Story Behind the Curve
While weight loss has remained overall stable, we did see a decline in 2019-2021. Most of this time coincides with the emergence of Covid. Virtual classes were implemented, but group dynamics declined. For many, this was challenging because of technology itself. Others missed the social interaction of the group. In addition, instructor weigh ins were not done, but self reported.
During 2019, an employee class was added. Because this class was done during working hours and virtually, it made it more difficult to focus due to distractions and work obligations.
