Welcome ELT Committee Members to the BetterU Blog!

Thank you for going through the Go Red BetterU Challenge this fall.  Thanks to you, we'll be ready when we officially launch the BetterU Makeover Challenge to our new eight women who will be selected next month.  Good luck as you go through the challenge right right now!

BetterU Buddies

I am so proud to be associated with the 12 women who have begun their health trek for better Heart Health with BetterU. We have Bev who knew she had high cholesterol and wants to lower it without meds. Katrina has high blood pressure that she carefully controls. Madeline has lost almost 40 pounds and is finding a new adventure in healthy eating. Mary is a bank president of 2 states and still makes time to exercise and eat healthier. Mary Ann hasn't missed walking one day since we started our project in early August. Kaye started in a walking club and is now hoola hooping once a week. Lynne has given up bread and sugars and feels much better and has more energy. Linda rides her bike to a walking class~ what dedication. Angela hasn't had the benefit of our weekly calls and meetings and is working hard anyway - 20 pounds so far. Anna has lost 9 lbs and is not enjoying sweets as much as she once did. Melissa is going to a personal trainer and has signed up Kaye and Bev. Danette has realized how her demanding job needs a balance and exercise has become her counter weight.


I am not doing as well as the other gals, but I am so inspired by them. I hear again and again from each one how prioritizing themselves as number 1 is the key. Eating more healthfully, working out and sometimes even taking deep breaths are ways that help. They stress balance, priority, preparation.
