This information is amazing and very disturbing! That is why I have decided to try to change what I can.
Childhood Overweight and Obesity
Obesity is a serious health concern for children and adolescents. Results from the 2007-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), using measured heights and weights, indicate that an estimated 17 percent of children and adolescents ages 2-19 years are obese. Between 1976-1980 and 1999-2000, the prevalence of obesity increased. Between 1999-2000 and 2007-2008 there was no significant trend in obesity prevalence.
Among pre-school age children 2-5 years of age, obesity increased from 5 to 10.4% between 1976-1980 and 2007-2008 and from 6.5 to 19.6% among 6-11 year olds. Among adolescents aged 12-19, obesity
increased from 5 to 18.1% during the same period.1, 46
Obese children and adolescents are at risk for health problems during their youth and as adults. For example, during their youth, obese children and adolescents are more likely to have risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease (such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and Type 2 diabetes) than are other children and adolescents.2
Obese children and adolescents are more likely to become obese as adults.3, 4 For example, one study found that approximately 80% of children who were overweight at aged 10–15 years were obese adults at age 25 years.3 Another study found that 25% of obese adults were overweight as children.5 The latter study also found that if overweight begins before 8 years of age, obesity in adulthood is likely to be more severe.
This Web site provides information about childhood overweight and obesity, including how overweight and obesity are defined for children, the prevalence of obesity, the factors associated with obesity, and the related health consequences.

First Post....Welcome and Thanks!
I want to thank everyone who has supported my decision in giving up on the Corporate Sales World and for encouraging me to to dive into the Real World! I cant thank all of you enough! Its truly not about the money anymore...Sure its nice but money is not happiness. I have learned more and found out who I really am through Fitness and Nutrition in the last 12 months than I have in the last 23 years of Corporate Sales. I adore all of the clients and great people I met along the way and will never forget the great times we spent together and would love all of you to take the Health Rd. with me and see where it may take you, your family and friends. I hope to stay in touch and contact all of you very soon. Please keep logging onto my Blog for additional and informative ways on how to stay Fit and Healthy! Luv you all, Jen
