We are very excited that we have already reached 34% of our goal! A big thank you goes out to everyone who has supported us! Your generosity does not go unnoticed and it is very much appreciated! Helping us build the BodyChangers app brings your community towards health and wellness.

Last weekend we held our 3rd annual BodyChangers Fashion Show. We took this opportunity to celebrate the weight loss of some of our most successful participants (see group photo below). Their stories demonstrate that our BodyChangers community leads others towards a healthy lifestyle!

Check out this story from BodyChangers Participant, Mark Dodd:

“Two years ago I was a 500 lb man in my early forties, having 5 herniated discs that left me bedridden. I came to a major crossroads in my life.  I could change my life and lifestyle then or I can live the rest of my life in that bed.  Of course I had to change, I hit my rock bottom so I started off reducing my food intake and eliminating my carbs. After I learned to walk again, which slowly lead to exercising, I lost 100 pounds in the first six months.  Realizing that I still needed help, I chose to have a gastric bypass surgery.  In a total of 18 months I lost 294 pounds and totally changed my life. Sure, I lost a mass amount of weight but I gained so much in return.  Before weight loss my life consisted of sitting and sleeping in my recliner. After weight loss, I’m able to run, hike, bike, kayak and even sky dive. I realize that life has so much to offer and I’m taking every opportunity to live life to the fullest.”

Please continue to spread the word about our BodyChangers campaign! Your kind donations will help others like Mark take health and wellness into their own hands!

We are almost halfway to our goal! Thank you so much for continued support and dedication to BodyChangers. With only 8 days left in our campaign, lets make a move to put healthy living in the palm of your hand!

Last week, we concluded our 4 week pilot program, called “Making the Move: Transitioning to a Physically Active Lifestyle.” This program, sponsored by the University of Pittsburgh’s Health and Physical Activity department, was designed to help our BodyChangers transition to a lifestyle that incorporates more movement and healthier habits! Check out our YouTube video to see what it was all about!
