We encourage you to join us as we celebrate ObesityHelp in 1998 and now. Many members will remember the screens shown in this video and will enjoy the walk down memory lane. If you're new, you'll like the strides and successes we've had during our 16 years with our members.
Please like and share on the video from our OH Facebook page.
We proudly present "Making the Journey Together for 16 Years" . . . . . . . .
ObesityHelp Staff are celebrating today and we would like for you to join us.
It was 16 years ago that our founder, Eric Klein, launched ObesityHelp.com. From January 9, 1998 through today, his mission has always been to the education, sharing of information and the support of our 700,000 members. Eric was a pioneer when he created ObesityHelp. ObesityHelp was created before Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube. Eric had a vision long before these sites were thought of.
The journey of ObesityHelp through the past 16 years has been rewarding for those of us that support Eric's mission. ObesityHelp was created, and still remains, dedicated to you, our members.
Please share what ObesityHelp has meant to you by replying to this post.
