I want to share such an inspirational story with you. Emily is a friend of mine. We taught 1st grade together for a few years. She still teaches and has also lost over 100 pounds. Anyone losing that much is pretty awesome, but it's especially challenging for her because, you see, my friend Emily is in a wheelchair. (If you read this in Google Reader you'll have to go to my site to watch it.)

Emily did that without diet pills, surgery or other fad things. She just ate right and exercised. Next time you don't feel like exercising, remember that your body works and be grateful that you can exercise. Get moving and do what you can. Every little bit helps! Here are some great exercise tips and some ideas on how to add more physical activity into your daily life. Here's another on how to keep yourself motivated to keep losing or keep the weight off.
Hey Jen--you look really good! One thing I wish they would have said in the news piece is that I did it with out pills or surgery just exercise and regular veggies :) it's the only way for it to really stick and not gain it all back. BUT it takes 6 years--I still can't beleive it though. take care EMILY
