TriCities.com | TennCare and Weight Watchers

This sis a great news story. Appaarently the state of Tennessee has partnered with Weight Watchers to offer teens that have aweight problems a disounted rate to get the help they need to lose the weight that they need. It would really be nice to see more states and Canadian provinces take this same tack.

Obesity in schools has been recognised as a problem for many years now and one of the great things that some school districts have done is create a healthier lunch program and force more hours of physical education and nutrition classes.

I would love to see some really good success stories from this program and will happily post them in the hope that the news will spread across the continent and help those that are just at the beginnings of wathcing their own health and fitness
