"It's not brain surgery..."
No truer words have been spoken

This is where Kimberlee and her coaching experience can help!
First, what is coaching?
The International Coach Federation defines coaching as "partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential." Coaches help you find solutions from within that work for you; they do not tell you what the solutions are since, as obese or formerly obese people, we know "one size DOES NOT fit all."

Back-on-Track Program
The Back-on-Track Kick Start program, created by Bariatric Support Centers International (BSCI), is designed to assist post-op people who have either regained, are at a weight loss plateau or need the extra assistance to finally reach goal weight. This course also works for pre-ops needing to lose their 10% to qualify for surgery.

To stay on track, students are encouraged by BSCI to repeat the program annually to learn new techniques, be reminded of the basics, and/or lose any holiday weight regain.
Price
Registration fee is $150 and includes your booklets, bariatric products, a three-month membership to BSCI and more. If you have previously taken Back-on-Track, you can repeat it for only $75 as a "Graduate" (bring your books).
