I'm sure your advice is sound. I'm in accounting, and us accountants really like numbers! Set a goal, and measure as you make progress. So, naturally I think "ok, dw needs to lose 50 lbs... let's chart it out!!"

I guess I need to think outside the box, huh?

Yes, I am. Gotta get her in the company of some motivated gals like yourselves! Maybe she'll even introduce herself to all of you.....
