Need to lose weight?

We all have different reasons for wanting to lose a few pounds or maintain a healthy weight. You might want to feel healthier or look better, or you might want to change your diet and start exercising to help control your diabetes or high blood pressure. Blue Care Network can help.

Our Weigh to Go™ program, in partnership with the Michigan Institute for Health Enhancement, is designed to help adult members (18 years or older) overcome the challenges of maintaining a healthy weight and physical activity level. To see if you’re eligible to join, call the Michigan Institute for Health Enhancement at 248-475-4880. Counselors are available 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The Blues also have a partnership with Weight Watchers® to help you lose pounds that may be putting your health at risk. By showing your Blues card, you’ll save on the regularly priced registration and initial 12-week plan at locations in many parts of Michigan.

Call 888-335-6746 or visit 888-3-Florine.com to find the Weight Watchers meeting nearest you. Show your Blues ID card at your first Weight Watchers meeting to receive your special discount.

MIRA helps me. I was initially attracted by the Chase Paymentech program, but truly appreciate the association’s expertise and information. I’ve found so much info in the Bottom Line publication that is useful, or helpful, and that has taught us something to pay attention to.” “The magazine has been fabulous; it’s totally saved me a few times.

We get better deals thanks to MIRA. We get the rebates with the coupons, and we can send them directly to them instead of sending to each manufacturer. It’s easy to send them to one place, and that is it. That really helps us save a lot of time. They also help us with the Dairymens Milk Company, and we get the special price, too. That is very nice.

Auday is a great guy, who listens to suggestions and is very open. MIRA hears people, which is key. If you have a question or suggestion, they listen and try to do something about it.

Even though we’re not affected by the meat labeling law because we’re small and everything comes directly from the farmer, we rely on the information MIRA provides and how much they try to help small businesses,” “We appreciate the programs, too, but the way they work to keep us updated and protect us from taxes and regulations is the most important.

Newberry especially likes working with independent retailers, he says, because that’s where you can build your brand quickly and effectively. “Working through MIRA makes that even more effective, because independents are especially strong in Michigan and Ohio.

It’s important, especially for new people, to become members even though it may initially be hard for them to see that the advantages outweigh the fee. I’m very glad I joined because I’m saving money and getting good ideas for my business.
