I'm an editor with "First for Women" magazine (1.5 million readers). I'm looking for diet success stories from everyday women who jumpstarted their weight-loss efforts by going on a diet cruise or taking a diet retreat or having an all-girls diet weekend/slumber party in their home...something like that. Ideally, the woman would have dropped some weight during their special "retreat" and then went on to lose a dramatic amount of weight. If you'd like to share your story in the magazine please e-mail ASAP with a brief summary of your experience. Include your name, age, contact info and city/state. Also include electronic 'before' and 'after' photos for reference.

Thanks and keep up the good work as you maintain your weight losses!
Best, Lisa Maxbauer
