Welcome to /fit! We are glad you have stopped by and hope that we can give you some good advice and information everyday on diet and fitness.

This site was started to help people who are struggling with what is basically a lifestyle problem. Since a huge percentage of Americans are either overweight or obese, we want to help by encouraging people to change their lifestyle for the better by exercising and watching their diet.  Unfortunately, this is not just a matter of appearances. The problem has turned into a national health care nightmare that is only going to get worse. But the good news is that there are some simple (although not necessarily easy) steps people can take to lose weight and improve their health and appearance.  We are going to give you daily help in fighting the battle for health and fitness. Feel free to send us your thoughts, tips and suggestions.
