What are your goals?
My goal is to help people achieve their weight management goals via sharing, learning, mentoring, and supporting each other. Overweight and obesity are a global problem with individual consequences.
What is your current exercise routine?
My exercise routine consists of fast walking and strength training.
What diets have you tried?
I don't believe in diets. I think diets are a short term solution, and, for the most part, don't work. I firmly believe making small changes in my lifestyle is the only way to see long term results.
What things do you want to do before you die?
Have time to relax and read, read, and then read some more.
What is your favorite book?
Choosing a favorite book is like choosing a favorite place to visit. It's not possible.

Lisa,

I am new to blogging, but so far this has been my favorite site! There are so many great ideas about nutrition, health, exercise...it is going to be a great resource as we launch our new HomeStretch HealthQuest. I'd love to get your feedback. We are beginning a new contest in August. http://web.mac.com/thehealthquest/iWeb/Site/Home.html
