Calling all women- moms, chicks, sisters, divas, and teens:

Summer’s about over, and you’re probably heaving a sigh of relief to yourself.  Why?  Because the pressure to look awesome in a bikini is almost at an end, to be filed away somewhere in the back of your mind for next year.  With fall comes the addition of more layers of clothing- scarves, cardigans, trousers, tops that cover your belly.  Who’s going to notice if you pack on a few extra pounds?  Might as well take a break, relax, and live a little.  Right?

Nope.  Now, more than ever, it is important to try to stay on the healthy living wagon, no matter how often it tries to throw you off.

Prepare for a storm of gastronomic proportions

That’s right, there’s a storm headed in your direction, only instead of natural disasters, the chaos it spreads it the kind that zaps your willpower, energy, mental focus, self-esteem, decision-making abilities, and determination to live healthy.

Where do you get your inspiration?

Joining a weight loss group such as Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, or eDiets is one of the best ways to stay motivated, but let’s face it: we can’t all afford the membership fees.

Thankfully, Mamavation, an excellent online support group for fit moms (and all gals, really), has composed a list of the 50 Most Inspirational Healthy Tweeps. These blogs by women (and a few men) fall into many categories- registered dietitians, healthy homemakers, fitness gurus, whole-foods foodies, and many ex-morbidly obese dieters.
