I think the pressure of being followed is one of the reasons I hadn't really put my blog info out there. I think I wanted to see some success of my own before I shared my story, but maybe my struggles are what might help more people. It's ironic how so many of us struggle with the same issues and somehow feel as if those same struggles are unique to us. So much so that we rarely find good friends we can share them with. I am fortunate to have good friends I can share these things with. This year will be our year to show not just our before pictures but many progress photos that lead us to goal. Thank you for sharing your journey. <strong>Thanks for the kind words and for stopping by!

I know, it's always a bummer when you see a blog go dormant. I understand, because there is a lot of hard work all around, but it's still disappointing. The support from all of us can go a long way!

I just wanted to let you know that I have a weight loss blog. It has been a wonderful experience and I only hope to inspire many to believe in themselves that they CAN lose the weight. I have lost 130lbs and kept it off for a year on weight watchers. I have fun reading honest posts from people on the same journey as me. I started running too and that has changed my life a lot. I even ran a 50 mile race. Anyways, cool blog. http://run4change.wordpress.com <strong>Another Weight Watchers success story. I'm really beginning to think I may need to look into them.
