We always love having new faces join us- below is some information about our board, our current challenge and some tips for getting started.


"The past gives us experience and memories;
the present gives us challenges and opportunities;
the future gives us vision and hope."
~ William Arthur Ward


Some tips to help you get started:
EXERCISE is vital to any weight loss plan. Exercise will help you reach your goals quicker, and enable you to begin living a healthier lifestyle. Your energy level will improve drastically and you'll feel better!


WATER is another key element. It helps you feel full, and it also causes the fat to break down easier in your body (and leave!). Thirst often disguises itself as hunger, so when you feel hungry, try drinking a glass of water first. Wait 10-15 mins and if you are still hungry, THEN have something to eat. The standard daily recommendation is 64 oz, OR one-half your body weight in ounces.

JOURNALLING can be a major help in determining what changes need to be made in your food plan, as well as in your mindset. By journalling your food, your moods, and your reactions to different situations, you can easily see patterns that need to be broken, and begin the steps to do so. A good journal on line can be found at http://www.fitday.com

MODERATION is a huge component. And becoming our board motto! There
