So, I recently participated in a Biggest Loser-type competition at work. Unfortunately, I got sick about halfway through and wasn’t as motivated as I hoped to be. I lost one pound overall (bad, but at the same time good that I didn’t gain).
My trainer offered up these tips to help me kickstart the weightloss without […]

The price of baby food - the organic, affordable food that Paige eats - jumped 10 cents. Sugar has more than doubled in price for our small town. Gas is teetering on $4 a gallon. I talked about my fears last week . . . and they only seem to intensify as the days pass. […]

Melissa Garner lost 75 pounds on a radical diet plan. On Smart for Life, you eat six “cookies” each day and then a sensible dinner (their words). The cookies come in varieties like chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin and are packed with healthy ingredients like flax seed.
Melissa weighed 200 pounds and was a size 14 […]

I had a huge wake up call this week.

I certainly think so. […]

I live in a very small town. If I don’t know someone, chances are that someone else I do know does. So, needless to say, news travels with lightning speed here.
Recently, that was the case with news that wasn’t good. A father of three was playing basketball in the gym at Newtown High School. Basketball […]

Several months back, I tried the Peeled Snacks Go-Mango-Man-Go variety to review here on Fit Fare and was less than thrilled. The mango pieces had a funny smell that turned me right off. Being the honest reviewer I am, I said so. That was in September.
Then, last week, I received an email from Peeled Snacks […]

Who is health savvy?
Do you need a healthy gift for a health savvy person? Healthy people are into living well in all aspects of their lives. Health savvy people probably exercise frequently and maintain a fit physique (or are working toward a more fit body). They likely are conscious of what food they eat and […]
