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.<div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Sue Cline</div><div>Cincinnati OH<br><div><br></div><div><br><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>------------------------------<br><br>From: jacquelynn chazey <<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:aerogator27@hotmail.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:aerogator27@hotmail.com">aerogator27@hotmail.com</a>><br>Subject: [Dailydrool] evolution - a bit

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<br> W). If anyone wants to join my pledge by offering any amount per pound, I would 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, I have a great pair of jeans from the 70's I really want to fit in again, LOL LOL."<br>Jackie and the herd<br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></div></div></div><div style="position:fixed"></div>
