What can you do now that you couldn’t do three months ago? |

|
What is the most significant change that you have made in your eating habits? |
||
| “Really just being more aware of what I'm eating and tracking it through my fitness pal.” | “Counting the calories has helped and I stopped eating fast food. Also, I’ve started cooking a lot more.” | |
|
What part of the I Am Methodist Health program has helped you the most? |
||
| “The meetings and the one- on-one time with Michelle. Also, posting program pictures and having weekly weigh ins help keep me accountable.” | “The meetings. I get inspiration and motivation by knowing that I’m not alone in facing challenges.” | |
|
What advice do you give your co-workers to help them make healthy lifestyle changes? |
||
| “The work we do can be stressful and hectic. Don't ‘stress eat!’ Prepare healthy snacks and meals and stay hydrated through a long shift.” | “I work night shift and my co-workers are all watching what we eat, counting calories, and making sure we go to the gym. Building a support team around you is helpful.” | |
