Managing our weight can be one of the toughest challenges many of us experience. We all have different challenge areas, but this just happens to be mine. I am so thankful God has inspired me to start a ministry where I can serve Him as He is changing lives. God is at work! Come and join Him and be a life that is changed! Our Outlook Ministry Team and I are here to support you in your weight loss goals.

Outlook Ministry has been providing online support groups since 2001. The success of our groups are primarily the result of the Outlook Leaders' support and personal interaction. The time spent on a daily basis with the others in your small group plays another huge part of the support members receive here. Many times members will tell me that they receive more support in Outlook than in local groups they attended. I would like to think this approach is good for everyone, but some need that face-to-face meeting. Outlook members have the opportunity to connect with others once a week, daily or even several times a day depending on the member's personality and schedule. We live in a very busy time, and many of us a very unhealthy, unbalanced lifestyle. Outlook is a great place to receive support in just doing the next right thing. That is developing a lifestyle of many more right things. Weight is s symptom of the lifestyle we are living. To reach and maintain a healthy body weight, we need encouragement from others to help us know we are making wise choices most days. So I am challenging you to come join along side us here, create a new lifestyle and let us share in your life story!

We begin new Outlook Groups each month on the first Monday of the month, and the session ends on the last Monday of the third month. The deadline to register is the last day of the previous month. Registered members receive a start up email one day before the session begins with login info, a group roster and a small group reading assignment sheet to follow along with their small group.

DISCOVER A NEW WAY OF HEALTHY LIVING:

FIRST PLACE 4 HEALTH (PUBLISHED 2008)

Outlook Groups: (FP4H=First Place 4 Health 2008 version) launches FP4H with our July 2008 session. Requirements for these groups are that members own a FP4H Member's Kit and Featured FP4H Bible Study. This program uses the Food Plan based on the 2005 MyPyramid.gov information with the program approach of the four sided person, addressing the whole person: emotions, mind, body and spirit. Support and accountability are done through small groups, and this is where Outlook Groups is a valuable option.

This is a great opportunity to join in with experienced Outlook Leaders and learn the new FP4H program materials. One of the biggest benefits of local leaders joining our online support groups is that you are able to ask questions and get a quick reply.
With FP4H being NEW in July, 2008, HOT OFF THE PRESS, it will take some time to find groups using the new materials.
Outlook Groups is perfect for members unable to find a local group.
Outlook Groups is perfect for those that would like to start a new group. Many join us one session online and go onto starting a new local FP4H Group in their hometown with confidence and ongoing support from Outlook Ministry.
FP4H has the most up to date nutrition information and still has the foundational principles of the original FP program. It was designed to be simpler to teach and learn.

THE BIBLE'S WAY TO WEIGHT LOSS:

FIRST PLACE (PUBLISHED 2001)

Outlook Groups: (FP=First Place 2001 version) will continue as we move forward supporting First Place members that would like to continue using the FP 2001 materials due to finances and/or choice. This group will support those that have not purchased the new First Place 4 Health revised materials. This program uses the Food Exchange List with the program approach of the four sided person using the First Place Commitments: Attendance, Encouragement, Prayer, Scripture Reading, Scripture Memory, Bible Study, Live It Food Plan, Commitment Record and Exercise. Support and accountability is done through small groups, and this is where Outlook Groups is a valuable option.

There is a $5 savings on the registration fee when joining early, see registration form.
