Meet CONNIE... a dear dear friend

Meet CONNIE... a dear dear friend

I will never forget the day I personally met Connie Pierce. The people at the Weight Watcher meeting where she was attending were in awe of her weight loss success, as well as I was as a visitor to this group. Following the meeting I had the opportunity to speak with her, and learn that she was still reaching towards her "goal" with already having lost over 160 pounds. Connie and I became email friends and stayed in contact for months through her final strides towards goal. On the day she weighed in "at goal" I revisted the group.. She did it!! Down over 180 pounds.. and it struck me as nearly unbelievable that between the two of us that day we were together down 300 pounds. total.....

Connie spoke right then of wanting to write a book and tell her story in hopes of being an inspiration to others that faced a similar road ahead. It was just months later that she told me her book had been published and would be available in just a few days. I ran home and ordered one of the very first copies.. I found this story more than inspiration.. it's a must read.. especially for those of us that think it just will never happen.

You HAVE TO meet Ruby...

Funny just the other day at Borders this bright and cheery book.. jumped into my hands. Just reading the back cover I knew this was the next book meant for me to read. Ruby a young beautiful "southern lady" tells her story of her journey in living in a world that doesn't fit.. the obese people of our country. Ruby started out her journey at over 716 pounds, and with the determination of herself and the support of her freinds and family she is some 400 pounds down and meeting each day with health and exercise to reach her goal and "Beat the Beast"!! Ruby's Diary - Reflections on All I've Lost and Gained is a must read. Ruby and her near and dear friends and nephew Jim can also be seen on Style Network in a TRUE LIFE reality show called Ruby.You will see the ups and downs and the emotional challenges that Ruby faces in a day to day life. Her determination to help others through her efforts is as uppermost as losing her weight and controlling her personal "beast". This is one you won't be able to put down.

I have found such admiration and morivation from Ruby and her love of life and her full determination to succeed in this weight loss journey. She portrays the ups and downs, from the emotional highs of success to the difficult struggles and weeks without losses or even weeks with gains. Our journeys ar all quite similar. Get to know Ruby and join her inspirational "team".
