I am beginning to think that I will NOT be getting my belly button piered, whether I lose 48 pounds or not! Earlobes are a lot easier, apparently!

Carole, Helen is 14 (will turn 15 in January). If we both hit our weight loss goal (hers is only 10-15 pounds) and keep it off, it was our agreement that we would both have our bellybuttons pierced, provided her dad agrees. She would be 15, and I'm not sure it is the right thing, but I figured if we did it together, like we have done this dieting, that would be best. And I do agree that the tradeoff is the right thing. She needs to achieve something in order to have her wish.
