So this isnt really related to corgis... well not directly. I was sooooo excited today when i did my weigh in that in the last 6-7 weeks i have lost 18 lbs. I am trying very very hard to lose a total of 40 lbs by 08/02/09 which is my wedding day... for two reasons i dont wanna be super chub at my own wedding and i wann fit into the dress i already bought lol i would rather it be taken in ... it cannot really be let out much. So i was soooo excited i had to share this news with every community i belong tooo... first sparkpeople.com the website that made this all possible now my corgi.com where my passion comes alive and then myspace and maybe eventually facebook and no i dont twitter i havnt accepted that craze yet. For those of you out there who are looking to lose a little bit of weight check it out... sparkpeople.com... i have lost 18 lbs and its free completely free and soooo easy and sooooo supportive my sister started me on it and she has lost around 20 lbs and we started sparking around the same time. It is addictive it is much like this website or myspace for people trying to lose weight ... it has videos and articles and recipes and thousands of people to reach out to struggling with the same thing you are at that same moment so help is only a click away and you dont have to share your story to a whole group and be uncomfortable you share with who you want to share with and you set reasonable goals for yourself and you feel truly wonderful when you meet them. I urge everyone to check it out even if its only that last pesky 5 lbs you need check it out its amazing. So the indirectly part related to corgi is this.... i am in a group on sparkpeople for corgi lovers... so even the weightloss minded cannot get corgis off the brain also if it wasnt for her i would never know my love for the breed or for dogs in general and i would never get off my butt for 45 min walks thats for sure! Thanks Favorite i raise my 8th glass of water today to you and your help with my goal love you bunches.

Congratulations on the upcoming wedding and the weight loss! I didn't know there was a corgi lovers group on sparkpeople. I will have to check it out. I like their ab/butt workout videos. Tucker had been a good exercise partner. We walk daily and he gets me up early in the morning so I have time to do the elliptical before work! I have lost 10 lbs in the past 3 weeks actually. They are good little trainers. :)

Good luck on reaching your goal- you are almost halfway there already!!

I just signed up for this sparkpeople thing and I was wondering......would you be able to coach me along?

In my experience, the way to stay fit is to use your legs, as much as possible, all your life. The only way to do that is to love using your legs. I can't see people exercising if they don't truly enjoy it, for its own sake.
So: you've got this farm dog that loves walking & running almost as much as it loves food. Hmmmm. Looks like you've got some of the essential ingredients right there.
The irony of embarking on this project with an animal that will voraciously consume anything and everything remotely edible, innocent of any notion of "quantity", does not escape me. :) But you do have a partner who will get you outside as often as she can.
