“We also need to congratulate you and Samar, and all the others involved in the project.  You delivered a well prepared, informative and achievable program.  We hope we can rub this off to fellow Rotarians. My hope is that we can eventually roll this out to our community.”

“Thanks for a great day and the professionalism of the team that has put this together in layman terms so that everyone can follow and put into practice. I believe that we can make this work with participation in one way or another of 100% of the club people.”

“On a personal level I am pleased to advise I have personally already lost two kilos and changed some aspects of my living style to remove visceral fat permanently... an interesting journey. Thank you all for the opportunities to live better / hopefully longer...”

“I have enjoyed the opportunity to act as Champion of the WDC in our club and I felt a sense of responsibility to convey the message of a healthy lifestyle and an awareness of how that can be achieved.”

“As excess weight is such a problem for our country in the increasing health budget and chronic diseases I’m pleased to be involved. I’m sure this needs to be an ongoing project and some facts to continue to motivate Rotarians to act positively is important.”
