What is the Health Questers Page?

If you are reading this post, and DID NOT find this blog through my main blog, you may be confused as to what this blog is. First of all, thank you for your interest and let me tell you what the Health Questers Page is. My name is Becky Leger and I have a blog you can find at www.beckylegerhealthquest.blogspot.com. The title of this blog is "My Quest to be Healthy in an Unhealthy World". The link to this blog is located on the right side of this page.

Recently, I posted about the effectiveness of working on your healthy living goals as a group rather than "going it alone". In my posting about Dr. Hyman and Pastor Warren's collaboration, I told you about the success they saw in creating small groups of people looking to lose weight and live healthfully. Accountability and support are so important in reaching our goals. It works for me, whether it's been training with a partner for an upcoming event or blogging for you. Knowing that someone else is interested in my progress motivates me. The proof is in the pudding when you figure I've lost ten pounds since starting this blog a month ago...lol.

This same concept exists all over, beachbody.com, jillianmichaels.com, to name a few. These are perfectly good sites with good information, and good programs, but you have to pay for the daily support pages that basically do what I am proposing. But it's really only about connecting people to each other, so why pay for that when social media is at our fingertips? I decided to dedicate space on my blog for just that. It's called the "Health Questers Page" and it's free!

The "Heath Questers Page" is actually a separate blog linked to my main page. Each person who would like to be a "Quester" will be given the ability to "author" posts for the blog that relate to information on clean eating or other nutritional information. They may also post links to articles, tips, motivational snippets and encouraging words, exercise routines or videos, or general healthy living information to share with the other Questers (no copy-write material please).

Now, this isn't a weight loss plan, so it's largely up to you to set your goals and work toward achieving them. What you will find here is a collaborative effort to share healthy living information and a place to be accountable to your fellow "Questers" as you work toward your goal. Here you will find information, motivation, and inspiration. Perhaps you'll be the source of all three for someone else!

To get started simply let me know via email (healthquest@sigct.com) that you're interested in becoming a Quester. On the launch date of the new blog you will notice a page assigned to you (limited to the first 20 Questers).That page should be a place where you would write a little bit about yourself and what your health goals are. Refer to my "Then and Now" post for a sample of how this might look.

Please email me (healthquest@sigct.com) with your interest in participating as soon as possible, as personal pages will be limited to the first 20 Questers. The anticipated launch date for the Health Questers Page is May 18, 2012.

I am really looking forward to working with the Questers. I know I will learn as much, or more, from them as they will from me. I can't wait to hear from you! Sign up now and start your own Health Quest!!!

As always, I recommend you check with your doctor before beginning new exercise or nutritional regimens.
