 Hi, you guys, I'm Back (5/22/00). I haven't been doing so well on my weight loss journey. I haven't gained, but I haven't lost either. Last week, I joined the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training, so guess what? I'm training to participate in the Marine Corps Marathon, October 22, 2000 in Washington, D.C. I've read in Shape magazine and Fitness magazine that marathons really inspire and motivate. Even Oprah Winfrey has participated in a marathon. Anybody interested in joining a team in your area, log on here for more information.
