States are using the Internet to get their citizens in shape, sending weekly emails to prod readers with exercise and diet tips. Seventeen programs are modeled after the six-year-old Lighten Up Iowa program, whose 24,000 participants lost 46,000 pounds in January.

Getting in shape really does help to make us feel better about life.  Now, LIME has gotten in the groove and created Walk Out!  You just log in your miles and it lets you know what you are doing for yourself and the planet.  Two birds with one stone!!

Just prior to Thanksgiving 2006, I resigned my office position and am in the processed of making a total lifestyle change.  I have converted my housecleaning to eco-sense cleansers so the indoor air no longer has the chemical linger to it.  My husband and I are selling our city home and will be moving to an acreage in northeast Iowa. The land has not been farmed for over 20 years.  I will be starting a garden and will participate in farmers markets offering home grown and organic produce.  Eating healthier and exercising dailey is the key to healthy living.  Yeah!

I agree and applaud you.  What a change you are making.  What made you change your entire lifestyle.  It seems drastic to move Iowa.
