Topic: RE: Comin Back to be accountable
Hi Anita: I don't think we've met, but welcome back!
I'm assuming you live north of the Cities, but you are welcome to make the trek to our Saturday morning support group. I'd love to meet you.
Some of us post weigh-in on Monday morning to help stay accountable. It helps me to have a place to report how I did and discuss challenges or victories each week. Feel free to join that thread-- no pressure to post your actual weight if you don't want to, altho of course this group does not judge. We commiserate, cheer, support and encourage!
Don't know if you can walk for exercise after your neck surgery, but we have a group that is walking or running in the Challenge Obesity 5K around Como Lake April 21st. You'd be welcome to join in that as well--we have a team going called the "Formerly Fat Friends." It should be a lovely spring morning outing with friends!!

So sorry. I wasn't there yesterday, but we usually sit right in front of the Panera, at the long area with booth seats at the back and chairs in front.
We will be at the Caribou in Byerly's in Eagan next Saturday. We usually push a bunch of tables together in the middle. Look for people that have water cups on the table.

I was at the Burnsville Panera this morning.
The place was really busy and I could't tell who the group would be. I'll be out of town this next weekend but maybe someone could give me a hint who to look for when I come the following weekend.
Looking foward to meeting you! Thanks.....

Welcome back Anita!!!
I gained about 30 pounds since my lowest weight. Since I moved back to MN I have gone back to "basics". The first week was tough but now it is like normal again. I have lost 13 pounds and want to lose more. It is taking longer to lose this time of course but I am feeling better all ready!!
I wish you the best in which ever direction you chose to go.
I too would love to see you again!!!
HUGS........connie d

Topic: RE: Incisional Hernia repair
Thanks, Darla. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will feel well enough to go the annual women's retreat the following weekend-- assuming I can ride with someone.
