Founded in 1994, Shape Up America! is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization committed to raising awareness of obesity as a health issue and to providing responsible information on healthy weight management.
After you have received the OK from your physician, you can get the support and structure you need to begin a program of physical activity. No matter what your body size or shape, physical activity is something you can do for yourself. You might want to check into programs specifically geared for larger sized individuals. (One place to check is www.kellybliss.com).
