Welcome to the Shape Up America! Support Center.  It has been designed to:

• help you learn more about some of the barriers that may stand between you and your goal of successful weight management.
  
  
• guide you to some practical solutions or strategies that work for you.
  

Would you like to help others who are struggling with weight management? Whether it is a story about mastering your own feelings or managing an unsupportive spouse, we want to learn more about what you did to change your diet or your activity levels or both. We ask you to share your story with Shape Up America! Please tell us how you faced a problem and overcame it. You can also visit the Story Center to read about others who are working to manage their weight.

If you want to learn about the basics of weight management and related quality-of-life issues, read about some of the latest areas of research, or check out the "hot topics" in the field of weight management, visit Information Please!
