What a great idea Donna; challenges do tend to motivate. I have been motivated by my CDC who has not only lost over 13 stone in I think 7 months of sheer determination; but also is challenging herself again by running a marathon this year. Her story is in the "success stories" of CD entitled Jem before and after ...... and she is now featured in the "Challenges" forum entitled "New York Marathon Madness". This has to be the motivational force to end all. I take all my inspiration from her dedication to sorting herself out to becoming this "new woman". I am so impressed and I have added my name to her list of sponsors. I am sure many others will do so too when they read her story. Do look at the before and after thread first to see what she was dealing with and the other to learn more about the challenge ahead of her.
