What makes it easier for YOU to keep your resolutions?  A lot depends on your personality type.  If you are a leader personality, you will do best by organizing a group and leading it.  If you are a sparkler, joining a group and making it fun with socializing will be your path to weight loss.  The supporter personality will succeed by finding other folks who need help and doing the healthy eating and exercise plan with them to encourage them.  The analyst personality will want the charts and food lists and will likely be more successful by figuring out what works and going it alone.

Knowing who you are will give you clues about how to make a plan that suits you.  Make it easy on yourself!

Eating to live and  living for Christ,
