Patch Takes It Off

Patch Takes It Off 2013: New Year, New You

Interested in joining the challenge? Write to natalie.davis@patch.com.

"That's it—I'm going to lose weight."  I hear that every year in early January. Heck, I say it every time the big ball in Times Square drops. There's a reason "lose weight" is a perennial part of New Year's resolution lists. More than 60 percent of the nation's population is classified as overweight or obese. And being overweight can lead to a host of potentially deadly maladies ranging from stroke to heart disease to Type 2 diabetes.   While it's easy to state the problem, solving it—taking off the pounds—is anything but simple, especially when one takes on the challenge alone. Resolve fails. Fatigue builds. Frustration can ensue. This year, we want a different result. Hence, the return of our weight loss campaign first started in 2011: …

Patch Takes It Off: Week One Down

Where our hero craves potato chips, walks off calories and encounters a personal trainer,

And if you don't mind my saying so, this girl is going to kick butt. Early in the week, my get-up-and-at-'em activity was limited to walking: Walking around the track at Parsippany Hills High.

Patch Takes It Off

Patch Takes It Off

Looking for bloggers to join in weight loss adventure...

I will admit it: I could stand to lose a few. Isn't that what everyone always says? There's a reason "lose weight" is always at the top or near to the top on people's New Year's resolution lists. But, those lists are fleeting. What about real change? That is what "Patch Takes it Off" is going to be all about. Starting July 4, participating Patch editors throughout the state (including myself) will begin chronicling their fitness exploits in their coverage areas. Expect profiles on local businesses whose goal is to get people in shape. Expect your editors' accounts on what they are doing to climb that high hill on the bike, or go the extra several miles around the track. Expect to see your neighbors getting involved. What's that? Well, we …
