccurate caloric budgets. They will lead to frustration and an inability to reach your goals.

Most programs instruct you to cut your calories and, as a result, your metabolism will lower to adjust to the decreased intake. You will drop weight, however, your weight loss will eventually plateau. You will then be instructed to drop your calories even more and your metabolism drops even lower. You will continue this process until you achieve your goal weight. During this process, however, your metabolism will drop dramatically; therefore, the second you start slowly increasing your calories, your weight will comes back on.

How Do We Measure Your Resting Metabolic Rate?

Weigh To Live measures your oxygen consumption to determine your RMR. A 10-minute breath test will accurately measure your RMR. Many factors influence your RMR such as: body composition, age, gender, body mass index, lifestyle activities, occupations, caloric intake and exercise habits. By accurately measuring your RMR we can determine what will be the best process in helping you achieve your goals.

Why Are Weekly Followup Appointments Important?

Lifestyle changes are very difficult to accomplish on your own. The Weigh To Live professionals will keep you accountable by reviewing weekly diet/exercise logs and encouraging weekly weigh-ins. This will allow us to alter your plan if necessary.

Why Are Monthly Educational &
Support Group Meetings Important?

The education programs will allow the Weigh to Live staff an opportunity to share more valuable health related information with you. Also, by meeting others whom are making similar lifestyle changes, you will be able to discuss situations and receive feedback from each other. It will be a time to share successes as well as discuss barriers that have gotten in the way. This time is invaluable because so much can be learned from each other!
