Weekly Support Calls for People on the TSFL Programs

[Nancy]

Hello Everyone ~

With the coming New Year many people will soon start on our weight loss program and I want to mention that Take Shape For Life offers three thirty minute national conference calls to support people using Medifast meal replacements.

To participate, dial the phone number and when the recorded voice ‘answers’; enter the pin number followed by the pound sign. You will then be connected to the call.

Most calls begin with the host asking listeners to give their name and the amount of weight they’ve lost. The host then speaks for a short time about a topic of their choice and then opens the call for questions from the listening audience.

You do not have to announce your name – you may remain anonymous and just listen in!

Please know that what goes on in your room can be heard by others on the call, too.

If you have a MUTE button on your phone, please use it so others do not hear the TV, kids chatting and your toilet flushing!

If you do not have a MUTE button on your phone, press *6 to mute and then *6 to unmute when you wish to ask a question.

This is not just for nurses – it is for everyone on the TSFL programs who may have questions or need some encouragement.

[Diana]

Ooooooh! I'll have to try to make it home on Wednesday nights! I'm usually on the Monday call, but haven't made it to Wednesday.

Fashion question: Larry Boy attire for the call? (Although for us West Coasters, it's a bit early for jammies)

[DogMa]

I believe leopard wear is required, Diana - at least on the nights Nancy hosts.
