I'm doing 27 things
I have lost 35 pounds so far this year and I’m on track to hit this goal before the end of the year. No magic bullets….. just tracking all of my food and working out consistently. I am using Sparkpeople.com - the most fabulous free fitness website which I highly recommend to everyone. (if you sign up, say Tamarac2 referred you!)

How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: I was invited to join by a friend who started the group. They originally had about 10 women which felt about right --- one moved away, one stopped coming and I was invited to fill the gap. Read how I did it…

It is a dream of mine to stay in a French chateau. Somewhere in the countryside, with either beautiful vineyards or fields around it and plenty of nearby places to explore. I suppose this would work as well in any quaint European locale…..an Italian Villa, Swiss chalet, small castle, etc…. something with the feel of a lot of history, yet also comfy (so somewhat updated), and a great view.
