You.

We're so proud that we're going to have 130 municipalities, 90 neighborhoods in the city, all 43, School, District, Sarandos this county and to have our mayor. Kick it off and be the first city, the first municipality to be part of it, because we want to make sure we're the healthiest county in America and I think that's a goal we all want to have it.

B

Doesn't mean that healthy living is just about eating well and exercise.

B

It's about everything we do from the way that we plan our city to the development and how it occurs to protected bike lanes in enhancements in our parks, two programs and our rec centers that go beyond just the fun and games, but understanding whether that child is eating properly to the programs and our senior centers, where we can work with groups like the Arthritis Foundation to offer ty chief, all of the different components of what a city government does be on Parks and Rec, from planning in public works in all the different departments, working together to provide an opportunity for a healthy well-lived life.

B

It's.

Very exciting for me to come to a city and to a county like Allegheny at this point in time. I think this is a real tipping point for this county and that we will be the healthiest county in the country. We already moved up. So it's good news all the way around healthy.

Living healthy exercise, you know, make sure I know a lot of us has pittsburghers. We like to park our car right next to where we're going. You know, what's up the worst thing, a north park at the end of the parking lot and walk a little bit, get a little healthier you're going up one floor in the building. Take the steps two floors. Take the steps you need to take the elevator all the time, just little things we can do in our own personal lives.

B

When I swore and raised my right hand in january, I was the biggest that I've ever been on this earth and I jokingly said well, there's more to me to love, but it was embarrassing because for the first time my life I went to 240 pounds and I'll admit that I was 240 and through this program I am going to work to get to 190. That's my fighting weight.

B

That's my old hockey weight and I know that I can do that and lose 50 pounds and in the process become more healthy through it and I can tell you this I've already started. I've already lost 12, so I'm on my way of 38, more pounds to go.

C

You.
