A little about me:

Hi there. I’m Sahar (El-Hodiri) Aker – a veteran TV health reporter who traveled my way from the newsrooms of television stations in Texas, Iowa, and Kansas and somehow landed in the blogosphere. I still make TV appearances to talk about topics related to health and fitness.

As a journalist with a passion for healthy diet and exercise, I’m always looking for fun ways to do both. I’m a chocolate connoisseur ;-) but know I have to burn those extra calories and that it takes a constant effort to stay at a healthy weight.

The idea for FatFighterTV came to me after covering the obesity epidemic for years and seeing its effects on so many people, especially children – like pre-teens who now have diabetes and other “adult” health problems. Something needs to change now. Even making small changes… just changing ONE thing can help.

I wanted to create a place for people to find healthy tips and the latest news on diet, fitness, and the obesity epidemic, but I also wanted it to be fun. So along with original videos, the best information hot off the press, and interviews with top health professionals, you’ll also find contests, quizzes, and the Fun Factor – stuff that can make diet and exercise more enjoyable.

Bottom line – we need to reverse the obesity trend in this country. But whether you’re trying to shed some pounds or just health conscious, why not have a little fun along the way? Losing that unhealthy weight and keeping it off may not be easy, but enjoying the journey is half the battle.
