Allentown area fitness folks...

I wasn't really sure how to title the topic, but The Morning Call (Allentown based newspaper) has a weekly feature called the Weekly Workout Winner.  I don't know that anything is won exactly, but you submit info about yourself and your exercise activities, etc... and I guess they pick a winner based on their submissions.  Here is the one for this week...

There are so many of you who exercise regularly and have made it such an important part of your post WLS success, so I have attached a link to the submission form.  A lot of us our relatively private people, but if you are someone like I described above, submit your info.  You deserve the recognition.  Let the non-WLS public see that surgery isn't a quick fix and that you need to live a healthy, active lifestyle to succeed.  Here is the link....

Good luck if anyone submits their info.

Thanks for the info.....there most certainly are a LOT of people on this board who deserve a LOT of recognition for their fitness levels!

Your comment about making the public see that surgery is not the quick fix...so many of us (myself included) whine and complain about how none of the public "understands" it.....but how many of us really take the time to put ourselves out there PUBLICLY....

Hmmmm...

I always read these stories and get inspiration from them.  I have thought about submitting a story, but am not good at talking about myself.. yes, I said it.  LOL

I wouldn't know what to say, but I've started to think about it.

Look, I'm not saying I had certain people in mind when I posted this, BUT.... I'm glad you both responded.  Seriously think about it, both of you!  There are more of you out there too.  If you're aren't in the Allentown area, check with your local paper, I'm sure they have a feature like this too.
