Tonight's weekly meeting

Edith Lovett to discuss Healthy Eating at January 19 POP meeting

The Pounds Off Pulaski speaker for Monday, January 19, will be Edith Lovett, Family and Consumer Science Agent, at the Pulaski County Extension Service. 

Lovett’s program will focus on Health Eating.  She will provide important information on choosing healthy foods as well as learning how to recognize and compare unhealthy foods with healthier, lower calorie alternatives. She will also discuss portion control and give easy tips to help participants learn to use the “My Plate” tool for more nutritional meals.

During the 12-week POP challenge, weekly meetings are held each Monday with weigh-ins at 5:00 p.m. and the program to follow at 6:00 p.m. in the Conference Centers on the basement level of the East Tower at Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital.  These meetings are designed to provide support, information, and helpful tools to help participants keep on track so they can reach their personal goals. 

To help make the challenge more fun, incentive prizes are provided by POP Community Partners to participants who reach certain goals, based on the accumulation of POP Points.  Participants can earn points by:  attending weekly weigh-ins at the hospital; attending the weekly informational meeting; completing exercise trackers; watching the weekly program on the blog; and completing bonus point opportunities on the blog.

“We encourage participants to bring their filled exercise tracker cards certified by our fitness partners to the Monday night meeting so they can be included in their incentive point count,” said Susan Ramsey Wilson,  LCRH director of marketing and community relations.
