Hi there,

Special request here! I'm looking for ladies who are 35+ years old and who used to be overweight but have healthfully slimmed down and kept the weight off.

If that describes you, I'm curious: What are your realistic, useful, fun, surprising, and maybe even quirky, strategies that you use to avoid holiday weight gain? I'm thinking specifically about the sneaky 5-7 lbs. that creep up on most of us somewhere between the first slice of pumpkin pie and our last New Year's toast! But, I'm sure a lot of us have had to put these strategies to use recently during Memorial Day and the Fourth of July.

Your tip could be featured in a national women's magazine. If that sounds good to you, feel free to e-mail your tip(s) with your age, city, state and how much weight you lost in what year to [email protected].

Thanks so much, ladies!!

That sounds fantastic! I hope you get plenty of replies and we'll look forward to the article
