(Pistol "pop") And I'm off!!!

Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!

I am truly blessed with such good family and friends.  I am thrilled with the responses that I've received so far and it hasn't even been 24 hours since I sent my "I need your support, please" email!  I have received numerous words of encouragement, eating/exercising tips, links to helpful websites/videos/weightloss tools, offers to exercise/cook/shop together and even 3 offers of sponsorship!  And the best part, so far 2 other friends are going to do this challenge with me ~ Jeannie P. (23 lbs.) and Denton K. (25 lbs.).  I'm so excited to not have to do this alone.

One of the first tips I received was from my brother-in-law, Greg Campbell (an excellent writer ~ see his latest book at https://www.bygregcampbell.com/),  He suggested I start a website to document my progress in reality TV style ~ taking pictures and video, keeping a blog and video journal.  This way everyone who's interested can see my progress.  So, that's what I did! 

Love, Jill
