Comments for Diminishing Returns http://www.tomandcarla.com/diminishing It's a losing proposition ... but in a good way Wed, 31 Mar 2010 15:50:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Comment on A post that’s been a long time coming… by RadioCarla http://www.tomandcarla.com/diminishing/?p=4&cpage=1#comment-30 RadioCarla Wed, 31 Mar 2010 15:50:50 +0000 http://www.tomandcarla.com/diminishing/?p=4#comment-30 Gabrielle, Unfortunately, that post is from a year ago. Soon after I posted it, I came down with a bad chest cold that sidelined me for three weeks and pretty much ended my hopes of walking in the Half Pig. Other issues piled on and I really slacked until now I'm the biggest I've ever been. BUT it's changing this week. I've joined a great group (http://www.cincylosers.com) and I'm back working out in the pool again. Walking will be added next and then I'm shooting for a 5K, then a 10K and so on. Thanks for your kind words! I will be blogging here again soon! Carla Gabrielle,

I had been wondering how you were doing since we last talked in January. Regardless of weight loss, what a huge accomplishment that will be to complete a half marathon. You've vastly improved your level of fitness, which in my opinion is way more important that the number on the scale. Carla, that is so great to hear that your training has been going well.

I've started working out and eating better. I'm down 15 pounds in 6 weeks. I figure if I'm going to do it and make it stick this time slow and steady always wins out in the end. I'm here to support ya'll when you need it. And I'll see ya'll in Chicago in July, can't wait! I’m on the same journey. I’ve started working out and eating better. I’m down 15 pounds in 6 weeks.

Have been so busy that I haven't been here for a while; it's good to catch up with you two (although it looks like Diminishing Returns isn't a top priority right now -- you have a lot going on!). I was in Seattle and saw someone sailing high above the water, good to read that you tried it! Anyway, a big HEY to you both. Hope to see you one of these days. Ever going to be near Georgia? -Hawleywood ;) Here’s to FREEDOM and using your own good sense.

Can't seem to call up the baseball cards, but reading about Tom in the article reminded me of grad school at UGA. He was a standout then, and a standout now. Carla, hope your spring semester work goes easily...and quickly... Two thumbs up, way up, for Diminishing Returns being a continual source of inspiration for me to get off my beeeehind and get with a program. -Hawleywood ;) YOU BOTH ROCK, for many reasons.

Hi Tom,

My wife, 10-year old daughter, and I have been going to a local Weight Watchers group in Colerain for about a month and a half.

I like the idea of your blog being about a “losing proposition”, and I wish you and your wife the best in getting lighter.

Make it a great day!

Try everything, take small portions, and don’t go back for seconds.

It ain’t easy, but it’s a good policy!
