Send us your weight-loss success stories

Global warming may remain the source of much debate but few doubt the existence of a national obesity epidemic; all we have to do is look around us and note the many people who are trying to lose weight.

It's generally a tough process, so if you've succeeded at significant weight loss you're no doubt proud of it -- and justifiably so. Here's an opportunity to share your story with Review-Journal readers.

We are asking local residents who have lost a significant amount of weight and kept it off for at least two years to send us their name, daytime phone number, and before and after weights, plus the method of losing weight. Also include before and after photos. A selection will be featured in a future Taste section and on the newspaper Web site to help motivate other dieters.

Send the information to Heidi Knapp Rinella, Las Vegas Review-Journal, P.O. Box 70, Las Vegas, NV 89125, or e-mail it to her at hrinella@reviewjournal.com. Information must be received by 5 p.m. June 15.
