Weight loss support group starting at Gifford

Start: 04/09/2014 - 6:30pm

End: 04/09/2014 - 7:30pm

After losing 110 pounds, Cindy Legacy of Randolph is launching a weight loss support group at her workplace – Gifford Medical Center – to help keep the weight off and help others on their weight loss journeys.

The first meeting, which is free and open to all, will be Wednesday, April 9 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. in the Gifford Conference Center.

Legacy has some goals for the group, including providing educational resources, occasional speakers, discussion, support, walking and activities. There won’t be weigh-ins, or judgment, however.

“I don’t care what you weigh. It’s none of my business,” says Legacy, who rather wants to help anyone, at any stage in his or her effort to lose weight and have a healthier lifestyle.

But she is also interested in finding what participants want and what meeting times work best. That will be part of the first meeting. She’s envisioning weekly, evening meetings to follow.

No registration is required to attend.

Gifford Medical Center is located at 44 S. Main St. (Route 12) in Randolph. From South Main Street/Route 12, turn onto Maple Street and park in the main patient lot. The Conference Center is on the first floor of the hospital and marked with a green awning. For handicapped accessibility, take the elevator from the main lobby to the first floor and follow signs for the Conference Center.
