~Chats with Lucy~ 

You may have read Lucy's Story on this site.  When Lucy was a teen she lost a lot of weight by cutting in half whatever she ate, choosing healthy foods, and doing fun active stuff.  After being successful at weight loss, Lucy decided that she wanted to help other kids to lose weight and be healthy, too.  She went to college and studied nutrition.  Now she is a Registered Dietitian! 

Ashlie RN also helps with the chat.  Ashlie was Lawrence's girlfriend, who used to be overweight, helped Lawrence to lose weight, and later became a nurse and helps kids lose weight.

Every Wednesday, either Lucy or Ashlie is in the new chatroom, from 7 pm to 8 pm ET (East coast USA time) 1900-2000 hrs.  This is 6 PM central time, 5 PM mountain time, and 4 PM west coast time, and 12 midnight UK time, 1 AM European time, and 9 AM in Australia (Brisbane).  Click here for a World Time Converter.  You can get to the new chatroom from either the Teens Area or the PreTeens Area, or by the link at the bottom of the home page.
