Topic: Last Chance NY OH Conference Fashion Show
Ladies & Gentlemen,

Last chance to join in the OH Fashion Show at the NY Conference October 22nd! 

Anyone interested in participating in the fashion show for the Long Island, NY OH conference on October 22, 2011 please contact me to provide information and photos at [email protected].

The OH Fashion Shows are open to anyone who wants to participate. After having surgery and working so hard to stay on track, you deserve to show off a bit!  We ask that you send high resolution "before" photos and a brief blurb stating your surgeon's name, surgery type, starting weight and current weight (your choice). OH will put them all together to be shown on a large screen while you strut your stuff on the catwalk to music! This starts at 8pm on Saturday evening and we ask that you provide the outfit that you would like to be photographed in! To keep with our schedule, you may be asked to join the other models by 7:45pm that evening to coordinate the lineup.

Upon submitting your photo, you are giving ObesityHelp your permission to use your likeness on our website or in our magazine.

Any other questions? Just ask!!!

Hi Barbie,

I see you and I had surgery about the same time (I was also in March this year...March 3)...Congratulations on your success!

Recently, I've found myself craving some fresh salad now and then too...not just eating it, but craving it...not a lot, just a little.  Very little lettuce/spinach, but really like the veggies.  Especially the cucumber and tomatoes (I think that's because of the moisture content in them...)  And, of course, the grilled chicken to go with it...

I don't know who you had for a surgery...didn't recognize the name...Where did you have your surgery done?

Still losing, you said!  Keep up the good work!!!

sorry it took so long to get back I ended up having surgery so just getting back to self lol. What i meant was some one to work out with, walk ect. I do some but it gets lonely to do by self. and can help each other work out instead of not doing anything.

 Salad is ok  my favorite meal is   chef salad but i  have it made special so i dont overeat  or throw it away.

Glad to hear you have given up soda.   After a while it will be second nature but  sometimes it takes awhile.   

They always say  that when we lose all that weight we lose alot of muscle that is why our nuts  want us to exercise and follow the rules. if we go back to the old ways we will gain our weight back  and be even more unhealthy.   Take care and it sounds like you are doing great!!!!

Topic: RE: One year anniversary

Congrats on your anniversary! I too have gotten a little lazy with my workout routine. ugh! I am in my last year of nursing school and with two young kids at home I am just always on the run! I was going to water aerobics five days a week but since school started water aerobics is at  a time of day that just doesn't work for me! Plus I am just feeling like I want to start something different. I am ready for a different work out routine...I just gotta find something I like!

Thats great that you found a water that you like Jeanine! I eat salad a lot. I have heard that you should avoid iceberg lettuce so be aware of that. My favorite salad is baby spinach (always thought it would be gross but I love it) feta cheese sprinkles, dried cranberries (just a few for some added flavor), crushed almonds and diced chicken. I use a low fat honey balsalmic dressing and it is so good and protein packed! Sounds like you are doing better! Keep up the good work!
