Hi all, I haven't posted in awhile, but do check in with the boards often. I always find it encouraging to read your posts. I've lost -138 lbs since 3/28/05. Started surgery at 352, now weigh 214. Anyone want some encouragement to lose the next "chunk" of weight? I need to lose 14 lbs to get to Onderland and would love a challenge from some of you. Does anyone want to work with me to lose the weight? Email daily how it's going, maybe talk by phone, encourage each other on the last push, maybe post "Challenge" daily on the boards and check in? I'd love some help and encouragement to make good food and exercise choices for myself. Seems like I can eat almost anything without problems so the next bit of work has to come from good choices. Looking forward to hearing from some of you! blessings and hugs to you, Heidi

That is a good site. I went to that site, clicked on "emotions" and then went to the last article. It's called, "I sold my soul to the bathroom scale". It really spoke to me, and that in itself irritated me. I am getting rid of my scale. Becky

Thanks for posting this. Never seen it before but now I've book marked it on my internet and will be a regular visitor/reader. Thanks so much. Sandy

Thanks. I'm glad I am remotivating you. We all need encouragement and without it we will not be as successful as we could be. So last night, after going to CURVES during my lunch break yesterday, my husband decides he wants to go to GOLD's to work out. So I went with him last night to Gold's. Did 1 mile on the treadmill, 20 minutes of abs, 1 hour on the weight circuit and then 2 miles on the bike. I thought I'd be alot sorer today, but I'm not. Not planning to go to both in the same day, but I don't think it will hurt me too much. Sandy

Thanks Trisha!! you are so sweet. Jeannie
