Hi everyone! I have just started an on line group here on Obesity Help. OH has offered me so much help & knowledge as well as been a great tool for me and now I am trying to pay it forward. If your interested, take a look at it, however, bear with me as I am just getting it going.

Take a look at what? You're not likely to get people there if you don't tell them where it is. And how is it different from what we already have here on OH?

Ah, okay! I don't see signatures when I read notes. My bad!

I'm not a "professional" yet, but would like to try and help others in their struggles like everyone else on here does. I thought it'd be neat to start a group. While taking the training offered here on OH as well as the leader board info, I have learned so much more and would like to continue learning and help pass it along.

Kris, sorry if I seemed to "jump" on you before. I didn't see the info in your signature as I read notes while signed in, therefore signatures don't appear. It saves me scrolling through a lot of extra stuff when I'm trying to read quickly.

It's great that you want to pay it forward and facilitate a group for the Southern MN area. From posts I've seen, there doesn't seem to be a lot available for that area and an online group may be a very good way to get support. I don't go to my support group often, but do occasionally go to coffees and read OH nearly every day, even though I don't often write.

Good luck with your group!

I didn't take it that way, so not an issue. I did a post earlier in the week and received kind of a rude response, so I deleted it and changed my posting. Your right, there aren't' many support groups down in this area. We did get one up & going and had our first meeting a few weeks ago. I would love to attend some of the coffee groups sometime, but always seem to be working every weekend!
