Topic: RE: Thanks and Prayers!
How exciting! Best of luck to you tomorrow! I hummed the hymn "Be not afraid, I go before you always..." on my way into the OR...prayer, and knowing God is right there with you, sure helps with the anxiety. You will be in my prayers tonight and my thoughts tomorrow. Can't wait to hear from you once your home again and up to posting! Deb
Topic: Does doing the Snoopy Happy Dance on the scales count as exercise?
yesterday I finally weighed in below 200 lb and was that ever a welcomed site! thankfully no one was present to witness the aweful site of me, naked on the scales, doing the Happy Dance! ha. Next milestone for me will be 50 lb total weight loss (just 2.5 lb more to go) -- hope to be doing the dance again this weekend over that! :-) Deb
Topic: RE: New to IA Board....introduction and question
Thank you all for the warm welcome and the great information. It's nice to "meet" you and I look forward to getting to know you all through this board, and maybe the CR or IC meetings, in the months ahead! Since I have my kids on Thursday nights, that won't work as well for me, but I may be able to get my ex to swap a day so I can attend. I prefer CR since it's where I hang out most of the time, but IC is about the same distance. Tuesdays I don't have kids, but I do have an OA meeting I like to attend. Busy, busy :-) Anyway, I really appreciate all the great info on this board! Deb
