Roll Call

Carla, Sounds like you are going wonderfully! I can't wait to hear all about the line dancing classes. I know that will be a ton of fun . I am kicking my self right now for not going to the Latin Impact class this morning. My sister and I are supposed to walk at the beach today and I didn't want to over due. Now it is beginning to rain!!!! I should have gone but I really want to do the 3 mile walk at the beach. Now it is convincing her to go in the rain!!! Let me know about Wednesday. I told Mary Lou we would leave West Haven about 6pm and meet up with Heather in North Branford about 6:20pm. We would love to have you join us if you are able. Make sure you do something for yourself this weekend!!! Linda

I am so excited to see how many people are planning on going Wednesday. I Can't wait to meet all of you. Linda, I was at the support group Wednesday as well. It's too bad we didn't recognize each other. Hopefully I'll meet you Wednesday. Maggie

Hi Linda, hi everyone!!! This weekend has been spent in New Haven for my daughter's travel basketball team.Both mornings began at 5am to get ready to leave for games at 8:30am.Yesterday they played 3 games and didn't get home until after 7pm.Today we finished earlier and got home a short time ago.Last year for this tournament,it poured and poured,so it was great to have a nice weekend to run from one site to the next.Hmm, I guess I will be 3 months post as of tomorrow. I think I am doing well overall,but have lots of room for improvement.There are days it seems when the scale doesn't move and can you imagine,sometimes even slides up only to slide back down the following day.I know what ya'll are thinking,"stay off the darn scale".Unlike you Linda,this girl has no problem sleeping!!I hope you find some answers or tips in your new group.We just purchased season tickets for the Mohegan Sun and looking forward to the start of the season.The first game will be against Phoenix,Diana's new home.I hear it is a sold out game except for season tickets.Linda, ever think of catching a few of the games? I know it isn't the same as Uconn, but with so many having been drafted,we see several of the "older" girls when they come to town to play.It may even help to get you through the withdrawal.Continued success to everyone wherever you are on your journey! This roll call was a good idea.See you on Wed. at L&M. Carol

Hey Carol, So glad to hear from you!!! And yes I have thought about going to the Sun's games but I haven't found anyone who wants to go with me!! I was even looking at some of the mini packages and thinking I might just bite the bullet and go alone . Now that I know you are going...... maybe I should reconsider!! I would love to go to some of those games. Maybe I can talk Cheryl into going also...Hey Cheryl what do you think???? I won't tell you to get off the scale because I wouldn't be following my own advice! I will tell you that as frustrated as I was in the first few months......3 week plateaus were the SOP, I have gotten over expecting to see the scale drop every morning. I now know that if I go up a pound or two or three that it will come off again and then go even lower. Just keep doing what you need to do and it will happen that one day you wake up and go OMG......I have lost how much!!!!! Hope to see you on Wednesday and that I will recognize you..... I am bringing Mary Lou with me. She is slowly going through all the messages on the boards since December. Last I heard she was up to February. She couldn't believe how much support and prayers she had going for her. Hope you take a few minutes to relax after your busy weekend....... Linda

Hi Everyone, I think I missed something... Can someone tell me about the support group at L&M? Is this a WLS support group? Any details you can give me would be great TY

Hi Linda (& Everyone else)! My weekend was busy! I had a baby shower and working my 2nd job! Spent today trying to get my newly painted house back in order!! It so nice to see everyone here. JA

Hey JA, Did you get my message at work? I was just calling to see if you had gotten a meeting date yet but I now know that you did . From the sounds of it you have had a very busy week and weekend!! Hope all is well and that I see you soon. Linda

Hello All, I am disappointed that I will not be able to make the meeting at L&M. The location is actually very convenient for me but my oldest son has a high school baseball game out of town that afternoon and I know we won't be back till about that time. How often are the meetings? Hopefully I can make the next one. This weekend is the end of our school vacation. I actually had a very productive week. I painted our bedroom after stripping all the wallpaper. I still need to get everything put back together but it looks nice. My younger son had a lacrosse game in Branford yesterday. It was a beautiful day and I walked the track before the game and during the half. It made me realize how far I have come since last spring. I would not have gone to the game last year because I would have been concerned about walking from the car to the field. No fears or concerns now!! Life is good. I lost 3 more pounds this week and I am now down 90 pounds. It's so wonderful to be excited about looking ahead. I'll be thinking of you all on Wednesday. Carolyn

Hi Carolyn, The meetings in New London are once a month, from 7pm-9pm. I noticed that there is not a meeting on my schedule for May but I think that might just ******ror. I will check on it and let you know, the June meeting is 6/23/04. Sounds like you are doing just great! . Can't wait to see you!! Isn't life grand when you can participate once again?? Linda

Hey Lin, I did get your message, but was only in 3 days last week. I was crazy busy...we must talk soon though...JUNE 10th is just around the corner!!!
