I need some help!
Hi everyone,
I'm in a stall. I am not weighing every day - I hadn't weighed since last Monday due to the storms. But every time I've gotten on the scales for the past 3 weeks I've been at the same 220.4 pounds! I actually thought my scale must have been broken so I had my husband get on it to see. It wasn't - unfortunately!
I'm really getting depressed and would love to get some help from you all. I spoke with the nutritionist at Georgetown and sent her my food journal from January to see what she had to say. All she said was that it looked like I was eating the right things. The only suggestion she had was to switch up my foods and try to get some more exercise. So I'll do that.
What I'd really like to do is go to an eye-to-eye, person-to-person, no computer necessary support meeting! Do you know when the next one might be in the Louisville area?
Any other comments would be greatly appreciated. I feel like such a failure and don't know why I'm not being more successful at this!

Hi Debbie,
The next Norton's meeting will be at the downtown location o Tuesday February 10th @ 6pm. It's also the one that most of us gals show up at. Please come see us there!!
Also, are you local enough to Louisville to meet & greet any of us at our informal gatherings?? We LOVE LOVE LOVE these get togethers almost more than the groups as we can talk about things that are going on with us and not simply the topic of the month as mandated by the bariatric group.
I feel confident enough to speak up for the other gals in saying ....COME SEE US!! If we can't help outwardly it's always good to have a group of gals who "get it" and can simply moan and groan with....and we can certainly do our share of that!!
Here's a list of what we have in the works:
- Vicki (clamshell) is working on a gathering on the 20th in Clarksville.
- I am working on a party/gathering in March at my house in Oldham Co.
- We might also have another gathering this month for lunch or something like that but don't know just yet.

Ok...I see Becka has covered the invite so I will skip on that...but we would really love to see ya there! Its next Tuesday! I cannot wait! It is my only way to let my hair down! As far as the stall...and I am sure many will tell ya this...it is normal! Your body is playing catch up! have you tried increasing your protein, water and exercise???? Usually that will help bump it again in the downward motion! I know we all seemed to be at a stall since the holidays but since this last wake up call from mother nature...most of us are moving again! Its great but i was thinking on this last night and I would have to say I think it may have to do with the fact that we all became more active during this mess. i know I was at least. No computer or tv to park my butt in front of. I stayed busy more for my sanity than anything. call me crazy but I really do wonder if that is what got me moving again..Either way, just keep up those three things and once your body has caught up with you then you will be moving again as well.....hope to see ya there tuesday! Make sure you tell us who ya are. Some of people are not easy to recognize anymore because of their loss... 
I would love to get together with you and especially go to the support meeting at Norton, but I have a prior engagement next Tuesday night (another monthly obligation that got moved from last week to the 10th!) so I can't make it. I'll watch the boards and if you do plan another get together when I can come, I'm SO there! I'll also mark my calendar for March 10th for the next Norton meeting and get with you as to the details.
I had a meeting with my PCP today on my labs, which are all pretty good, thank goodness. At least I don't have THAT to worry about!
