Me Minus 10 -- plus friends!

I'll be taking next week off (to look at colleges with my kid -- gulp!). But The Checkup will continue in my absence. In addition to Rob's Wednesday posting, I've invited some fascinating people to write about various aspects of weight management, from getting your dog in on the action to becoming comfortable with your body's natural shape and size. Think of it as Me Minus 10 -- plus friends!

I hope you'll enjoy their blogs as much as I do. I look forward to reading your comments and to getting back in the saddle myself the following week.
