Let's assume it's going to be 2016 in a scant 12 months...I'm resolving to be at my goal weight by then.  The 55 lbs I need to lose are going to be gone & I'm going to be a mere shadow of myself.  The "diet bet" website is a fun way to get there...feel free to join in at any time...you are only betting on yourself & frankly I am feeling like this year for me it's a good bet.  The social accountability is an important element for me & will hopefully keep me motivated.  Thanks for helping me along in this journey.
