This week, I celebrate not only my birthday, but anniversary of the date on which I hit my correct weight in 1994. I have summed up some of what I learned in our main article. Our blog postings range from a quick humorous graphic to how to be more productive as well as the stupid things some people will do to lose weigh.

Watch and enjoy the greatest Wedding Dance Entrance ever. You will want to share it with all your friends.

Thank you for all the support. Treat yourself special.  Scott "Q" Marcus CRP, www.ThisTimeIMeanIt.comP.S. Please to others who might find the articles and links of interest, and take a moment to answer the four anonymous questions at the AttitudeIndex.

 17 Years at My Correct Weight: A Look BackAs a 17-year-old, I dropped almost 100 pounds, becoming thin for the first time in my life.
 By 22, I regained most of it. During that period, I avoided attending meetings, which had worked so well, and therefore suffered the consequences. Funny, isn't it? You'll do everything you can - except the one thing that gets you the results you want. Contrary creatures, we humans can be.
Finally returning, I sat in a meeting, embarrassed, ashamed, and sad; a thin, middle age woman addressed the assemblage. "My name's Betty," she said, holding up her "before photo," "I've maintained a 100 pound weight loss for ten years."
"One hundred pounds," I thought. "I couldn't even do that for half that time; no way I'll make it." It seemed the impossible dream.
This week (Tuesday, 9/27/2011), I am celebrating 17 years at my correct weight, after losing 70 pounds. (I had not regained everything I lost in earlier years; some lessons do stick.)
In these 6,200 plus days since I achieved "goal weight," I've learned much. Space doesn't allow for everything, yet, there's room for a few observations; provided in the interest of helping others achieve the success I have been fortunate enough to experience.

Videos of the Month
We all like videos and the most popular links in the newsletter are therefore the videos I post. I work on finding videos that are inspirational, educational, and humorous.Video #1: The Best Wedding Dance Entrance Ever This video has been going around for a few years but even if you've seen it, you can't watch it enough. It's a joyous celebration and the most fun you'll have without leaving your chair. Video #2: Bystanders Save a Victim from a Burning Car Don't let the image below frighten you away. The video is not gruesome; it's actually uplifting to see a group of strangers come together to help a victim of an accident. (It turns out well.) Video #3: Jack Lalanne Explains Why We're so Tired This video might be 50 years old but what he says still applies. (Note: the videos are not embedded in this email. To view them, click on the picture and they'll take you to a location at my blog where you can view them.) 
To see all videos on the TTIMI website, follow this link.
By the way, if you have a suggestion for a video for the newsletter, please let me know. Most of the time, that's how I find out about these.
