Kathy, 40 lbs is a milestone! Next we need before/after pix from you as well! Keep up the great work!

Joanna, I don't think it took me 12 weeks to get "bitten" by having a personal trainer a couple of days a week, but perhaps that is because it was an "appointment". I was doing it for fitness, not weight loss, so that may be a factor. Those "appointments" were sacred to me when I was in law school not too many years ago. It was an outlet for stress for me. OTOH, making myself walk on my treadmill or get out in the neighborhood and do it myself to this day is a challenge. THAT might make me take 12 weeks to get bitten.
