Registration is now open for the LifeSteps Weight Management Program offered by Benefits & Employee Wellness. LifeSteps is one of our most popular programs… because it works! If you are looking to improve your eating habits, become more active, and achieve a healthy weight, now is the time to join!

LifeSteps is different than most other programs – there is no rigid diet to follow, no good/bad food lists, and no judgement. Instead, the focus is on helping you build an eating plan that fits your lifestyle and preferences. Some key features that make LifeSteps unique include:

  • A focus on behavior change, not just the number on the scale
  • Promoting sustainable habits that support health over the long-term
  • An evidence-based approach proven to work

LifeSteps is available at NO COST to benefit-eligible UNM staff and faculty and HSC employees, including UNMMG and SRMC. Participants get a safe and supportive environment to take charge of their health. Each week, we work on small, sustainable changes that add up to big results. All participants receive:

  • LifeSteps workbook, filled with activities to build your healthy eating and movement plans
  • Weekly online class sessions (meet in Microsoft Teams; recorded for later viewing)
  • Online private group with additional resources and peer support
  • Individual coaching sessions with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
  • Optional Exercise Physiology Lab testing

Join our fully online LifeSteps class this fall:

  • Aug 28 – Nov 17 (12 weeks)
  • Online group class meets every Thursday from noon to 1 p.m. (first group class is Aug 31)

Now is the perfect time to take steps toward the healthier lifestyle you deserve. Visit our website for full program details including instructions on how to sign up via Learning Central. If you have questions, contact Benefits & Employee Wellness at wellness@unm.edu.
