Together Counts Campaign

The Together Counts™ campaign is a nationwide program of the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation, a 160-member organization committed to reducing obesity, particularly childhood obesity, and a Let's Move in School partner. The program aims to inspire active and healthy living and to get families and community members to take a simple pledge:

Eat at least one meal and do at least one activity together every week to help counter obesity and promote good health.

The ways to fulfill the pledge are endless. They can be as creative as organizing a neighborhood potluck followed by a game of football – or as simple as sharing a meal, then going for a walk. The important thing is that families do them together.

The overall goal is to find a balance between calories consumed and those burned, to strike this balance regularly, and to have some fun while doing it.

The Together Counts campaign provides families with tools to track their progress. Through a family profile page, families will be able to log their results and gain points. They will be able to compare their results with overall results in their communities and across America, engage in positive competition and share their successes, tips, and ideas.
