Citation preview
Green Mountain has opened so many doors in my mind that I’ve kept closed
for a long time. It has provided me with a new outlook on life.

A change of pace from your daily routine (or
routine vacation) can bring unexpected results
and insights in even a short time away. At Green
Mountain, woman have said the time they’ve
invested in themselves has reaped benefits beyond
their expectations. With 40 years of experience in
teaching weight management, we’ve developed a
concise and user-friendly approach to present new
ideas and information. For and idea of what your day
might be like at Green Mountain, refer to A Typical
Day on our website. Of course, this is only a sample
schedule because we want you to make specific
choices in your program that are meaningful to
you and your goals. The way you personalize your
schedule, however, will fall into a framework that
has produced documented results over time.
A change of scenery can also be revitalizing.
Vermont’s Green Mountains are known for
invigorating body and spirit. A beautiful setting
through the four seasons, there’s more then
fancy foliage to admire in our corner of Vermont.
Nearby Weston is home to some of the country’s
best summer stock theater productions, while
Manchester boasts outrageous outlet shopping.
Charming Woodstock is a center of galleries,
antiques, arts and crafts. Situated in the midst of
Vermont’s best ski area, Green Mountain at Fox
run’s own twenty acres on a wooded hilltop offer
an escape form everyday stress and an excellent
environment for renewal.
When it comes to conquering a weight problem,
every woman longs for it. But dealing with weight can be so overwhelming, the
path to change seems elusive. Or scary. At Green Mountain at Fox Run, change
is neither. As the nation’s oldest weight-management retreat dedicated to
women, we have spent the last quarter century developing and refining intelligent
strategies that have helped women find and maintain a healthy weight. In fact,
Green Mountain can claim the country’s highest rate of success for weight lost
and maintained. If you’ve tried every diet, read all the books and followed strict
meal plans up and down the scale only to end up afraid to hope for real solutions...
Consider the possibility of lasting change at Green Mountain.
Changing the way you feel is one of the most
joyous results of managing your weight. Our past
participants, even the most sedentary, have told us
that they started to feel better physically and mentally
almost immediately after exercising here. Feeling
good was a strong foundation for mastering their
eating and stress, a skill they began to learn at Green
Mountain. We believe it is vitally important to provide
you with a variety of physical activity solutions that
can be modified to accommodate all fitness levels.
As with the nutritional element of our program, we
will help you develop a personal fitness plan that’s
enjoyable, do-able, and specifically designed for you
and your situation back home. We know that the key
to sustaining physical activity over a period of time is
- quite simply - whether it’s accessible and fun! That’s
why we offer many options to help you find what
works for you. Whether it’s a morning walk with the
Green Mountains of Vermont as a backdrop, aerobics,
aquatics, tennis, cross-country skiing, strength training
or any of the many activities we offer, we want you to
discover the happiness of movement.
To exercise your mind as well as your body, you’ll
attend lectures on how much exercise is enough, the
psychology and physiology of exercise, and the myths
about exercise and activity in relation to metabolism
are also program components.
You also have the opportunity to meet with our
credentialed fitness experts one-on-one. Specializing
in intrinsic fitness and motivation, they can help you
create a plan that works for your “best” days and
your “worst” ones, too.
With exercise, I have begun to f irm up and feel more f lexibly as well. I’m much more conf ident in myself and my talents. I feel like and entirely different person!

Changing the way you think about eating is the first step towards managing your weight.
Diets are all about restricting, not about eating.
And common sense will tell you that when it
comes to permanent weight loss, feeling deprived
is not a reasonable long-term solution. In fact,
forty years ago, Green Mountain pioneered the
non-diet approach to healthy eating that health
and medical experts are only now realizing is the
key to weight m management.
Changing the way you think about foodleads to healthy eating behavior. The ability to
‘de-powerize’ the role food plays in your life is a
skill that can be practiced and acquired. In the
same way competent women master other areas
of their lives, eating well can be learned. You’ll
have the opportunity to practice eating mindfully
with tasty, healthy meals that prove eating for
weight loss and maintenance doesn’t have to
be restrictive or ultra-low in calories. Our menu
provides plenty of energy for activities while
promoting a sensible loss of weight. Each woman
also develops her own personal eating plan for
back home. We can help you create one that fits
your specific needs, because ours is not a cookie-
cutter solution. We know that for lasting weight
loss success, women need strategies that are
flexible, livable and fit their individual lifestyles.
The non-diet approach was a very freeing aspect for me. Turning eating into a matter of decision rather than ‘diet’
created a new mind-set for me. This process has allowed me to treat food as it is meant to be - as mourishment - rather than
some forbidden activity.

Changing your priorities can often be the
foundation for a healthier weight and lifestyle.
For many women, weight and well-being form a
delicate balance, with the stress from an imbalance
of personal priorities showing up as extra
pounds and inches. Over the years, we at Green
Mountain have discovered that successful weight
management means making yourself a priority -
something that doesn’t always come naturally to
women, the caretakers of the world. In our unique,
all-female environment, you have the opportunity
to take time to reflect, re-assess and establish
new priorities in a supportive atmosphere. Our
educational approach, focusing on topics ranging
from nutrition to stress to exercise to self-esteem
has inspired women to set healthy goals not only
for their weight, but for their lives.
For me, a lot of things I already ‘knew’ jelled
at Green Mountian. Now it all makes sense in
a comprehensive, sensible, livable way. It has
shown me how to stop pointing ‘out there’ and to
begin looking inwards for the control in my life.
Gale D’Aloia, TeacherNew York, NY
With so many changing opinions about what makes for healthy living, who can
you trust to make sense of emerging scientific
and medical research? We are proud that Green
Mountain alumnae have told us we helped
them separate fact from fiction and to debunk
the myths surrounding diet and exercise.
After working with our professional staff of
outstanding nutrition authorities and downright
inspirational eating behavior specialists and
exercise physiologists, you’ll leave Green
Mountain with the tools that will help you make
healthy decisions back home.
Feedback from past participants also tells us
that our caring attitude has been as important
to them as our excellent scientific and academic
credentials. Experiences has given us a deep
understanding of the personal challenge weight
and stress management presents to women.
Each staff member brings and equal measure of
professionalism and enthusiasm to her work.
We offer participants continued inspiration
through informative blog articles and emails
after they leave. Phone consultations at home
with our eating
behavior specialist
are also available as
a personal option.
Perhaps it’s this
kind of follow-
up that’s given
Green Mountain a
published five-year
success rate 20
time greater than
any other program.
I felt each and every
one of the staff tru ly
cared about me and
my goals and more
genuinely interested
in how I could reach
them. Their positive
voices will stay with me.
