Favorite Recipes

Hey everyone. I totally forgot that it was Thursday, so I'm sorry for any confusion that I may have caused. This is the post that I would like you to post your favorite Fit In Six recipes on.
To get it started, here is one of my favorites!
Parmesan Potatoes
Red Potatoes - as many or as few as you would like
Spray Butter
Parmesan Cheese

Wash your potatoes and cut them in half. Spray the flat side with spray butter and then dip them butter side down into parmesan cheese. Place potates on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 30-45 minutes on 350 degrees. Then enjoy! It's super nummy, low in fat, and red potatoes count as a veggie!

To add your recipe, click comments and leave your recipe in the comments section. If you are having problems with it, please email me.

How NOT to Exercise

Although I might think about giving you extra points if you send me a picture of you exercising in one of those stellar outfits. ;)

Let's Get It Started!

Hello everyone and welcome to your first week of Fit In Six! I hope you are all excited to get started with this journey to a healthier life! Many of you have participated before, but we have a lot of first time participants, and we are excited to have all of you on board. Typically my friend Lori and I run this together, but we decided to take turns running the program and participating in the program because we love it so much. So Lori is participating this time and I have the honor of keeping things running. So at any time during the next 6 weeks, please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about food, exercise, etc. pertaining to the program. Each Sunday I will be emailing you all the weekly calendar. Each day you complete the task on the weekly calendar you get 5 points!
Just a couple of other housekeeping notes. If you know someone that is participating and is not getting the emails, please let me know ASAP so that I can get the emails to them. Secondly, if you would prefer that I use a different email address for you than the one that I currently have, also please let me know. Lastly, remember that in order to continue in the competition I need your money no later than this Friday January 18th. We have a great group participating this time and I'm so excited to hear about all of your successes!
Here is the weekly calendar for this week! Good luck everyone!
