She told me, "I will have you running a marathon!"

Would be nice if they listened, right?
I went to the Netherlands once...(noticed that's where you are)...stayed in Wageningen, almost 12 years ago now...great trip. I also stayed in Amsterdam a few days, but the time in Wageningen was the best because I really got a sense of the lifestyle in that small town. Also met a young man from Groningen that I had been chatting with on the internet back in the EARLY EARLY days of internet chat. It's kinda a funny story...we chatted online, never in a million years expected to meet him in person, and then suddenly the opportunity arose to go to Wageningen to stay with a couple of friends (one of which was working on his PhD at the university). I had totally forgot this young man lived in the same country till I mentioned that I was going to be doing some traveling during one of our chats. We ended up spending several days together in Amsterdam...it was really a great trip. We lost touch over the years though.
Thanks for the flashback...lol

Successfully did Atkins in 1998 using 1992 copy of the book...before it was "hip". Lost 60lbs, exercised daily, felt and looked great. And then I moved in with a junk-food loving man, my mom got sick and passed away, then I suffered a spinal cord injury, and junk-food dude left me...and now I weigh 292lbs. That's 22lbs MORE than I weighed the first time around. It's 10 years later...I know this will work for me again.
