EAT WELL

Welcome to our attempt to get that eating and exercise plan back into action. I feel better when I eat right and exercise but I still don't do it as consistently as I would like. And I know I am not alone! So to help us all get going again, we are going to EAT WELL together.

Eating Well shows you how to put together an eating and exercise plan that works for you. It's 8 weeks of self-discovery that begins with the Eat Well System. There won't be a lot of calculating and calorie counting but you do need to write down what you eat and check in once a week. We hope that the commitment will help keep us all on track.

Getting Started
To get started, you will need to join our mailing list at yahoogroups.

You can just "listen in" for awhile if you'd like. When you are ready, you can start the program.

Next, you need a weekly journal so that you can keep track of the food you eat during the day.

Now you need a goal. Check the weight ranges and pick your first goal weight, something you can reach in eight weeks, probably one to two pounds per week (less is perfectly fine). Experts recommend that your initial goal be no more than 10% of your present weight - an amount that makes a big difference in how you look and feel.

And lastly, to help you fill out your weekly journal, you need the points chart and points calculator.

I think that's it to get started. If you have any questions, please email me or call me (Cheri) at 949-215-4678. Good luck!

Important Notes
1. Rapid weight loss (more than 1 1/2 lbs to 2 lbs per week) may cause serious health problems.
2. Consult your physician before starting any exercise or weight loss program.
3. To promote long-term weight loss, choose a program with healthy food choices and increased physical activity.
