Other Comments
Excellent outreach- Thanks for all the positive energy you give back to our community.

I have become more active and involved and I feel better about myself.

I have really enjoyed participating and watching my numbers go down each week.

I hope to get my family to participate next year.

Great motivator.  Keep up the Great Work!

From a Day Care: The kids had a ball doing this! Thanks for the great way to help us show the kids how important and easy it is to incorporate exercise into daily life.

My bone density improved at my last physical!

Great Program.  I learned a lot and am encouraged to keep moving. 

I have become more active and involved and I feel better about myself.

Learning the different sources of exercise counts and realizing how has increased my endurance, strength, and better sleep.

Made me realize that exercise is important to maintain weight loss.

I like the longer programs, they help you make a healthy change that becomes a habit.

Bonus- $30.00 hair cut for a prize, walking book and Frisbee.

Always encouraging to know others are walking as I do.

I belong to a weight loss group at work and this program helped.

Makes me feel better about myself.

I didn’t know how important water was.  I can walk further now.  I even did a walk for health.

My husband enjoys our daily conversation when we walk.

By participating in the program, I am more aware of increasing my activity and eating better.
