A personal trainer! Medical guidance! A customized plan to get in shape!
Once again WAFB and our partners, Our Lady of the Lake Physician Group and BREC, will provide 9 contestants each with a nutritionist and a personal trainer, as we document their progress and share their successes and struggles through on-air commercials and on-line.
Our own Jeff Morrow heads up a brave and diverse group of WAFB viewers who want to shape up. Meet them here and follow them in the weeks to come as they learn how to live a healthier lifestyle.
Their stories are diverse ... their experiences and results will be different. Keep track of the progress all of our Shape Up Showdown participants are making in these online diaries. Words of encouragement are welcome!

BMI CalculatorType in the specified numbers to get your Body Mass Index (BMI) measured instantly. BMI is an index of a person's weight in relation to height. It does not directly measure percent of body fat, but provides a more accurate measure of overweight and obesity than relying on weight alone. BMI values apply to both men and women, regardless of their age, frame size, or muscle mass. These values do not apply to athletes and body builders, pregnant and nursing women, frail or elderly persons or persons under 18. People who are overweight or obese have a greater chance of developing high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke and certain cancers. BMI by itself is not diagnostic of an individual patient's health status, but health risks increase gradually as BMI values increase.
