Fraser Health Authority sponsors a Healthy Weights Program. Have you ever participated in a weight loss program either as a patient or healthcare provider? If so, what are your thoughts on these programs?

"No, I have never participated in a weight loss program. I have been on the thinner side my entire life and have trouble consuming enough calories to gain weight. I am healthy, but my physician says I have accelerated metabolism, so it is difficult to put on weight. I completely support weight loss programs as I realize it is difficult for many people to lose weight. I also understand the importance of educating people on leading a healthy lifestyle from an early age. I think it is wonderful that Fraser Health Authority sponsors a Healthy Weights Program and would love to be involved in some capacity."

"Yes, I participated in a weight loss program offered through my insurance company five years ago. I had trouble losing weight after the birth of my third child and received an email from my insurance company describing the program. I enrolled in the six-month program and successfully lost the 10 kilograms that would not leave. I enjoyed the education and support and adopted a healthier lifestyle for my family and me."
