Thank you for your bid Hippiegirl.

Didn't think the bids would go this high. :) As an incentive, if bids go over 12,000 credits, I'll ship for free. I can't update the listing since it is less than 24 hours. But I'm letting everyone know here.

I would really like to win these books. I loved the show. In 1998 I weighed 180, but was very active I played sports, walked a lot, and did 40 laps in the community pool each day. So it was mostly muscle. In 2003 my health went south. I started gaining weight it started out slow than snowballed out of control. During that time I was seeing several doctors and none of them could find out what was wrong, and my dietitian, suggested I write down all the food I ate each day and go to weight loss specialists. I did what they said, but nothing stopped the weight gain. My weight loss specialist and dietitian told me that I wasn't eating near enough the amount of food to be gaining so much weight. It wasn't till 2007 that the doctor's finally`found out what was wrong. I was diagnosed with Cushing's. It is a rare disease that 10 out of every million people will have. During that whole period I went from 180 pounds to 320. I had surgery to remove the tumor causing the disease. The doctor's told me that 80% of the people won't have the disease come back. I have been free of the disease for 4 years, but I won't be declared free till the 10th year of remission. Ever since than I have tried everything I can to loose the weight I gained from the disease, and it's been an uphill battle with me going back and forth in my weight loss. My doctor's suggested Gastric Bypass, but I don't want to do anything so evasive and risky without trying other alternatives. I saw most of the people on The Biggest Loser loose lots of weight, and decided I wanted to try it before considering the surgery. I really would love to get to my ideal weight which is 135 for 5'2, but would be happy at 150-175 anything is better than being 320 pounds. If this works for me than I won't have to have the Gastric Bypass. I really hope I win and this helps me in reaching my weight loss goals.
