Walk from Obesity - Hickory

Hey All! Just a reminder, if you are planning on joining the Hickory walk on Saturday, "Bank Day" is Friday. If you need more information, email me and I'll get it for you. We're trying to get more walkers for it! Thanks so much!!! Ashley

I would love to be there. (and I will in spirit) But, I have to work this Saturday.

Congrats, Brandy!! You are doing awesome!! Keep it up! Trisha

It would be easy for me to go to this since I live in Maiden which is only about 18 miles from Hickory. Hickory is where I usually shop so I go there alot. But since my rescheduled surgery is tomorrow 9/15 I guess I'll think about you guys and maybe next time I can walk with you! Hope it goes well. Lynne

Does anybody think that the weather is going to be horrible by Saturday. This hurricaine looks like it's heading the same path as the last one that affected the "mountain" areas of NC. My daughter is terrified of storms/rain/wind, etc. so it's very possible that I won't be able to attend but I will still send in my donations that I have received. Your thoughts?

If it rains, we're moving inside! The Hickory YMCA has an indoor track that goes around the indoor basketball court. So don't let the rain stop you! Ashley

Hi Darlene, How are you guys??? I agree this forum is kinda on the dead side lately. I'm just as guilty as anyone, trying to get motivated to sit down and share with yall some wonderful weight loss experience or even invite ya to my pitty party. As you can see emotions go from high to low on the road to weight-loss. Not much is going on around here, as far as the scale moving. I'm gonna do some measurements on myself to cheer myself up. I even bought a new ditial scale..but returned it cause it gave me the same results as the old scale did:haha::haha: Just kidding!! The scale was a stupid purchase and it didn't work at all..that's why I took it back. I get to see my in-laws this week-end..they live in Kingman. I wonder if they'll notice anything different about big ole me??? On a possitive note right now..the hair loss is beginning so slow down. I have been on the Biotin and the flax seed oil gel-caps since month 3 when I noticed strands and then clumps falling out. I'm thankful I was blest with thick hair from the start..but the hair loss thing just freaked me out. Best wishes to all of you out there in Arizona...What's your story?? Hugs:love:Ginger

Life gets busy when we're on that healthy path! ....I've been crazy busy getting the details all tied up for the Spring Fling! ...and trying to lose 10 more pounds so I can give myself permission for the self-pay plastic surgery!...I will not get the surgery until I'm in my goal range (again).....So, I've been doing more time at the gym, focusing on protein fasts, and doing some tanning beds! LOL! Something about a suntan just makes me feel better about myself! What can I say, I'm really a Beach gal that has been stuck inland for way too long! Hey Jessica, that funny psych that you listened to last night is going to be our guest speaker at the Spring Fling. Her topic is "Mirror, Miror, on the wall"....I'm sure she'll have us all cracked up! Huggggz to all, Joyce Chandler WLS Support Group Facilitator [email protected]
