Default an article about someone who sounds like she could be one of us

http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/diet....ess/index.html

I saw this article on CNN today about a woman who lost 95 lbs and I took a peek since so often these articles focus on strange things (like "I lost 95 pounds by eating COOKIES!" or something). I was pleasantly surprised to see that it is about a woman whose health was in danger, so she started walking, eating more fruits and veggies, paying attention to portions, etc. She then got into running and is now a marathoner. Sure sounds like a lot of ladies around here!

Anyway I thought it was nice to see a story like that.

Great article! I've just started running again, but I need to lose a lot more weight before training for any marathons! My knees are giving me a little grief. But just reading her story is totally inspiring.

Oh, yeah. I read that this morning. It was a pleasant surprise! She even said something about eating less and moving more and an overall goal of being healthy. Sounds a lot like all of us!!!
