We have been pleasantly surprised by the incredible response to iChange and the opportunity for our counselors to meet so many people who struggle with both the emotional and physical pain of weight gain. The pain is extreme for many of our members. I’ve lost track of the number of times our counselors have told us about meeting a new iChange member who, due to her weight, simply does not want to leave home to go to the grocery store, let alone visit a gym or a nutritionist. We hope that our online counseling services can help all those people get started on a program from the privacy of home. One of our goals is to help each individual, working from home with one of our nutritionists or dietitians, achieve a weight and a comfort level that makes it fun to leave the house again.
