As you all know my name is Amanda Van Orden, and for those of you that only know Lori, she is one of my bestest friends. We actually met on my first date and then over the years kept running into each other and have forged a really strong friendship. I am married to the love of my life, Jared, and we have been married for 5 1/2 years.
We live in Utah and have the cutesest dog ever. 
He is a black pug, his name is Winston and he is my baby! Jared and I are currently trying to adopt a baby and are hoping that we will be placed with a child soon. Currently I work as a nurse at the county health department. In my spare time I enjoy running, playing soccer, reading, photography, organizing and cleaning my house, being with family/friends, and playing the piano...oh, and shopping, much to my husbands dismay. ;) I got involved with Fit In Six through Lori as we participated in a similar competetion a little over a year ago. We liked it so much that we decided to tweak it and keep running it ourselves. I have always enjoyed a fairly healthy and active lifestyle. My biggest weakness is my addiction to chocolate. I have to work REALLY hard at curbing my chocolate needs and Fit In Six defnitely helps with that. I also enjoy Fit In Six because it's a well rounded program and helps me get my body the nutrients it needs, helps motivate me to get the exercise I need and also encourages me to develop my spirituality. Right now I am motivated by Lori's and my goal to run the Ogden Marathon in May. Training makes me focus so much more on this aspect in my life. I'm excited to run it!

Hi there! Hmmmmm. What can I tell you about me? I'm married to the best guy in the whole world, my husband Todd, and we've been married 5 years. He is my best friend and we do everything together and always have a blast. I work as a cookbook editor, I've even written a few cookbooks myself, and I love it, though editing books full of recipes and yummy looking pictures all day makes me hungry! I love to shop, watch movies, reality TV (the good ones like Survivor, Amazing Race, and my guilty pleasure, The Bachelor), good food, being with my hubby, hanging out with our family and friends, playing games, exercising, reading, and tons of other stuff. Oh, and I am amazingly addicted to the tv show LOST. I have a blog if you want to see pictures or read my silly comments. Feel free to check it out at babblingbarlows.blogspot.com.
Have a great Saturday!
Hi all, my name is Amy Stevens. I am 25 years old and have lived in Utah my entire life. I was born in Salt Lake, grew up in Morgan and now live in South Ogden and love it. I am a nurse at the county health department, with Amanda, which is how I got started with Fit in Six. We also graduated from nursing school together at Weber State. Once, we were even involved in a drive by shooting together!! If you don't believe me, check out Amanda's blog! Anywho, I currently live with my sweet (and handy) boyfriend Tom, we have been together for four years. We have two big babies - Bonkers and Rowdy. They are dogs, boxers, in case you were worried. I enjoy music (listening and playing), movies, reading, playing games with family and friends, camping and having lots of fun!! I do NOT enjoy exercising, but I am working on that. This is my 3rd round of Fit in Six and I do enjoy it as I feel it is a realistic, easy and fun way to work on being healthier everyday. I especially enjoy doing it with all of you!! Well, I wish you all good luck and have a wonderful day!!
My name is Joni Ellis. I was raised in Ogden, UT and moved to Fort Worth, TX over 4 years ago. I have been married for almost 7 years to my wonderful husband Craig. We have two kids. Brooke is almost 4 and Parker just turned 2. I am able to be a stay-at-homer, which I really enjoy most days. I also love to read, sing, play the piano, and act. I get to be involved at the community theater every once in awhile. I went to high school with Lori and have been able to keep in touch over the years. She introduced me to the "Fit in Six" program. I am enjoying it so far. I just wish I hadn't picked chocolate as my addiction. Those are 5 points that I miss getting most days. Good luck to everyone!
Hi Everyone, this is "the Lori" that Amanda refers to in her introduction. I'm grateful to have that crazy girl in my life (Amanda=always entertained) and even more grateful that she's been willing to totally take over the day-to-day logistics of Fit in Six so that I can completely concentrate on getting healthy. I've been married for 6 years to my best friend Van...we've had two children together, Jaylee (5) and Reagan (5 months)... I'm still trying to lose the baby weight from the last pregnancy so this round of Fit in Six comes at a great time. I enjoy running (cause, remember? Amanda=entertainment, running with Amanda=enjoyable gut-wrenching-body-torture-of-training-for-a-marathon), playing the piano, blogging, reading, spending time with my family, shopping, organizing and generally finding anything new and interesting to do. Hope everyone enjoys and is doing well!! (welcome back, Amy!)
