Abstract

Obesity is common, serious, and costly. This epidemic has affected all of the United States. The related health care costs are staggering. However, many occupational health nurses have not yet implemented weight management programs at their companies or taken steps to improve their own health. This article explores the obstacles to weight loss and suggests reasons and resources to implement on-site weight loss programs.
