[Dailydrool] Evolution

[Esther Strom]

I'm interested in getting in on this too; I have a lot of weight to lose. If 
anyone is interested, I could set up a private Facebook group for us to keep in 
touch - Pounds for Hounds, anyone?

________________________________

Jackie - you are brave and honest and wonderful! I am overweight too and you 
finally have suggested the motivation that I need -- I am 62 and weight has been 
a lifelong struggle.  I pledge $1 for every pound you lose and will give another 
$1 to Ohio Basset Rescue; further, for every pound that I lose now that I have 
found the best motivation, I will double my gift to OBR. TWO rescues will be 
helped because you are so courageous! I wish I had thought of this, and am SO 
happy that you did.

If you want or need a "buddy" in your challenge I will be happy to be that, 
albeit long distance. Email me privately if you wish and we can set up a system.

To make this more basset related, when I lose enough weight (I've got 50 to 
lose!) I will be able to rough-house and walk with my grand-dog Kegger, who is 
sorely in need of more walkies since he's competing with 2 little 2-leggers.

"What I am writing now is what I fear.  I fear the commitment and ability to 
accomplish something that is long over due, and I have deluded myself with 
excuses way too long.  I am over weight.  I have had this burden my entire life, 
and I weigh now what I weighed in high school, but when I have a motivation, I 
am able to lose it, although, as an older person, I don't know how physiology 
changes.  Nevertheless,  I wish to do a healthy and life long plan of slow 
weight loss that can be measured by a year's tally.  I want to pledge my weight 
loss for bucks for ABC for next year's summer fest.  I personally will donate 
$10.00 for every pound lost.  Jr. weighed me today, and I was 260.  I want to be 
130.  Help me lose weight and help hounds too.  This is more embarrassing than I 
planned, but those on the extreme weight loss shows got real and realized there 
is no hiding when it is a real desire.  My combined desire is to help hounds and 
be normal weight.  (and have Pierre a drool P

>be thrilled.  I am just learning how to fund raise, and a year is very short, 
>just kicking the notion out there.  I will even embarrass myself to get weighed 
>in public before and after, after all, it is for the hounds, and ultimately me,
