Information About FriendShape
FriendShape promotes healthy nutrition and regular physical activity towards college students by maintaining group accountability through a social network. This group is specifically designed for UNCG students who are not currently physically active, or students who are moderately physically active and want to become more physically active. Success is not solely based on weight loss or weight maintenance. Success is based on meeting new people, increasing minutes of physical activity and achieving personally set goals. FriendShape will act as your accountability team to help you become more nutritionally aware of the foods you consume and increase the amount of physical activity you participate in each week. Most importantly, FriendShape will not and cannot act as a personal training group. Group leaders will do their very best to inform group members of all the resources already available to students at UNCG such as personal training at the Rec Center, or the campus nutritionist. For more information on this progam, please e-mail Jeff Milroy at jjmilroy@uncg.edu.
