Welcome to my brave blog. You have no idea just how brave! I am dieting for dollars. I have struggled with my weight all of my adult life either in my head or in my actual body. I hope to be able to post some pictures and I’m sure Nicki can help with that but I will wait until there is a call for photos.

So here is the deal – Anyone who wants to support both SIBA and my effort to get fit can participate by donating $10 to SIBA for every pound that I lose. It will cost $80 to come in this week because I have already lost 8 pounds in my first two weeks. You must send the money addressed to FAT SO? For SIBA to 3806 Yale Ave. Columbia, SC 29205. But still make your check out to SIBA or we can take a credit card. Any publisher or author or bookseller that supports the effort can then send books or other motivational fitness type items and I will use them, review them, try them and talk about them in my blog.

I am hoping Rodale will jump in first because I am loving the Abs Diet by David Zinczenko. This is the the six-week plan to flatten your stomach and keep you learn for life. I haven’t let the fact that it is mostly directed at men sway me in the least. So here we go.
