Seven Habits to a Lifestyle of Healthy Weight Loss and Maintenance
Real life is hard enough.
Healthy choices can get easier.
When work runs late, the family needs dinner, and you're already running on empty, the drive-through can feel like the only realistic choice. The goal isn't perfection. It's knowing what to do next. This class offers practical habits and support to help you keep moving.
Seven Mondays, September 21 through November 2, from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.

Real life can make healthy choices harder.
Knowing what to do is one thing. Following through is another.
This class isn't about shame, perfection, or starting over every Monday. It's about noticing what gets in the way, trying practical responses, and preparing for the moments that usually throw you off.
Picture this: Dessert is offered. You pause, decide what you want, and move on without guilt.

Good questions are welcome
Before you decide
Skim the answers below, then call or text Dr. Rice if you would like to talk through whether the class fits your needs.
How do I enroll?
Simply come to the first class on Monday, September 21, at 6:00 p.m. Dr. Rice will provide consent and intake forms as part of the first class, and the $50 fee will be collected at the end of that class. No online registration is required.
What if I am taking medication for weight management?
If weight-management medication is part of your care, keep following your healthcare provider's guidance. This class focuses on everyday habits, stress, movement, and getting back on track. It does not replace or change your medical treatment. If Dr. Rice believes consultation with your provider may be helpful, she has a medical-release form you can choose to sign to allow that conversation.
What if I have never tried a diet plan?
No dieting experience is needed. The class starts with your life as it is now and introduces useful skills one step at a time. Whether you have tried many approaches or none at all, you can begin where you are.
Is this another strict diet?
No. This is not a perfect menu, a list of forbidden foods, or an all-or-nothing rulebook. The focus is noticing what influences your choices and building habits that fit everyday life.
What if I get off track?
Relax. Most members will make mistakes, which is why you will learn to make a personal rescue plan.
Is the class appropriate for everyone?
This class may not be the right fit for everyone, including people with certain eating or psychiatric disorders, a history of bariatric surgery, or other serious medical conditions. If you have questions about whether the class is appropriate for you, contact Dr. Rice and talk with your treating provider before enrolling.
What does the $50 include?
The $50 is the total price for all seven weekly sessions, not a per-session fee. The fee is collected at the end of the first class.
