Here's a post from 5 weeks ago with my story.
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/621423-almost-there-90lbs-lost-in-about-10-months

My local YMCA has been an integral part of my weight loss. Our family membership has been used to the max. I'm there2 hours a day, 5-6 days a week running and lifting and my three kids (ages 6, 3.5, and 1.5) love going to the childcare at the Y while I exercise. And NO they did NOT pay me to say any of this! :-)

A few weeks ago they asked me to write for them so I did and parts of my writing and pictures are being published in their staff newsletter, community mailing and I think they said the newspaper too.

Here's what was in the staff newsletter last week. As of this morning I'm up to 99 lbs lost!!

    As a Y employee of 9 years, thanks for being a part of the Y family! I'm always so warmed to hear of people who are truly "connected" to their Y. We have tried for many years (as witnessed in our brand change last year) to not be thought of as a "swim and gym" place. We aren't, we are a community organization committed to the health and wellbeing of all of our members, staff and communitites. We support people, we build relationships and we care.

    Congratulations on all of the hard work! And it sounds like you have a great Y that is connected to you and you to them and they recognize and want to acknowledge all of your progress!

    And, as an early childhood director, I'm glad your kids love being in the childcare! :)
