HOUSTON, Feb. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Millions of people want to lose weight and get a healthier, leaner body. According to the Centers for Disease Control, nearly 36 percent of the adult American population is obese, and obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke are some of the leading causes of death in the country.
These statistics inspire many Americans to attempt weight loss each year. However, losing weight is not a simple process. It is important for those who want to get in shape to have the right tools to make their efforts successful. Repeated failures can cause an individual to lose the will to try to attain a healthy weight.
Life Long Weigh is currently offering solutions for Houston residents who are serious about weight loss. These programs are not "diets" per se; instead, they represent a different approach to healthy living that incorporates making healthy food choices and lifestyle changes that will make a true difference in an individual's overall health.Life Long Weigh offers three programs to fit all lifestyles. All programs include education about food choices, promotion of life styles, and tips to maintain a healthy weight. Programs can also be customized for individual needs.

The program offers help with diet, exercise and supplemental choices. Every participant is given one-on-one attention and support.
Weigh to GO!
This program focuses on overall health and disease prevention in a group setting.
