Friends of Library, Cooperative Extension to offer ‘Eat Smart, Move More, Weigh Less’

Figuring out the basics of living a healthier life can be tricky. With all of the information out there, it’s tough to determine the good from the bad.

Now, in partnership with Randolph County Cooperative Extension, the Friends of the Randolph Public Library will present Eat Smart, Move More, Weigh Less, a 15-week program designed as a weight management program that uses strategies proven to work. Randolph County Cooperative Extensions’ Family and Consumer Sciences agent Katie Rangel will be the instructor for this class.

The classes will be offered at the Asheboro Public Library starting at 1 p.m. Thursday, August 15. There is a $20 fee for the course and registration is limited.

For more information or to sign up, call Katie Rangel at Cooperative Extension, 318-6000, or Kyle Thomas at the Asheboro library, 318-6808.

Eat Smart, Move More, Weigh Less is a weight management program developed by the N.C. Cooperative Extension and the NC Division of Public Health.

Eat Smart, Move More, Weigh Less is part of the Eat Smart, Move More…NC movement to increase opportunities for healthy eating and physical activity wherever North Carolinians live, learn, earn, play and pray.
