Here at CL, we get a lot of pitches for people promoting wellness and fitness classes. Once in a while one pops up in our inbox that is truly a great opportunity for an affordable fee — something special, a great public service.

Such is the case with University of South Florida's Weight Management Program. USF's Health Management Group offers a 10-week weight management program beginning Feb. 3.

The program focuses on lifestyle changes. Each session is designed to teach psychological skills to help modify behavior that undermines weight loss.
