Nicki, a very nice lady named Jackie might be getting in contact with you. She owns 7 curves franchises in the area and is interested in learning how she can better help her clients that have had WLS. You know, how she can help motovate them, what things they can and cannot do (pre-op, post-op, and long timers). She realy wants to learn about the surgerys and if she can play an active part in the success rate for her clients. I'm going to bring her to the 9/7 meeting with me so she can meet everyone. My mother works for Jackie in the Newport Curves. I will be bringing flyers & stuff with me because in September they're having their 2 for 1 sign-up & save deal. It's a really wonderful program, for us big girls. They're also starting a wonderful Nutrition & Exercise program in september. Jackie gave me a member book to review and so far it's very close to what we're taught in our PMRI classes. Dee

Where is Concordia Lutheran Church located please.... Thanks Sharon

Sharon, Concordia Lutheran Church is located at 3003 Silverside Road. Between Foulk & Shipley across from Bonsall Park. It is all the way around the back of the building through the downstairs doors. Email me if you need futher info. Elissa

Yes Sharon, Elissa is a great direction giver. Hi Elissa, how are you doing? I have lost 20 pounds since Aug 1, the day I decided to walk every day. And now I can't go a day without walking. I feel great!! Take care, Dana

WOW, Dana How far do you walk?

Hi Dianne, I walk at work, I work at the Perry Point VA they have sidewalks all over, I just go out on my first 15 minute break and walk briskly for 7 minutes and then turn around, then at lunchtime I walk for 25 minutes. I haven't measured how far I walk. At home when I walk in the development I live in, I walk a mile in 20 minutes.

Hey Dana. Good job. 20 lbs. Stay motivated. You look gorgeous. ((HUGS)) Elissa

I am planning to attend the Healthy Beginnings at Concordia on Thurs. night. I have not had my surgery yet. I am getting lap band done on 9/30. Is Healthy Beginnings something I should attend? Should I wait until post surgery? Thank you!
