Click here to join The 30 Pound Club—you can sign up for The Message from Dr. Chet at the same time.


The 30 Pound Club is a group of people who want to lose 30 pounds—some more, some less—in the next six months.

There’s no special meal plan, but we’ll talk about different approaches to eating less in a healthy way.

There’s no special exercise program, but we’ll cover different types of exercise—the plusses and minuses.

The purpose is to help you find a way to lose weight and get fit that fits you—your unique body and your real life—and then stay motivated and focused on your goals.

One and Done: That means that all who join are going to change their lifestyle—for good—to get to the weight and fitness level they want for the rest of their lives. There will be no more weight loss resolutions next year, because you're going to do this one more time and then you're done for the rest of your life. You'll have a lifestyle that allows you to maintain your healthy body.

What's your target weight? Find the healthy weight range for your height on the Body Mass Index Chart. You'll find even more good Health Info in that section—workouts, diets, and more.
