Take the ChallengeThe most important reason why weight matters is because of your health. On this website, you will learn more about how your weight and health go hand-in-hand, how your weight affects your health and how to prepare for your conversation about weight

Today more than 33 percent of Americans are affected by excess weight. The Your Weight Matters Campaign is a national initiative, which encourages each and every American to talk to their healthcare provider about their weight. This national campaign is produced and presented by the Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) to assist individuals affected by excess weight and empower them to take charge of their health and have the conversation of weight with their healthcare provider.
