Initiative for a Healthy Weight

The Obesity Epidemic

What can we do about this epidemic?

The Initiative for a Healthy Weight recognizes the challenges that we all face to eating better and being more active. We are working to improve these environmental factors so that it is easier to be healthy.

Even though our environment may not be ideal, that doesn’t mean that it is impossible to maintain a healthy weight! We hope that you will use the physical activity and nutrition sections of this website for suggestions about how and where to get more physical activity and better nutrition and for resources that can make it easier for you to live a healthy lifestyle.
