The Healthy Edge has been such a phenomenal success here with The Edge Magazine that we have chosen to continue it by featuring some of the AMAZING people in our area!

Getting healthy and then staying there is not as easy as it might seem and that is why we are trying to create a community right here in Uintah Basin where we can draw on one another's experiences, successes, and yes even failures!

By sharing our goals, hopes, dreams, fears, successes and failures then we are able to discover that we are not alone!  In fact we find that there are many other men and women in the same boat as us who need the extra support in order to reach their goals!

We encourage you to send us your stories of success and include all of your details INCLUDING THE FAILURES so we can all become a healthier Basin!
WE'RE ALL LOSERS!
