Over 1,000 Strong and Still Growing

April 20, 2026

We’re excited to share that over 1,000 people have now joined the 2kg Challenge!

Thank you to everyone who has signed up, shared the program, and supported others to take part. More and more people across Western Sydney are taking small, positive steps to improve their health.

Many people are hearing about the program through their GP, or after having a blood test at Blacktown or Mt Druitt Hospital that shows they may be at risk of prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. We thank GPs and health services for supporting people to take early action.

Here is what one GP has said about the program:

“I have been referring patients who need assistance to make lifestyle changes to the 2kg Challenge, and they have found the program very useful in supporting them to achieve a 2kg (or more) weight loss. It is great that there are no cost barriers to getting care and that patients get regular support to help keep them motivated. My patients have loved the program and the improvements in their health, and it is a great tool for a busy GP to help improve overall health and wellbeing.”
— Dr Michelle Crockett, Riverstone Family Medical Practice

The 2kg Challenge is based on a simple idea: small changes can make a big difference. Losing just 2kg can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by around 30%.

If you know someone who may be at risk of, or living with prediabetes and above a healthy weight, you can invite them to join the free 8-week 2kg Challenge here.

You can also follow us on Facebook for updates, tips, and stories from the community.

Together, people across Western Sydney are moving towards better health, one step at a time.
