We receive surveys every so often, and follow-ups if there is anything that didn't go through directly. In two years we've gotten only three press inquiries (one of which led to our appearance on Good Morning America), and of those, only one wasn't well-vetted IMHO. (It was a stringer, who really was a college student doing a paper, rather than contacting the NWCR as a member of the press on assignment as originally claimed.) -- bicker® http://abcnews.go.com/sections/GMA/D...ry_040602.html |

I submitted my application. i I thought that you started maintenance last October? If so, you have not maintained for one year and therefore you do not qualify. -- jmk in NC |

I lost 30 lbs by August 3, 2003, so I do qualify, since I maintained my 30 lbs weight loss for one year. My total weight loss though, is 50 lbs. I'm pretty sure that they mean one year of maintaining your total weight loss. -- jmk in NC |

I'm pretty sure that they mean one year of maintaining your total weight loss. That's a pretty ridiculous criterion, in my opinion. For those of us who gained almost 100 pounds, it takes a while to lose that amount of weight. While I've lost almost 60 pounds, I still have a lot to go. Based on that criterion, I won't be able to join this for at least two more years. -- Bob in CT Remove ".x" to reply |

If you have been losing for over a year and are still losing it seems to me
that you are maintaining your original weight loss.
