For all of you who kindly responded to the Katrina victims need for clothing by sending clothes to Trinity Bariatric in Illinois, the center wants to give you a big thank you. The center received over 2500 pounds of clothing!! This is a huge amount and as you can imagine they are out of storage room. They truly apprciate all the help OH has given to them but now ask that we stop sending them clothes. If you still have clothes you want to donate, please contact me at [email protected] and we will tell you where the best place would be to send them. Thank you all for your show of support when your neighbors are in need.

Thought I would check in and see how my Idaho weight loss buddies were doing. I have had a rough road but heck I am still alive. Food was and quess still is not being very friendly. I had a stricture taken care of yesterday, and they found a ucler (lucky me) can not hide anything from that scope can you? Well I hoping you all have a great week. Has any one else had ucler's? If so what are you eating now to help it. Thanks Kaye 293/250/150

Kelli, my husband and I are considering moving to Nampa next summer (I've lived in CA my entire 37 years)! How is Meridian? Are you enjoying it there? Any info you can provide on the area would be great. We haven't been there yet, but have friends there, and another set of friends considering moving there, as well. THANKS! Susan

We received a lot of great member comments when we asked your opinions about the new FX comedy series Starved which will have its final show of the season Thursday night, Sept. 15 at 10 p.m. on FX. I had the great opportunity of speaking with Eric Schaeffer the writer/director/actor/producer of the series and you can find the exclusive interview online at http://www.oh-magazine.com/. We hope you enjoy the article and have a chance to watch the last episode tomorrow night.
