1 pound at a time, 1 mile at a time!

It's always nice to read other people's success stories, especially when they aren't necessarily celebrities or rich people who have unlimited resources at their disposal. At this time last year, actually not even quite a whole year ago, Priscilla Houliston weighed 390 lbs and couldn't even tie her own shoelaces or get up out of a chair without help. And now, having bicycled over 2000 miles with her husband by her side and lost 25% of her body weight, she is successfully spreading the message that obesity can be solved with small steps.

They started together in Key West, FL, and crossed into New York not that long ago. That leg marked 1/8th of the total trip completed.

And to think, all this started with Priscilla simply making a promise to herself and beginning by walking 1/2 mile each day. Good for you Priscilla!
