When is the next Northern California lunch and clothing exchange?

Hi everyone,

I  missed the March one and I don't remember receiving e-mail for the other ones (or maybe I just was busy), but I was wondering when the next one will be.  I have clothes to give away and I need smaller clothes.  I would like to see my clothing go to people who are "passing through" the sizes I used to be.  And I would like to meet you all in the Bay Area who I have not yet met before.

Please let me know when the June one is, and also, could you make sure I am on the e-mail list?  My e-mail address is [email protected].

Thanks a lot.

Hi Ruth,

The next lunch is June 18th at 1pm at Coco's in Concord. Barb(NewBarb2)posts on here, when the next lunch is, and who is attending. She usually does it the week leading up to the lunch. Also in the post is a list of all the lunches ect.. we have planned for the year. So watch out for her posts. Looking forward to meeting you. I will be at the next lunch. I hope your journey so far is going well.

 Thanks Eileen!  I look forward to seeing you there.

Barb has also contacted me and I found her post about all the meetings during the year.  Do people bring their under-grown clothing every month?  Or just when you go to Cocos?  I also have clothes that someone gave me that may fit me at sometime, but that just aren't my style and I will bring them also.  I love it when someone can use something I can't use.

 I don't think I have this "reply" thing down yet.  I thought my last post would be a reply to your, but apparently not, so maybe I have to hit the "quote" button.

Yes, thank you, my journey so far is going well.  I am learning new things every day.  The big thing though is that my diabetes is ALMOST gone (actually, I expected it to be totally gone by this time -- 3 months out).  My high blood pressure seems to be gone.  My lipids look great (my triglicerides went down from over 400 to 121 and my total cholesteral and my LDLs are good.  My HDL could be higher (it used to be higher, but I used to eat more vegs than I do now).  My hips don't hurt when I walk anymore.  I am trying to get in more potassium (doctor gave me a prescription for potassium chloride, but I would like to get it in some other things.  I just bought this powder at Costco (Zipfizz) which you mix with water and it gives you over 25% of your daily need for potassium (along with lots of other vitamins and electrolytes).  Also Costco sells a "chocolate shake" that comes in 11 oz boxes and that 30 grams of protein in it, low carbs and tastes pretty good.  So still learning the ways I can meet my nutritional needs (and needs for enough fluid during the day).
