That doesn't include, my coffees, teas and diet pops...it's just a goal...I think 4L is plenty!

BabsieGirl · 11-02-2004, 08:16 AM

Good luck Vel. I never heard of IM doing this. Last time we tried having an IM competition, it fell through and Jenny was the only one that stuck with it. Everyone else ended up dropping out.

me ... in a bb contest?

I couldn't improve much either way.

I'm not like most here. I don't have any issues with my physical appearance. I'm sure there are others that do, but they don't count.

I have tried in the past to put on weight, but that requires a lot of eating and accountability.

klmclean · 11-02-2004, 11:06 AM

Looking forward to your new journal

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
