Do you need any training to be a coordinator?

No, if you can operate a TV and VCR you can be a coordinator.  The program is designed to run itself. It does not become just "one more thing for you to do."    "It is a good program. It’s easy.  There is so much more to it than losing weight."        Sue, Parish Nurse  St. Louis, Missouri

Is it hard to start a group?

No, people are excited and happy to join.  They often say "I was praying for something like this."

How have most people started groups?

They run an announcement in their parish bulletin with their first name and phone number or they go to an existing Bible study and show The Light Weigh Orientation Video.

Do you have to be Catholic to do The Light Weigh?

No, you do not have to be Catholic to do The Light Weigh.  We have had members of other Christian denominations do the program and they have loved it.  The Light Weigh is written from the Catholic perspective and is based on the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.  Participating in The Light Weigh is a great way to understand the Catholic Church and grow closer to Jesus.
