Mabel Womack
Mabel has been an active wellness enthusiast for most of her life. She joined LIFT Wellness Center in October 2012. Since then she has been able to stay very limber and continue her exercise journey. She also accredits working out at LIFT Wellness to one of the main reasons she can stay active today at the age of 102! Her fitness journey started in 1922, in the Gulf of Mexico, when she was only 5 years old. This is where she learned to swim, and has since swam a mile a day for 5 days every week!
Mabel was a school teacher for 44 years and throughout that time she taught in Tennessee, Arkansas, Colorado, and California. She has also visited over 75 different countries, and was finally able to visit Hawaii on her 90th birthday! A feat she accredits to her active lifestyle and healthy living habits! When asked about using the gym during the turbulent season, Mabel stated, “I fully trust the changes LIFT Wellness has implemented into keeping the gym extremely comfortable and clean.”
Thank you Ms. Mabel for your continued trust and use of LIFT Wellness Center!

Check out what Vicki B. has to say about the HMR Program at LIFT Weight Management!
"The HMR Program-----“EAT BETTER not LESS” has been a great experience for me. For many years I have considered myself as a perpetual dieter. Some diets worked for a while and others not at all. Essentially I was Yo-yo dieting and getting little exercise, if any. I did not enjoy exercising and found myself using excuses not to exercise because I was always too busy. Without a structured diet and moderate exercise I could never meet my weight loss expectations.
Today I am achieving both with the HMR Program! I started the program on September the 1st and have enjoyed the meal selections, the variety of supplemental additions: fruits, vegetables, shakes, soups and bars. I have also embraced the exercise portion of the plan and enjoy that exercise has now become part of my daily routine coupled with the food. The local Staff at HMR is very supportive and helps me and my Phase 1 classmates keep motivated with encouraging emails, new recipes and weekly meetings for support of the Program. The best, most important part of the program is that the Staff, in conjunction with the participants’ tracking of their food and exercise, helps keep us on track……..it WORKS!"
Congratulations on your success,
we are so proud of YOU!

WHY FAST WEIGHT LOSS WORKS
HMR programs help individuals achieve fast weight loss in a livable way by encouraging people to eat more and stay satisfied, which makes it easier to stick to the program in the short-term, and over the long haul.
According to LIFT Weight Management and LIFT Wellness Center Director, Miki Martin, "Losing weight quickly is incredibly motivating. It can help people stick with their diet longer, which is especially important if you have a lot of weight to lose. Many of our clients have 30, 40, even 100 or more pounds to lose, so fast weight loss is important to keep up momentum." Miki also adds, " It's a common misconception that fast weight loss isn't healthy or sustainable, and that it will lead to weight regain. That is simply not true. Studies have shown that following a lifestyle- change program that promotes fast initial weight loss is associated with better long-term success.
HMR focuses on three skill areas critical for weight-loss and weight maintenance:
- How to make healthier food choices
- How to eat more fruits and vegetables
- How to increase physical activity
Research has shown that practicing these skills may also help reduce the risk factors for the development of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, some types of cancer, and other chronic diseases.

Happy New Year!
Although most people want to shut the door on the year that was 2020, I ask that you use the start of this year to reflect on the good and the bad of this past year. For many, this past year has brought loss, clarity, and even a change in priorities. Whatever 2020 brought you, the new year brings an opportunity to really focus on making some changes in your life in the form of a New Years' resolution!
The most common resolutions tend to be “lose weight,” “get healthier,” or “save more money.” Though these are all wonderful ideas, they are vague which can make it difficult to stick to. If you make them specific (lose __ pounds, save $__ each month) then you are more likely to achieve them.
Another way you can increase your likelihood of sticking to your resolution is to make a plan for your success. Break your goal down into smaller steps and keep track of your progress. You can also brainstorm what challenges you think will come up and think of ways to stick to your plan. Maybe there is a special dinner or an office party that is coming up and your resolution it to eat healthfully. You can look at the menu ahead of time and decide what meal fits your goals or you can bring a food item that you know you can eat and enjoy! Although you can’t plan for everything, having some ideas of how to tackle a challenge will help you be more prepared for when unexpected challenges come up.
No matter if you are struggling or succeeding with your resolution, it is recommended to check-in and reflect on what is working and what isn’t. If one of your steps for weight loss is to go to the gym at 5 am before work but you don’t find yourself making it there, then maybe there is another time that would work better! You may also be more successful by focusing on one resolution instead of dividing your energy into many changes in your life.
