Description
Coordinates weekly meetings for adults and children who are overweight. Each group is self-governed and based on the idea that effective weight loss comes from changes in lifestyle and natural solutions (no pills or powders). Activities include exercise, demonstrations, contests and speakers. Each person follows their own particular diet prescribed by a physician or a diet recommended by the organization. Awards and recognition are given regularly at many chapters to honor weight-loss and non-scale victories.
