"You pick up a magazine, and it [says], 'Lose seven pounds in seven days.' Seven days is not what we're talking about. We're talking about your life," Overton said. "You can't make some choices for a week and think you're going to revolutionize the way you live. I really think that the way to help people make a change is to do it in small steps with community support."

Among the group's long-term goals is to serve as a clearinghouse for people to find healthy activities and information.

"We all have the passion in our hearts to help others in this community," Canada said. "We're not trying to tell people what to do. We're just trying to inspire them and lead by example. We can have a healthy, active community out here for a long time."
