Because we know what a critical role weight plays in your overall health, our Lincoln Hospital’s Women’s Wellness Program is sponsoring “Successfully Slim” — a 12-week weight loss program written and copyrighted by our staff dietitian Irene Rapp.    The program will involve weekly local meetings. Unlike other weight loss programs, “Successfully Slim” meetings will be led by Irene, who is a Registered Dietitian and holds a Masters degree in Nutrition. Irene will  invite other healthcare professionals to discuss weight-related topics as they arise.    Irene will provide each client with personalized assistance in setting weight loss goals and tracking progress on weight loss and Body Mass Index. The group meetings will provide participants with support, encouragement, inspiration and accountability. What’s it all about?    Losing weight and getting healthy. Participants will be provided with a binder full of educational materials, as well as a Daily Food Tracker, Goals Tracker and Food Guide. These tools are all helpful and practical ways to move you toward your weight loss goal. Along with these tools, the following topics will be discussed...	Be SUCCESSFULLY SLIM all year round!
