From family outings and support to new workouts and recipes, it’s evident that our Choose To Move real women are taking the necessary steps to achieve great things during this 12-week challenge.
With a few weeks under their belt, these ladies are experiencing both the exhilaration of positive change and the struggles that come with discipline, hard work and consistency.
Perhaps one of the most unique parts of this program is that real women have the opportunity to communicate with other real women. No matter where you are in this program, remember that fellow challengers are on your side…ready to cheer you on and give you the motivation that you may need! Many can relate to the obstacles you face and offer valuable advice while others will give praise on a job well done. I encourage you to rely on those who are “choosing to move” and offer support whenever you can.
I commend not only our seven real women on their commitment to this program, but the nearly 200,000 others who have registered for the Choose To Move Challenge.
I am privileged to work with each of these women and hope to provide valuable guidance as they navigate the 12-week Challenge.
Keep up the good work…your health and well-being depends on it!
Cheers!

At the end of any journey, it’s always nice to reflect on the experience and enjoy the exhilaration that comes with accomplishment. During the past 12 weeks, seven real women have opened their hearts and minds to women across the country. They’ve revealed struggles, shared empowering messages, offered valuable tips and served as genuine advocates for this program.
During the Choose To Move challenge, these women not only engaged in physical activity, they discovered a community of women who share a common goal – increase physical activity in order to develop a healthier lifestyle. Their success is a direct result of determination, commitment and the support they received from those in the Choose To Move community.
From a mom with three kids to a full-time college student to women in the workplace, our real women take on many important roles. And as women juggling multiple responsibilities, we want to be the best we can be - a common thread among women in America. However, in order to be the best for our families, we must do what’s best for ourselves. Our seven real women did exactly that! Each woman, in her own way, learned how to make time for physical activity and develop better eating habits!
For Ruann, Kara, Lisa, Melanie, Vernita, Kathleen and Zulema, the 12-week challenge has come to an end. However, the ultimate reality is that their life-long journey to maintain a healthy lifestyle has only begun. No matter where you are in this journey, I encourage you to rely on women in the Choose To Move community, as well as those around you. Take advantage of the Choose To Move program and turn this challenge into a way of life.
Dear Dr. Mieres:
About the only time I can find to walk is during my lunch break. Is it better to eat prior to or following a vigerous walk?
Thank you,
Ruth
Dr. Mieres,
I saw you on TV several months ago and while the face has changed some, the name surely was very familiar. I finally found out that you are a native of Trinidad and just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you and the great job you are doing.
I believe we attended the same high school in Curepe, Trinidad, SAGHS.
Keep up the good work.

Thank you for the encouragement - I am struggling to get to my target heart rate of 150, but I'm trying! At least I have been exercising every day and I'm learning so much about exerciseand nutrition. I've been eating my apple a day and high fiber cereal instead of sweet rolls for breakfast - I'm hoping that will bring down my cholesterol. I've discovered that it really stays with me longer than the sticky, sweet cinammon rolls too!
