With 17 million Canadian adults living with overweight or obesity, there is a dire need for a proactive organization that serves all of us. By embracing this vulnerable community our goal is to restore the self-worth in all those who struggle with weight issues, including our children and youth.
We are a group of people with common experiences and concerns. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for communities across Canada to share personal feelings, experiences, coping strategies, and offer support so they can take action and seek the help they deserve.
