Healthy LIFE works because…

• Participants develop skills to achieve life-long weight management rather than quick weight loss.
  
  
• Participants learn how to be healthy while keeping themselves satisfied physically and psychologically.
  
  
• Participants plan for challenging situations and use new skills to handle them.
  
  
• Participants learn to measure success by their behavioral changes and learn not to judge themselves by unreasonable expectations.
  
  
• Instructors applaud progress and do not demand perfection.
  

Families receive training from multidisciplinary professionals

Participants receive a comprehensive evaluation

• State-of-the-art body composition assessment using “DEXA” Scan.
  
  DEXA scans tell us how much muscle, fat and bone are present in different areas of the participant’s body before and after adopting a healthy lifestyle
  
  
• Individualized Behavioral Assessment and Goal Setting
  
  Behavioral specialist reviews eating and activity patterns of the child and family and works with them to set realistic long-term goals for healthy living.
  
  
• Fitness Assessment
  
  Participants are guided through a variety of brief physical activities to identify targets for improvement. Areas include strength, endurance, flexibility, and speed.
