In my family, my siblings all struggle with their weight. When you announce to someone that you've lost some, you never quite know what their reaction might be. Sometimes, they take it as inspiring and sometimes it has the opposite impact. That being said, I hope you'll take it in a positive way.

I've lost over 35 pounds, gotten down two pants sizes (and the latest size is getting big on me) and I can now run 35 minutes at a stretch - the equivalent in distance to a 5K. I'm about to run in my second 5K race and my goal is to run in a 15K in February 2009.

It really works, Laura, but I know that I need to be an active participant in the program. I'm not "along for the ride", it is.

You can do this! Push yourself out of your comfort zone in any way possible. Go for it!

I have yet to earn my first five pound star. The important thing is that I’m not gaining weight, which is what happened when I stopped doing WW. It’s working for me, but it’s going slow right now. They all say that’s the best and I’m working on keeping my expectations LOW. How are you doing?

I love the smileys too! Sometimes, I unclick them just to get them back. I'm such a sucker for the smileys.

How is your WW going? Do you feel like it's working for you?

That cartoon made me crack up.

I so get the little smiley faces! Sometimes it's amazing what small things motivate us but if it works for you, keep on enjoying it!
