Don't be intimidated by your weight-loss goal.
Instead think "one pound at a time".

Nobody loses 10, 50 or 100 pounds. We all lose one pound at a time.
CELEBRATE each loss, whether big or small- even the half-pounders.
They all add up!

We are also having a bring a friend promo. Current members bring a friend Saturday that sign up, enter in a raffle. Also 5K starts at 11:15, just show up and walk with us. :)

            My STARS who have lost more than 8000 pounds in 2012! I have helped motivate seven people to lose 100 or more pounds thus far. I also enjoy my team members and territory manager! Together these individuals have helped to keep my personal motivation as well as seeing this as more than simply a job - they are my family!
Why should I / potential new member come to your meeting  
            The STARS (the title I give to my members) are incredible! If you want a meeting where you will always be supported and understood, you should come to my/our meeting. I will do everything I possibly do to help you on your lifetime journey. No question, emotion, experience, or frustration goes unnoticed! We are here to support you!

Warm Lentil Salad

I made this today...I am pleased to say it was really very good... I also added a few kalamata olives... which added a few points plus values... but lots more flavor. :-)

Warm Lentil Salad

Makes 6 servings, ¾ cup for a serving

1 cup lentils
3 cups water
3 strips center cut bacon
1 onion, chopped
parsley (optional for garnish)

For dressing:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste

Heat lentils and water in a saucepan until boiling. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes or until lentils are tender. Drain lentils and put back into saucepan.

In a frying pan, cook bacon until crispy over medium heat. Drain bacon on paper towel and pour most of the fat out of the pan. Chop bacon. Add onions and cook until browned.

When lentils are done and in warm saucepan add bacon, onion, and dressing ingredients. Be sure to add lots of salt and pepper. Serve with a parsley garnish if so inclined. Enjoy!
