The Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation -- made up of 160 retailers, food and beverage makers, restaurants, NGO's, trade organizations and others -- has launched a national "Together Counts" campaign
to encourage families to eat and engage in physical activities together to counter obesity and promote good health.
Families will be provided with tools to track their progress and compare
them with the results in their communities and across America. The program will also offer rewards and incentives to provide positive reinforcement. The campaign's site, togethercounts.com, will
provide families with tips and advice for participation, and a mobile app will give participants access to log and track their progress anywhere.
