I am so bad with New Years Resolutions but in 2015 I have one resolution that is a must for me to follow through with. A healthier me! When my husband and I 1st started dating back in 1998 I wore a size 3 and fast forwarding to now my body has been through a lot over the coarse over these years. After having 5 children via c-section my body is just not the same and aging certainly does not help! One would think after having 5 kids and never sitting still I would weigh 100 lbs but that is far from the truth. So this year I choose to shed the pounds not just for me but for my children as well. Plus I am praying that a 6th baby is in our near future so I want to start off in good shape!
Aside from exercise, eating healthy CVS MinuteClinic is a great resource for weight loss.

What are you doing in 2015 for a healthy you? Aside from the Weight Loss Program CVS MinuteClinic offers Eyelash Lengthening Consultations, and comprehensive Smoking Cessation programs. Which program can help you?
This is really good to know. I have a good 10 lbs that I just can’t seem to take off, I need something to shake things up.
I knew about CVS’ MinuteClinic, but didn’t know they also had a weight loss program. Good luck with your goal of getting healthier- love that you phrased your goal as getting healthier, not just losing weight.
We use the Minute Clinic all the time when we have minor illnesses. I love that they are expanding with these sorts of programs now, too!
Ugh. I need to make a lot of changes, too. Since I started working from home I have gained like 20 lbs. It makes me feel sluggish and blah. Time for changes!!!
The extra lbs make me feel sluggish, too!
Sounds like a great resource. So glad they have this.
I’m going to start a whole foods diet and see how it goes. Hoping to be healthier and lose some weight.
We were just at CVS MinuteClinic the other day. My daughter didn’t feel well. It was too late to get her in to the doctor’s office and I ran her to the Minute Clinic. The rapid strep test came back negative and I felt comfortable enough to send her to school the next day! Great resource!
I need to start loosing weight, I find it so hard though, I can’t exercise much due to my mobility so need to get my diet sorted hopefully! x
I plan to try to clean up my diet. I eat way too many processed foods and sugary snacks! And I have a few pounds I’d like to lose.
I didn’t know that CVS offered things such as this. How cool!
Programs like this are so wonderful, especially since they offer so many additional resources and ongoing support.
This may be a good way for me to start the new year …
I didn’t realize they had a weight loss program. That may be something to look into for sure. The new year is a great time to kick it off.
This is so good to know! I have to get my weight under control this year and this may help.
How wonderful that a minute clinic offers this! I think that is FANTASTIC! Good luck on your weight loss journey!
I am going vegan in the new year to help with my health. that you for this awesome post to help me along the way.
I love that CVS is offering these programs! I haven’t used their weight loss program but I did use their smoking cessation program a few years ago and really enjoyed the convenience of just going to the local CVS for help instead of paying crazy doctor’s office rates!
I definitely need to tone up and drink more water. I used to have a smoothie a day but I fell off the wagon. I will be reincorporating smoothies in my diet. Looking forward to your progress.
I love the fresh slate of the new year. Good luck on your goals, weight loss can be a struggle.
I knew about CVS’ MinuteClinic, but didn’t know they also had a weight loss program. I may have to look into that for myself.
sounds like a great program. we all have a little extra weight, especially after have a few kids. Good luck with everything!
it’s so important that throughout the year as moms we realize how important self care is, especially when we are busy taking care of our kiddies. good luck on your weight loss journey.
I’m glad that the Minute Clinic has a weight loss program. Its good to be able to have this resource as close as the CVS pharmacy. I’m continuing my commitment from 2014 into 2015 and every resource I can have at hand to encourage and help me is a great asset.
I’m glad CVS pharmacy is helping people to get in shape. I plan on loosing a few pounds in the new year too.
These all sound like great programs indeed. It is great that you are trying to get healthy not only for yourself but for your children too. I would benefit from the Smoking Cessation. We don’t have a CVS pharmacy here though. Thanks for sharing.
I can’t wait to get one of these clinics at CVS by me. CVS has such great programs!
I am going to eat better, lose weight and cut down on my spending. I tend to buy way too much take out which is not helping in the saving money and weight loss departments.
ow you know I want to be fat, I was eat more and more everyday but I’m so fit hahaha
I had to come back and thank you again for this post. It really was inspiring and helpful in getting me motivated for the new year.
CVS always has EVERYTHING I need so this is so cool that there is a weight loss program. It’s on my resolutions list for the new year. Eat better, feel better, look better!
I used the Minute Clinic before I found a family doctor when I first moved to Atlanta.
Good luck on your weight loss goal! I suck at resolutions but I’m hoping to start a healthier life too! I want to exercise more and eat healthier! Plus I need to get my finances in order!
It is wonderful to have places like the Minute Clinic around to make getting healthier an staying that way easier to o.
This is definitely on my list of goals for 2015. We love CVS for all our prescriptions. Best of luck on your goals this year!
I used to love CVS when it was located in my neck of the woods, and then another drugstore took over. For 2015, I would like to increase my exercise time during the wintertime. I have been at a standstill since late fall.
What a great program! I love it, what a great motivation of the new year. A healthy lifestyle is so wonderful and I love it 🙂 Thanks for sharing!!
Since I’ve lost too much weight with depression going into 2015 I plan on getting back to a healthy weight. I have about 15 more lbs to gain back. I’ve been struggling but I’m finally seeing results.
this is totally a good jump start for the new year of 2015. we all need to be healthy and be more fit as well.
