It motivates me to think twice about my healthier eating.

That's great! The buddy system is the best way to be successful. At our job long ago, we had an exercise group. Then we moved to tighter quarters and couldn't anymore. It was great while it lasted; even when we felt blah and didn't want to go, our mutual support kept us going.

Very proud of my friend, Sandy. Yes, I was one of the adult skaters she saw when she came to the rink with her hockey playing boys before she started skating herself. If you missed it, she was also on Oprah last year. Oprah had a show featuring WW inspiring stories with Sandy as a cornerstone story. It was very moving. She was also featured in the adult corner of Skating magazine in either November or December.
