At firstthe weights were intimidating, so I hada trainer at Cary Street Gym show mehow to work the machines and giveme a great workout after eachsession. Now I don't feel as bad whenI munch on pizza late at night"Charolette, 20

The Health Nut

"I grew up in a family that cooked, sowhen I became interested in learninghow to cook healthy meals, pickingout flavors to blend was a lot easier. Ifyou want something green, pair it withsomething sweet, like avocados andstrawberries or celery andcranberries."Owen, 22

The Success Story"I grew up 'the fat kid' in school and

there's a lot of pressure in today's

world to have this perfect image, eat

right and be healthy. Start by eating

lean meats (turkey, chicken, shrimp)

and vegetables on a daily basis, and

getting some form of exercise, you'll

find yourself feeling healthier and

stronger everyday. The rest is up to

you."

Cameron, 21
