Coppersmom,
Thank you so much for that cheer this morning! I've never received such thoughtful compliments from someone I don't even know. But I am not surprised because the DietBet world is full of so many encouraging people. I try to make comments that will encourage others as well because in my every day life, I am surrounded by people who have supported me in my journey. I've lost a total of 82 pounds over the course of 2 years. It started with losing for my wedding, then after the wedding, I went back up, and now I'm losing again and feeling great. I've done several 5k's in the past, but I ran my first whole 5k without walking on November 10th, 2013 with one of my best friends (she flew out here to San Francisco from Michigan to run alongside me-she does marathons).
I know you can run. It's truly about getting your brain to shut up and keep pushing, having the confidence to KNOW that your body can do it. Mind over matter. You got this!!

Hugs to all of you - Coppersmom, Robin and Tracy. Such beautiful women. Tracy B, your Friend Photo is lovely - what is the story behind your picture?

I recently lost my best (dog) friend, Copper. This picture was in his honor. I miss his snuggles.

Oh! So sorry about your Copper.

You were very kind to Tracy B. In taking the time to write an extra long note to her. Lots of people wouldn't take the time you did and just move past the blog. I see you are a foster parent as well. I'm an RN and used to work with Foster parents. What a big heart you have helping all those children. Thank you for making the world a better place!

How are you doing Robin? Still in it to win it? :) We have a week or so to go until our 3rd weigh in right? I haven't been on here very much checking in, I need to get better at it. Are you making your goals? I missed round 2, but might make round 3.

Thanks for all your kind words! I used to have an aunt that passed away who fostered kids....it takes a strong, caring and special individual to do that! You must be awesome!

coppersmom

Why thank you, But in the end, we still aren't the parents. You are, and you have a life long commitment to take care of your very special little one. Even when your little one is 18. You win hands down. I noticed you also joined the 6 month challenge. I am hoping the newness of this bet will get me going, but the long run of the other will help me finish and maintain. How about you?

Tracy B.

I am always up and down in my weight, I'm hoping this six month thing will do it for me too! I mean also the money we need it big time! My daughter has seizures and can have up to twenty a day! Her meds don't control them. We just take it day by day. She has a rare genetic disorder. I wouldn't change her for the world! I want to get rid of this weight once and for all!
