As an avid fitness enthusiast who often looks for other activities other than the gym and sometimes needs a workout partner or just some motivation, I started this group to encourage others to eat clean, get lean, have fun and enjoy activities, exercise and maybe make some like-minded friends in the process.

Love to cook and eat? Do you seek healthier food choices? This is your group! Monthly gathering of friends to share healthier food potluck-style within a theme set by the host.

Dieters typically regain the weight they lost, in spite of the fact that they have strong motivation to change and full understanding of what they need to do. They can be smart, motivated, in control, and successful in all other areas of their life, but are repeatedly frustrated in their attempt to change their eating patterns.

This is an ongoing group that needs new members. We are foodies and we love to cook and entertain and this group gives us the opportunity to do all three.

Last fall, I began walking on Sunday mornings and discovered not only a greater appreciation for nature, but a much needed boost to my self-esteem and outlook on life. I even lost a few pounds, toned and strengthened my muscles, too. I feel so much better now and want to continue this journey with others that are willing to do the same. Nothing fancy, just …
