We welcome you and accept you as you are
Our aim is to provide you with the information and tools that you need¦
to explore your options when it comes to your weight, your physique and your health.
We're here to help you develop your dreams, plans and goals regarding these things.
We offer you a safe, secure and private site¦
where you can be yourself, and see yourself, free of the judgement of others. The only judge will be you, but we'll encourage you to go gently with yourself, and to make changes that are good for you physically and emotionally.
We will be honest with you...
We will offer you goals and advice that we believe will give you the best chance of success. Ultimately though, this site is for you, and we will respect the plans that you make and the goals you choose.
There is an old saying that "knowledge is power"...
We believe there is a lot of truth in this. We'll help you understand more about your body. You can then use this knowledge to make choices and set goals. If you need our help, we'll be there to help ensure those choices and goals are realistic for you. By setting realistic and achievable goals, you are far more likely to experience success as you attempt to meet these goals.
There is nothing like success to motivate and encourage one to stick to new habits.
The sad and demoralising flip side of this is that there's nothing like seeing your hopes, dreams and goals go out the window despite your best efforts to maintain, change or control your weight or your physique. measureme.com is here for you not only in your times of success, but also in your times of perceived 'failure'.
Controlling and maintaining your weight may be one of the most difficult challenges you will ever encounter. It requires lifelong commitment and work. measureme.com is here to hold you and be with you during these times as well. We won't force you onto the scales. We won't judge when your weight is going in the opposite direction that you want. We will gently encourage you to see the goodness that is in you, and to regain the strength that you need to review your goals, and commit to them when it is right for you.
And when new insights, or solutions, to the problem of weight control become available, we'll ensure that you get to hear about them.
measureme.com is here to empower you...
You can be right when it comes to your weight, your physique and your health.
measureme.com is here for your children
Children are on a journey towards adulthood. They are not little adults. measureme.com recognises the unique and special position of babies, children and young people. We have created a place where you can find reliable and sound information about the weight, growth and health of the young people that you care about.
More than this, as a measureme.com member, your child's weight and growth will be monitored and analysed using medically accepted tools. Their growth charts will be kept safely, securely and privately, for you to access at any time and place.
Children grow and change very quickly
measureme.com recognises this and will help you to compile, over time, a valuable visual and written record of your child at each age and stage, a record that you will have access to, and one day hand on to that child, so they can share insights into their growth and development with those who are important to them.
measureme.com supports and encourages parents in taking responsibility for their child's weight and growth...
We recognise the terrible dilemma that parents face in trying to manage their child's weight. You must encourage your child to be active and eat healthily. At the same time, you must not unduly emphasise your child's weight because of the risk of damaging their self-esteem. How can you tell if you are doing 'enough' for each individual child in your care?
measureme.com offers the steadygrow approach
We have developed the steadygrow approach to help you manage your child's weight and growth. This approach is based on our philosophy that you need to know what it is that you are trying to achieve when it comes to guiding your children to a healthy lifestyle and an optimum weight. This approach will help you to gain insight about the true extent of the problems you and your child face in regard to their weight.
By giving you flexible goals to aim for, measureme.com will help to motivate you as you support and encourage your child to change habits, and take on new challenges.
measureme.com will guide you in how to avoid making weight itself an issue between you and your child. At the same time we will help you to show them that their health is something important and under their influence.
