Diane is an active participant in UA Health in Action programs, including Individual Health Planning (IHP) Sessions, and Get the Point (GTP) Incentive Campaign. She was an outstanding member of the WIN-WIN group that met weekly to provide and receive support for weight management. At WIN-WIN meetings Diane often celebrated victories with other participants and came up with inventive ideas to help them reach their weight loss goals. She was always a bright light and inspiration to the group. She values practicing Pilates at least two to four times per week. Diane also participated in the first ever, UAA/WIN for Alaska Run for Women Team this year. Her experiences have brought her much success over the past year. She has met and maintained her weight loss goals, and is feeling great! Best of all Diane is off all of her cholesterol medication. She is a true friend and mentor to many and never gives up despite life's many challenges. Even though Diane's schedule is crazy and demanding, she is always finding new resources and sharing them with her network of fitness and health comrades. Congratulations Diane on your hard work and best wishes for your healthy future!
