Action Plan for Weight

Staying healthy at any weight involves taking the time to take care of yourself, eating well-balanced meals, and getting plenty of physical activity.

Did You Know?

Many adults continue to gain weight every year. Simply maintaining your current weight instead of gaining more can help you stay healthy.

Losing as little as 10% of your body weight can reduce your risk for heart disease and diabetes.

Physical activity with or without weight loss can significantly improve your health and quality of life.

Changing Your Lifestyle Habits Takes Time

Changing your lifestyle habits takes time. If you’re like most people, you will have setbacks from time to time. Each attempt at making a change brings you closer to reaching your goal. Research shows that when people stay committed to their decision, even if they have relapses, they eventually reach their goal.

Making healthy lifestyle choices on a regular basis can:

Significantly reduce your risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, and some types of cancer
Improve energy level and mental alertness
Reduce stress, depression, and anxiety
Help you feel and look your best
