Camas and Washougal Mayors will host a screening of Weight of the Nation.

The mayors of Camas and Washougal are throwing their weight behind an HBO documentary. Organizers of the “Camas and Washougal on a Diet” will co-sponsor the film called, “Weight of the Nation,”  and a subsequent discussion.

The event features one segment of the four-part documentary on obesity in America. Attendees will be given tips and materials for managing a healthy lifestyle. The screening is July 11th, 2012 from 5 - 7:30 PM at Liberty Theatre in Camas.

Camas and Washougal on a Diet is a year long program designed to help residents shed pounds and adopt healthier lifestyle habits. The goal is to lose 10,000 lbs between the two cities of Camas and Washougal.  

The mayors of each city have an additional competition that involves area residents, including themselves, to compete against one another to win prizes, as well as the biggest trophy - better health.

The Challenge is web-site supported and the site is developed to aid participants in their goals. It features calorie and activity trackers, workout activities around the community, and helpful tips to stay motivated.

“Weight of the Nation” is a presentation of HBO and the Institute of Medicine, in association with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health. Cities around the nation are encouraged to host a screening.
