Every year, Americans spend billions of dollars on weight-loss programs and products.  Many are searching for a quick fix. 

Many in Pagosa have discovered that by following the principles introduced in the First Place 4 Health program they can subscribe to a lifestyle of healthy living. This Bible-centered program is supported and endorsed by registered dietitians and physicians.  

Meeting in a weekly support group, members participate in a 12-week curriculum that is centered on achieving balance in four essential areas of life:  emotional, spiritual, mental and physical.  First Place 4 Health has helped people adopt a healthy approach to living since 1981 with over a half million successful members.  The program points participants to God’s strength and provides a support group to help members stay accountable. 

Orientation for the upcoming fall session will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 23, at the Performance Associates office in the Greenbriar Plaza, Suite B-10 at the corner of North Pagosa Boulevard and Park Avenue.  Classes begin the first week of September.
