It's estimated that more than one third of America's adult population, or 58 million people, are overweight. Now, a new website wants to help out.

The health-wise organization "Shape Up America" unveiled its new and interactive "body fat lab" today. It's a free, on-line resource to educate Americans about body fat!

The website is designed to help identify whether you really need to lose weight. It will figure out the percentage of body fat you have and offer suggestions to bring your fat level to a healthy reading.
