About weigheddown

For almost a year, Californian reporters and photographers followed a group of young people to better understand the challenges, fears and hopes of dealing with weight problems.

This blog accompanies that project, offering a forum to discuss obesity, nutrition and fitness.

To read the stories and view the photos and audio slideshows, go to www.bakersfield.com/weigheddown.

Several Californian staffers worked on this project. They include:

  • Reporting: Emily Hagedorn, Tara McLaughlin and Lisa Schencker
  • Photography: Henry A. Barrios, Casey Christie, Michael Fagans and John Harte
  • Design: Nicole Eure, Michael Fagans, Jeff Nachtigal and Davin McHenry
  • "Your Words" editor: Jennifer Baldwin
  • Editing: Lois Henry
