We had a wonderful evening our very first time. There were wonderful attendees, great snacks, amazing conversation, and a terrific aura of support-encouragement-and budding friendship. It was so successful..that we plan on doing it again. Right now, we are looking at twice a month...possibly only once a month...but we want to make a serious start of it. Our current plan is the first and third Tuesday of each month. We will be meeting at North County High School in Glen Burnie...in the school store. Currently, the plan is to meet for from 6:00-6:30pm for a social meet/greet...and then from about 6:30 to 8:00 to chat about relevant topics. Our next meeting will be: Tuesday, February 5th. Again, we will meet/greet from 6:00-6:30 and then chat from 6:30-8:00. The topic for this meeting will be: What is your favorite "go-to" food, where can you get it, product review, etc.. Samples are appreciated. If you are interested in light "healthy" snacks...please consider bringing them... I will provide coffee and ho****er for tea, hot chocolate, etc... (let me know if you prefer regular or decaf...) If you plan on attending...let me know....simply reply to this post... Invite your friends.. invite anybody you know who you think might benefit from socializing with some great...supportive...and friendly faces!!!!

Hi Daniel, I can't be sure that I'll make all the meetings, but I've already got the first and 3rd Tuesdays marked off for the rest of the year on my calendar!!! Looking forward to Feb 5. Hugs, Mo

Comparison is the thief of joy!

If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!

I missed the first meeting. We have had some family emergencies. My 16 yr old doesn't have his work schedule yet but if he isn't working or if I can make it while he is I would love to join you all. I really wanted to make it. I am glad it is going so well. I have to map quest it though because I am not sure how to get there but if Mo is going I guess it isn't to bad because I live by the Bay Bridge not to far from her if I remember correctly. So if all goes well I plan to attend on the 5th. I have marked the next 3-4 months in my calendar as well. Laurie

Laurie, I will usually run home before I go to the meeting, so if you want we could meet at Bay Hills and I'll be happy to drive or we can take turns. I usually get my nails done on tuesday nights and there's going to be some conflict with the meeting nights, but I'll work that out, even if I have to switch the nails to another night. Hugs, Mo

I am really glad you have started another support group. They are so important. Thanks so much. I have found that I really need the support as well as the healthy eating and exercise. I have a good routine but I haven't been able to get to enough support group meetings especially since I don't drive in Baltimore where my surgeon is. I eat healthy and I have been swimming since I was 9 wks post-op and I am working with Gary who posted above-the personal trainer- and he really jump started my weight loss again and I love working out. I feel like it is all so important and it all works together. I have never felt so good and so happy in my life. Life is a gift I treasure every day. Thanks again for starting this meeting.I look forward to meeting you all hopefully on the 5th. Laurie
