Lose Weight in 2008!!
Here, at the South County YMCA, we understand that weight loss is important to some of our members and we know that it’s hard. So we have developed a program to teach participants how to eat healthy and exercise, not just for a few months, but for the rest of your life. Our 12 Week Weight Loss Program encourages small changes in diet that add up to pounds lost.
