Linda, we all need to see recent pictures of you on the message board. Are you confident or need words of encouragement because your Pistons can be eliminated tonight? Great news, I have put my camera film on the dining room table ready to be taken the photo shop. I will make it a goal to take it before July. I make it a goal to take the film to the shop, and you put pictures on the message board. Talk to you later.

ummmmm 21? You are so funny! I will be here every day no matter what, so if anyone needs any encouragement or help i am here. I cannot wait to see your pics, but i do understand. I was the same way, but am in every picture now...too bad i don't have a recent one, i need to work on that. Hugs Linda

Congrats on sweet Alice's upcoming arrival, Kristy! Much more exciting than this Summer Tour! We'll welcome you back when you're ready to get back in the swing of things post-baby. Enjoy this time! Kathryn

Hi folks, Let's knock ourselves out this summer, and have lots of fun doing it, so that when we reach our two-year anniversaries in August, we'll have done the best we can do to improve and/or maintain our health. Let's use the tool and make great choices. We'll start with being well hydrated. A member of my state board has a Liquid Challenge going - to make sure people are getting all their water in. That's a vital part of the weight loss and health maintenance quadrilateral (protein, water, vitamins, exercise) after surgery, and really at any time in life. People who are on the Water Train are losing weight, some for the first time in a while! With warmer weather upon us, it's more important than ever to get our water in! Visit the following link to see how much water you need: http://nutrition.about.com/library/blwatercalculator.htm I need 105 ounces, and I'm 32 ounces into it. Still have a way to go but I'll get there! Instead of making all our changes at once, which can be overwhelming, we'll tackle a little bit at a time, so in a few weeks, we will be completely up and running. Join us! Let us know your successes, and let us know how we as a family can offer you support to reach August in style - and August is just a milestone, not the end of the journey. Enjoy and have great days! Kathryn

Hey Miss Debra, I read the TMB every day - more of a lurker than a poster these days, but I ride David's train in spirit! I hope you're feeling OK after your shot yesterday. Come join us as we strive to be the best we can be by August. You're looking great - I did meet you a few months back and you're the tiniest thing! Take care, Kathryn
