Whoops! Naturally Slim, 10-Week Weight Loss Opportunity, Not Accepting Applications Until June 13

Naturally Slim has notified us that the period for the next round of applications to the program doesn’t open until June 13. So if you went to the website and got a message that the program was not currently accepting applications, this is why. No matter how much you communicate, sometimes details get left out! We apologize for any inconvenience.

Reminder: Agency Offering Second Free 10-Week Online Weight Loss Opportunity
Heartland AEA is offering a second opportunity for our employees to participate in the Naturally Slim® program.

Naturally Slim is a 10-week online program that helps you lose weight plus improve your overall health – all while eating the foods you love! With Naturally Slim, you will learn that you don’t have to starve yourself or count calories to lose weight and keep it off forever.

How does the Naturally Slim program work?
Naturally Slim is a mindful-eating program that helps you change how you eat instead of what you eat. It is not a diet. And, as you lose weight, you also improve your health by improving the risk factors that can lead to serious, chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, cancer and more.

Why not give it a try? 
You can still eat the foods you love and this could be the solution that you’ve been looking for. Thousands of people have used the Naturally Slim program to successfully lose weight.  The average weight loss in just 10 weeks is 10.1 pounds. In fact, 15% of participants lose more than 20 pounds in that time. The first group of Heartland AEA participants had so many success stories that the Agency has decided to offer a summer program!

How do I apply?
The program begins on July 11, 2016 but participation is limited, so complete the online application by June 24, 2016. 

 
Please note: By submitting the online application, you are committing to participate in the program, if accepted.
