I think this is fantastic! A dear friend of mine is in the process of auditioning for The Biggest Loser. I’d never watched the show before but found that I really liked the whole-person approach to weight loss.

This is a great way to get healthy and in shape. You’ve got the whole family involved in a great game, a great physical activity, and building family memories. Congratulations!

Just saw the video. Keep up the great work I’ll be checking on your progress. Thanks for sharing your story and hopefully it will inspire others to get out geocaching and to drop a few pounds in the process. Best wishes… tsun

I posted on the Geocaching blog too, but here is a post just for you.

YOU CAN DO THIS!
I had just started a diet, actually lets call it a lifestyle change, just a few months before we started caching. When I found out about geocaching, I was revving to go–it was just what I needed to get out there and be more active.
After I lost my weight (80 lbs), I wanted to place a memorial cache out there to inspire/challenge others to do the same, however I never did. This is great what you are doing. It is inspiring me….I’m sure there are a few caches I could go get tonight.
I laugh at how close others DRIVE to find a cache when it would be a short walk, a walk that could keep you healthy.
KEEP GOING! I’ll have to check in every once in awhile to see how you are doing. You are off to a GREAT start.

Congrats on your weight loss thus far! Many of my friends call me Pye, short for Pyewacket on GC. I hereby invite you to come spend the day caching in Sumas; bring bicycles if you’d like a guided tour.

Just got married last week and haven’t had time to change my Email address yet if you are wondering about the strange info.

I just wanted to wish you good luck with your goal. I planned to do the same thing when I started geocaching about 4 years ago. Unfortunately, cervical cancer had other plans for me. I am cancer free now, but have some lingering side effects that keep me from walking long distances.

I still geocache, and I hope over a period of time the effects diminish and the stamina and energy come back so I can resume my goal.

Geocaching is fun and the secret to making this work is to do it everyday. That’s the hard part with a family and all.

I’ll be watching your progress and sending you good luck messages.

Sincerely,

Peggy Kunkle
