Team participation by church groups, neighborhood and community groups, clubs and organizations, sororities, fraternities, athletic clubs, and weight loss support groups is encouraged. I've been struggling with my excess weight since motherhood five years ago. I realize I can't do this alone, and I have to do it. I don't want diabetes, or heart disease, or any other physical ailment that can take me away from my child prematurely. DVC Weight Loss Buddies' mission is to promote healthier lifestyles through proper diet and exercise.
Obesity is an ever-growing problem.
Diet fad shortcuts are the norm and produce short-lived results that, in the end, add extra pounds on and can harm you health. DVC Weight Loss Buddies believes that the only way to properly maintain a healthier body weight is through a healthy diet and exercise. Anorexic and bulimic tendencies and diet pills are strongly discouraged. Participants should strive to lose one to two pounds a week, in order to have a better chance of keeping the weight off for years and years to come. Bell encourages people to participate.
