[Disney 20]

Hey! Add me to the list. I would love a watercolor painting. I think it's a great idea, great incentive for you, and also very generous of you. Thanks for even offering it up!

Good luck to you!

I'd love one as well!! Sounds like a great motivator!! You might lose so much you won't be able to keep up with all the paiting!

Sign me up! I love watercolors. Did you paint the litle bird in your avatar and the lake scene in your profile? They're gorgeous. Congrats on making this step in your life. What a great idea for "giving back".

What a great idea! I want to think of something creative now too! I can tell you I brought 2 HUGE bags of work clothes, dress clothes and casual clothes to my last support group meeting and they were devoured! It was really hard parting with some of my FAVORITE clothes, but wonderful seeing people so happy to have them! I kept feeling like if I gave them away, I'd gain my weight back and NEED them and have NOTHING to wear. My drawers and closets will be virtually empty with my next size drop...scary but absolutely wonderful at the same time! Do you know there is a site online...where people without insurance can get help with the cost of weight loss surgery? Not that I wouldn;t love a painting from a fellow loser, but maybe if you raffled one off and donated the proceeds to someone who wants to have surgery and cannot afford all the expense?? Help someone else change their life too!!! Just a thought, your picture on your profile is beautiful, you are very talented! Congratulations...and have fun planning and "paying it forward"
