How have the NSLS speakers or SNT meetings helped you achieve your goals or changed your life?:
NSLS has helped to jump start my S.M.A.R.T goal. The speakers gave me inspiration to get started. The SNT meetings gave me accountability and motivation to maintain my efforts in obtaining my overall goal. This will change my life if I continue to hold on to what I have learned to live a healthier life.
