ShipShape Overview
The BUMED-Approved Weight Management Program Healthy Living

ShipShape is an 8-week program that reflects the current state of knowledge on weight loss. The program presents a healthy and permanent approach to weight loss and is designed for all adults who are overweight. It is specifically designed to assist active duty members in meeting DON body composition standards. However, it is also an appropriate intervention for family members and retirees who exceed healthy body weight or have weight-related health problems. The program provides basic information on nutrition, stress management, physical activity, and behavior modification techniques to lower and maintain a healthy body weight.

Active Duty Personnel interested in participating in the ShipShape Program during duty hours or those who are enrolled in the Fitness Enhancement Program must obtain a recommendation and referral from their Commanding Officer (CO) or Officer in Charge (OIC) through their Command Fitness Leader (CFL). The CFL is responsible for tracking attendance of command-referred personnel through PRIMS.

Weight control is difficult for many individuals. This program will provide those who attend with the best available tools in order to be successful. ShipShape Coordinators at the local level are encouraged to implement their programs as a collaborative effort with the MTF Nutrition Division, Psychology Service, Physical Therapy Department, MWR Fitness Facility, or other local resources whenever such expertise can enhance the quality of the program.

For futher information regarding the ShipShape program, contact the Health Promotion Department at your local MTF. Comments or general questions can be emailed to the ShipShape Program Coordinator or call (757) 953-0962 DSN 377
