Check-in

Hi Cali Friends,

I know you're out there cuz I see the number of views but I don't see a lot of conversation going on!!! 

I'd love to get more discussions and support going on our great Cali Board.  How about a daily check-in?  Lu and a couple of others have done them in the past and I know that life gets busy for folks and it takes time to get it done.  I would never be as good as Lu with her shout outs, but I would be happy to start it off each morning. 

I think it's really important for newbies and oldies but goodies (like me) to know there is a place to come for support night or day.  Virtual friends and in-person friends who understand our victories, wow moments and struggles are SO important to keep us successful and on track.   When I came to the board about 3 years ago, there was a lot of posts on our Cali Board.  Yes, there was a lot of drama too, but when in life isn't there drama?  LOL

So let us know your thoughts.  Don't be shy, come out of lurkdom and post

Barb

Morning Barb,

you are right it has been very quiet here lately.  I think all of out folks 2 years plus have kind of moved on.  but the board will help to keep us on track!!  I miss hearing from everyone!

I am doing well still maintaining between 125 and 130.  My doctor is very pleased with my results!!

Well I had my nut consult yesterday and after a 20 minute discussion, she told me I am doing fabulous and my surgeon will be pleased ! I am so stoked - things are going along just peachy keen! 

Got to love following the pre op diet - and working out almost regularly.   As a reward for hitting under 250 I treated myself to a Zumba Wii game - loving that now.  It was hard to get used to but its getting more fun each day!

If you do a daily check-in, what I see working the best is if you give it a different title each day. We do that on the Lightweights board and the title gets people's attention and gives us a built-in topic for people who aren't sure what to say.

This is a great idea, Barb!  I belong to the Over Fifty forum and we do this and really get a lot of traffic.  I am doing okay, not eating as well as I should be, but continuing to exercise.  I have my appointment with the surgeon on the 19th and I am very excited to maybe get a surgery date.

I will bewilling to check-in as often as I can.TY barb for your efforts to get ev1 involved,,,,,,,  TED

Great Plan Barb...

I will check in when i can. my hand/arm are still a pian in the a$$ and i don't type much. I will do my best.

I read everyday. just dont post.

lu

I'll come out of lurker status to join

I'm a month post-op, trying to feel human again sometime soon.

I think that's a good idea.  It will kick me into gear again to get on the board every day and stay on-track. 

Thank you everyone for replying.  I knew you were there!  I will be happy to start a morning post cuz it's really nice to hear from everyone.  I really need a daily check-in to keep me on track, so you're all helping me in the process too.

So we'll see you tomorrow. 

Lu I so hope your hand gets better soon, cuz I love your humor and your posts!  Miss you my friend.

Hugs to all,
Barb
