The VA Move Program has assisted five veterans with losing a combined 700 pounds of weight.  In addition to improved overall health, many of these Veterans expressed a result that was unexpected, their emotional well-being. Gaining self-confidence and healthy living habits have influenced others.  Weight was not the only thing that was reduced.  Many of these Veterans also were able to reduce medications due to side effects of being overweight. Exclaimed one Veteran “My life stopped being just about me, and I started considering the feelings of others around me”.

In the holiday season remember to take care of your body as you make meal decisions. Sensible daily changes helped these Veterans lose the weight and keep it off.
