Meeting everyone at the meeting was great.

Ditto over here - it was terrific meeting everyone. It was cool for me becasue I usually do not bond that well in person with people. The internet is one thing but the flesh has become something different the past 6 years or so. I never used to be that way at all even when I was in my 225 ish range. But after my 1st pregnancy when I hit 300 & never went back I've slowly withdrew myself from situations where I had to be "physically" social. When I went to the support group meeting in November I just figured - oh great - more of the same because I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin there. Even around so many other people who probably knew just how I felt. But I didn't "know" anyone and I just felt out of place. But Saturday meeting all of you was different. I felt okay. I felt like I was forging new friendships. I felt happy and not too awkward. Thanks. I wanted to post a few of the pictures from our meeting on my profile but I don't know if I need everyone's permission to do that. Do any of you know? You guys are great

Hi Kathy, I felt the same way at the November meeting. Kind of out of place, it seemed like everyone kn ew each other but me. It didn't seem that way this time tho, it was great! I feel like I have made some really great friends. Linda

Me, too!! I'm gonna cry! Don't mind me, I'm just weepy right now. Don't know why. In answer to your question, I don't mind if you post any pix with me in it. (Boy, I'm getting brave after only 30 lbs lost, huh??) lol Wait till I'm in the century club, man. I'll be flashing by that point! ANYHOW....(yeah, y'all got THAT visual, huh?)...(ahem).... You can create a yahoo photo album ( I see a lot of those on OB Help and I just created one, too. In fact, hey, why don't I just put in a plug for my profile and new photos right here! yuk, yuk http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/profile.phtml?N=F1050972865&NoStatic=1 Love ya guys! (((hugs))) -Karen

Oh ya know we could do an MSN community if you guys want to..post messages and a photo album chat room etc all on one easy access site with not alot of popup advertising crap on it. Feel free to post any pic with me in it cause I know it will be the worst I ever look..lol can't get anything but better pretty soon! http://groups.msn.com/home

Kathy, you certainly have my permission!!! It was great meeting you in person!! On Saturday, you told me about a site that you rec'd sample protein from....um.. I forget what the site was...can you tell me again. Thanks!! ((hugs)) Cj

sure - it was called unjury.com. I went to the site & emailed them and they said they would send me a sample. I actually have not gotten it yet but I think Karen got hers. I am going to have to email them again myself.

Hey, ladies... Yes, I have a canister of Unjury unflavored. I really like the vesatility of it. I can send you a baggie of it (oh, my! doesn't that sound bad?) if you like. Just send me your mailing address offline and I'll be happy to do that. Or I can bring it to you at the next meeting? I'll put two scoops of it in, so you'll know just to divide the baggie portion in half to get an exact scoop measurement. You can put it in soups, puddings, ect. Just remember not to BOIL it. (((hugs))) -Karen
