We just joined the Livestrong program at the YMCA.
You not only learn the importance of excercise but
the importance of diet as well.
A dietitian spoke and gave recommendation on diet and physical activity.
All the information is provided in the links below.

thanks Linda....I know that we do not....we live in Canada in a smallish city with the biggest y around. I plan to mention this to the director although i know chances are slim. We are busy building a brand new Y and raising millions of dollars....but maybe someday....thanks again
