Good luck, & I'm sure you'll win.

At my last job I had a longstanding bet with a couple of coworkers who also
wanted to lose weight -- whoever had lost the most weight that week (or
gained the least, it turned out to be sometimes) got taken out to lunch by
the rest.  Once I discovered NeanderThin, I got taken out to lunch every week
until I moved away. <grin>  After I lost 9 pounds in my second week of
NeanderThin, nobody even wanted to do the weigh-ins anymore, they'd just take
a look at me and *know* they were taking me out to lunch. <really big grin>

What really puzzles me though is that none of them have even tried eating the
way I do.  They all praise my willpower for sticking to my diet -- I don't
think any of them believe me that cravings for sugar, grain, potatoes, etc.
will all go away in a couple of days.  Go figure.

P.S.  I wish I could join your bet!  Keep us posted on how you do!
