Are you a health role model?
We're thinking of starting a new feature of inspirational "models of health" who have achieved a health or fitness goal recently. Did you quit smoking? Lose 20 pounds? Complete your first marathon, walkathon, bike race, etc.? Lower your cholesterol? Learn to swim? Finally able to do that difficult yoga pose?
