That tells me that no matter what reward is out there, we are only going to make changes if it what we really want to do. Nobody can control our lives for us, we are the ones in control of this crazy carnival ride of weight loss and weight gain. We are the only one that can truly make the choice to stop the ride and say enough is enough.

Very well said Elizabeth! It has taken me quite some time to buckle down and change - weight loss challenge. I had realized that the show was a motivator but being one that is chosen (hoping) - it all boils down to it being my choice.
