Welcome to DHS's Lighten Up in 100 Days!

Hi and welcome to the first posting of our Lighten Up in 100 Days blogspot! This is the primary way I'll be giving you information and coaching you toward your weight loss goal through the summer months!

I'm new to writing a blog, and you may be new to reading one, but I bet we both get the hang of it pretty quickly. I know I could talk all day about healthy living, so my biggest challenge will be to keep these short and limited to small "bites" of information at a time.  I hope you will feel comfortable leaving comments from time to time.....either to add to what is printed here or to ask a question ..or just to offer your experience and support to other members. You can write a comment and leave your name, or write anonymously...whatever is comfortable for you.

And how many others are there? Nearly 200 of the 100 Milers have signed up to learn about weight management !!! That's about half of our walkers. When you think about the impact all of you who are committing to making healthy changes can have on your own health, your families, and your friends, it's pretty incredible.

So today, I am testing the "blog -o-sphere" to make sure everyone can access this site....I want to thank everyone who has sent their miles in already and congratulate you on taking real steps to change. 

And change will be our topic tomorrow......because getting lighter...losing weight...means we are going to have to change some of the things we are doing now. I'll be posting again tomorrow afternoon. See you then!
