All about me

Hi there! My name is Betsy, and this is my healthy living/weight loss/fitness blog. I'm no doctor, not a registered dietician (although if I had to do it all over again, I would have considered going down this path), really not affiliated with the medical profession at all.

However, I am a new mom. My beautiful baby boy Nicholas was born last December. He is an absolute doll and the single greatest thing I ever did.
But with the cute new baby comes the not-so-cute new baby weight. (See picture below, complete with terrified mom-to-be expression.)
Which really brings us to why I'm here. First and foremost, I want to use this blog to hold myself accountable. I used to belong to Weight Watchers, where I weighed in every week. But now that I'm doing it on my own (still following the old WW materials, just not going to meetings every week), I don't have anyone to be accountable to for my success. So now I have you!

Second, I find reading about others' success SO inspiring. So I hope that you find what I have to say informative or inspiring as well. I plan to talk about everything from healthy eating to exercise, everything that I'm doing to lead a more healthy life and be a good example for my son. And I hope that you'll share your thoughts with me as well!

So that's me in a very little nutshell. Here's to a healthy life!!
