Hi guys,

Am I allowed to join? I feel 'spiritually' close to the TDC members, because if you look at my profile you'll see that while I now have less than 100 pounds to lose, if I ever get to goal, that is how much I will have lost - 100 pounds. And that's only my first goal - once I get there I have a suspicion I'll want to lose another 10. And you guys inspire me the most, too.

This is also great timing from me - I just got back from holiday and put on a few pounds while I was gone, and I'm planning another trip on November 23rd, so the dates are perfect for me to try and get fitter...

So, if allowed... I commit to (trying to be realistic here)

- 3 hours on the treadmill per week
- On those days I don't use the treadmill, at least half an hour walking outside
- Lifting arm weights 10 minutes a day, 5 days a week

If I find this is going well, I may up it a bit...

Deborah
