I am not a big fan of Valentine's Day, but I ran across a story on USAToday.com that touched my cynical heart.

Julie McDonald, 27, an elementary school teacher from St. Cloud, Fla., and Kevin Switzer, 25, a web designer from Des Moines, Iowa, met on a Weight Watchers message board a year ago when they each were trying to lose weight.

The couple, who each weighed 307 pounds at one point, lost a combined 200 pounds and are engaged to be married in June, according to the article.

Now, that's a real heartwarmer. Happy V-Day.
