Welcome to the board (((Crystal ))).............Sherry..........

Hey Crystal! Glad to met you! Isn't Christine the greatest? I've been to Purvis a couple of times back when I was in college - had to fight my way thro the dinosaurs tho! With the two little ones, you don't need to join a gym or even start an exercise program, it's built in! Congrats on your 40 lbs gone forever! Keep us posted! We wanna hear from you OFTEN!!! Smooch Arlies

HI CRYSTAL!!!! I am so glad you came. You are such a joy! My sister loved talking to you esp since you are her height. She said she thought you were so pretty and I think you talking to her helped her alot --having someone other than me. I am so glad you came to this site. Post away... We love to talk on here. You are doing so good!!

Hi Crystal, It was a pleasure to talk to you at the meeting. Elesha LapRNY 2/26/02 288/165

Hi Chrystal, welcome to our Mississippi board, we're a pretty active board and do our best to support each other here as well as with personal interaction, it's really a great big family here. As I work crazy hours and live down on the coast, I never make any support meetings, not even here where I live, it's just not possible with my schedule. So this is "my" support group, here on the board, these girls and guys are wonderful Having said all this, I wish you a great week and maybe once Arlies feels up to par again, we all can do a chat sometimes to talk again. ~~Andie~~ (334)305.221.160

Crystal, Welcome to the Mississippi Local Board. It's a fairly lively site, And the sweetest, most caring bunch around. Great to hear about your -40! Keep up the great work, and keep on posting! Best Wishes- Dx

Hey Crystal, Welcome to the Ms message board. I have only been on here a 3 months or so. I'm still getting to know everyone, but they are wonderful. I have never seen so much love and support in one place. Join us as ofter as you can. Congratulations on your loss. I have a 22 month old and I chase her alot I can only imagine chasing 2. Good luck with your continued weight loss. Becky

Welcome Crystal, We are so happy to have you here on the MS Board with us. We just love each other and encourage each other all the time. Next to my grandchildren, these are the sweetest people I know.(sorry, I can't help it). You will find out that we have a wonderful leader, we call her The Queen. She is just getting over her surgery, but when she gets back full speed, she will keep you laughing and informed. (You go Arlies) We all look forward to traveling your journey with you. I am still pre-op, so I am just treading water right now. Maybe it won't be too much longer for me. Welcome again and keep up the good work on your weight loss. Smiles, Jan
