 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).
