This group is for the entire family to get HEALTHY and Fit through learning to eat better and exercise together. I've learned through the 60+ lbs. I dropped  that the key to losing the weight and successfully keeping it off is through what I eat, how much I eat and when I eat. As a parent of 5 adult children and 3 grandsons, it is very important that we model the correct behavior for our children. So if you want to put your family on the right path then you're in the right place!

As far we are concerned, excise is a dirty word. The only exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions, running down their friends, side-stepping responsibility, and pushing their luck.

Clear your mind of can'ts; Join us and play!
