Coming next week: A Fresh Start to Weight Loss Challenge
What does September signify for you? Maybe it’s the beginning of the fall season, where many embrace the crisp, cool weather and enjoy watching the leaves change color. Or maybe it marks the start of the school year, which means getting organized and back into a routine again. Whatever this time of year means to you, there’s no better time than now to set new weight-loss goals and reaffirm your commitment to improving your health and well-being. And it doesn’t have to be difficult — with a little organization, forethought, and creativity, you’ll find fun and exciting ways to stick with your healthy eating plan. The good news is we’re here to help! Whether you’re a newbie on the Beach or are looking for a chance to re-strategize your weight-loss plan, our Fresh Start to Weight Loss Challenge will keep you motivated along the way. This 6-week Challenge will encourage you to break new ground with your goals by helping you think outside your regular recipe repertoire, inspiring you to try different forms of exercise, and challenging your cooking skills in the kitchen. We’re excited to kick-off our annual Fresh Start to Weight Loss Challenge and look forward taking this exciting journey with you! Come back next week and check out this message board to get started!

Great to see everyone here! Should be a good challenge. Widower 1, if this contest is like the others, they will give us tasks each week to do for the week, and some way to report on them. You do the task, report in, and that's pretty much it. I'm sure Admin Richard will give us more direction as the week goes on. Just remember to check in here to see what's new! (That's my biggest area of fault, I forget to check in!)
Good luck everyone!

are hearty souls-- spent almost all my life there BUT after fighting
the winter weather it's just good to make it home and stay put. Yes,I
do know about the skiing but I do think the tendency is to cacoon ourselves
So different now that I live in Florida but the heat is an obstacle
too--- my walking is now at night but that is getting better as the
temps begin to cool GREAT seeing you here and on E and F too
I am so looking forward to a 6 wk challenge. I was doing well when I first startedSBD and I kind of fell off. I will be following you all the way.
Thanks
Widower1 - It's real simple. Each week on Monday morning, Richard will post a challenge for the week (there will be 6 all together). Log in, read the challenge, and then during the coming week post back on that challenge's message thread about how you met the challenge. Tell us the recipes you tried, how you liked them, what your experience was, etc. And don't forget to read all the other challenge replies-we learn so much from each other! On the following Monday morning, Richard announces the winner of the previous week's challenge and posts a new discussion that explains the NEXT challenge. Try to post at least one experience each week in order to qualify for that grand prize at the end of the 6 weeks. HAVE FUN!!!!!
Hi Everyone
I am excited to start the fall challenge. I have been having difficulty navigating on the boards! I am hoping to find my way around with this challenge. Heading out for my morning walk and starting myself back on Stage One.

I'm in! While traveling this week by plane I read Dr. A's. Heart Health Revolution. Goodness, I thought I understood my risk factors for my health, but this book was easy to understand and really opened my eyes. This challenge is my official commitment to life style changes that simply must happen. I agree with one posting below, I get the topics for the challenge but how are we held accountable?
What a GREAT teleconference too! It was refreshing to discover that this untouchable "super hero" doctor actually craves bad foods, has lapses in willpower, and occassionally even <gasp> eats off-plan! WOW! He's just like US! Hehehe!
What fun, hope we get to do it again sometime!
And BTW- he is very approachable.

OH, by the way! I am going to be hosting the petting zoo and doing daily demonstrations for milking at the Fall Country Farm Fest in Payson (a nearby little farm community) next month. The family that puts on this grand annual event contacted me about it a few months ago. I just heard from her again this past weekend. She had gone to my webpage to pull information for a bio she is doing of me for HER webpage and for the signage that she is putting around the festival to advertise my little business. She saw your poem and is going to make it up, laminate it, and incorprate it somehow into the "decorating" of the milking area that I will be using! You will be famous! Several thousand people attend this small town festival every year!
