About three months ago I convinced my sister to go on a diet with me. My sister begrudgingly agreed. We started with small goals like “lets go a week without bread” and it spread to “I’m walking every day this week”. Well, 12 weeks later and my sister has lost 13 pounds and I’ve lost 6 (I know my 6 is not very impressive but I’m only trying to lose 20 total so that is like 1/4 the goal so ease up). We haven’t really used a plan but we have discovered the power of accountability. I can’t lie to my sister. I mean I could but she’d just call me a liar and then I would know I was busted so it is kind of pointless. During this time we’ve attracted other people who would like to join our circle of support and craziness. So many others that we launched a new blog; Chasing The Scale.

We don’t have any special secrets and we don’t have any special plan. We are just sharing our challenges, our successes, healthy food and recipes we like and supporting each other and our readers. Getting you and/or your family healthy and staying healthy is challenging and unless you were born with a natural hatred for food it is an uphill battle most days.

I invite you to check it out. It is a young blog but we would love your support, input and ideas. Keep your eyes open for blog carnivals (I want to do a healthy recipe carnival) and great product reviews and give-a-ways.
