Thanks Russ,
Anything that keeps me on the straight and narrow is a bonus. It's winter here and I must admit my Scottish background comes out as I love warming winter soups and foods. Salads don't quite pack the punch when it is icy outside, so it vegetable medleys for the time being.

Hey guys,

*Clears throat and puts on his best PSA voice*

I'm working on some different stories that involve these guys in different ways, but if you've been maintaining for a year, it's worth a little time to sign up for the National Weight Loss Control Registry.

It's a voluntary program for post-weight folks who've done what most everyone else can't figure out how to pull off.

It pretty much involves filling out a questionnaire and sending in before/after pictures. Beyond that, you'll get questionnaires from time to time for different medical studies. Most of which, I've found, aren't a big deal.

The more people sign up to participate, the better the scientific folks can understand post-weight loss better. And honestly -- if science or the public can't wrap their head around life post fat-pants, how on earth can they really help people trying to lose weight? We can help give them a whole picture of weight loss.

You can sign up here www.nwcr.ws/default.htm

Is anyone else already a part of this? I'd love to hear!
