Is Your Weight Holding You Down?

You're not alone — almost 34 percent of adults in the United States are obese. If you are obese, you might be at a higher risk of medical problems, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, and some cancers. Losing weight can help reduce these risks.

If you're ready to lose weight, the Comprehensive Weight Loss Program offers individualized plans to help you achieve your weight loss goals and maintain long term success.
