TheHealthier.me is growing
The Healthier Me started off as an exploration into a world I wanted to learn more about: Health. My original intentions for the site were completely different but they evolved. The first stage is what you're seeing now and there is more to come. The next step is getting more people involved in TheHealthier.me by adding more contributors.
Introducing Tim and Liz
Tim and Liz are happily married and gave birth to their first baby a few months ago. After watching and hearing about me go through a couple rounds of P90X and Insanity, they told me they would like to lose some weight and wanted my help. Needless to say, I was super excited to hear that.
After chatting with Tim a few times and tossing ideas back and forth, he thought it would be a great idea to have a completely open coaching relationship on this site. He and his wife would blog about their experience and I would blog about coaching them (talk about accountability!). We all decided to start after Liz received the okay from her doctor.
More about Tim
A web designer extraordinaire by day and a smart ass by night, Tim is the master designer behind this very website.
During a brief email exchange Tim told me he's 278 pounds. His general goals are:
- weigh 250lbs or less
- toning up
- lose his spare tire (belly and back fat)
More about Liz
With maternity leave over, Liz is getting back into the swing of things at work. She's also still recovering from giving birth. Liz told me she currently weighs 163 pounds and her general goals are:
- weigh 140lbs (or less)
- tone her stomach and arms
Where do we go from here?
The next step is to figure out which workout program is best for Tim and Liz based on the time they have available and what results they want to see. We're also going to set up more specific goals for both of them to reach for. Look for those in future posts! In the meantime, I'd like to let Tim and Liz expand on their brief introductions on their own.
Welcome to TheHealthier.me Tim and Liz! I'm happy to have you on board!
