Sounds like a good system Jason.Good luck with it and the '56 Dodgers team set.Good choice!

Can't help but agree with Steve on this one. Good system, smart goals. I look forward to hearing about your successes as the year progresses, and am already enjoying watching that Dodger's team set come together.

Good luck!

Richard.

Jason,
I'm so glad you decided to put this in its own thread. I can't wait to see the progress both in your collection but more importantly your well being.

Keep the progress coming and all the best to you!

Good Luck Jason, those sound like great goals! I could stand to lose a few pounds myself.....

Thanks for the kind words and support, everyone! The only thing that KILLED me so far, since I decided to apply the Dodger Dollar account to all hobby purchases--not just the '56 Dodgers--was I had to pass up a very nice 1950 Life magazine with Jackie Robinson on the cover. I'd seen grubby copies for sale around $30-$50 for months, but here was one for $30 (with shipping) that looked sharp and didn't even have a mailing label. I wanted to pull the trigger but not quite badly enough to eat 15 apples I guess. Still, it was the biggest test of my discipline to let that thing go.

At the moment, I have $38 Dodger Dollars in my account and am deciding between splurging on 3-4 '56 Brooklyn commons or saving a little longer to shoot for the Duke. Will keep you posted.

Congrats on your success so far. Great self control too. I wish I had more self control but am not quite ready to make it a resolution. Good luck on your journey Jason!!
