Hello..............................

Just thought I'd pop in and say Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am 6 pounds from one-der-land I am stoked about that!!!!!!!!!!! I don't post much I am a lurker I pray for everyone that asks for prayer I just don't have alot to talk about I guess I stay busy...busy...busy... with being a preachers wife and also I'm still going to physical therapy 3 times a week. Would love to be able to find a place to do water arobics but I live 50 miles from anywhere, so just to far to drive. I am not sure if we are going to be able to keep our Fredericktown Support Group going????????? With nobody coming ???????????????? Well it has been a long day with church so I'm going to go to bed. Everybody have a great day tomorrow!!! Love Brenda 300/205/150

Hi Brenda, Nice to see you on line. I too have been doing a lot of lurking lately. I get so down with this weather. Tomorrow I am going to the Blue Springs support group to try to help get it started. And I need some time out of the house. I wish I were closer to your group. Hope you will be able to keep it going. They did a special on the news tonite on the Kansas City channel about WLS about the good benifits and the increase of it.So if you can keep your group going maybe with spring coming up you can get a better start.Take care. Julia

Brenda...I just typed and posted the information you will find below on a reply to Antonio for their support group. I thought it might help you as well so I'm posting it here too! You guys might need to make and post flyers advertising your support group along with placing an ad in the area newspaper. Some online newspapers like the KC.com and Backpage.com allow some ads for free or they charge you very little for the ad. I think they cover ALL of Missouri. Another thing you might try is looking up the people on ObesityHelp.com that are in the general area and send them a invite! You might go to gyms, spas, curves, GNC and other places like that to see if they will let you post a flyer! Don't call, it's too easy for them to say NO, go in person! Also, hang some of your flyers in the back of your vehicles! I hope I helped a little! The links for placing the ads are below... http://kc.backpage.com/gyrobase/classifieds/index http://sellit.kansascity.com/listit/classifieds/select.jsp?id=cat0054470046 Good Luck! I will be prayers for you guys to have a FULL house!! Debbie M.
