GREAT LCBBuddies MEETING

WE HAD A GREAT MEETING TONIGHT ... EVERYONE WAS IN SUCH A FANTASTIC MOOD & LOOKIN' SUPER! WE HAD 2 NEWBIES, MS SHANNON & MS PAT (I BELIEVE MS DOROTHY MACK GOES BY "PAT" ... LET ME KNOW IF I'M WRONG). OUR REGULARS WERE PRESENT & IT WAS JUST A SPECIAL TIME TONIGHT ... LAUGHIN' & CHATTIN' & SHARIN' INFORMATION. A LITTLE BIT OF TRIVIA HERE ... MS BECKY (REBECCA JOLLY) & MS PAT ARE HAVING THEIR SURGERY IN THE SAME HOSPITAL ON THE SAME DAY & BOTH LIVE IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD. MS BECKY'S HUSBAND IS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF BOTH LADIES AFTER SURGERY & EVEN ASKED MS BECKY IF MS PAT NEEDED TO MOVE IN WITH THEM WHILE SHE RECOUPERATED ... &, FOR THAT, WE SEND A BIG "ATTA BOY" TO HIM!!!!!!!!! WHAT A SWEETHEART HE IS! WE ALL TRIED A CHEWABLE CALCIUM CITRATE WAFER BY TWINLAB THAT MS CHERYL GOT AT THE VITAMIN SHOPPE. PRETTY GOOD - KINDA TASTES LIKE A MILD SWEET TART CANDY. YA KNOW, I'M NOT OVERSTATING IT WHEN I SAY THAT NICK & I HAVE SOME OF THE MOST WONDERFUL FRIENDSHIPS & MANY OF THESE FRIENDSHIPS ARE THROUGH OUR LCBBuddies GROUP. WE HAVE SUCH A FANTASTIC GROUP OF PEOPLE ... CARING & GIVING ... JUST PLAIN SWEETHEARTS ... WHO JOIN TOGETHER EACH THURSDAY EVENING. WE SEND OUR DEEP APPRECIATION FOR THE GIFTS OF KINDNESS YOU BRING TO OUR LIVES ... FOR THE JOY & SUPPORT & CLOSENESS ... THE LAUGHTER, JOKING & SILLINESS ... WE THANK EACH OF YOU! GOD BLESS Y'ALL DAWN & NICK

You did post about the meeting!! Nobody does it like you do! Everybody did look great last night. Silliness? I don't know what you're talking about. I did have a ball, though. Love ya, B

I had the best time last night and have been in the best mood today. Thanks to all of you for the wonderful friendship and support. Can't wait until next week. Mary

Thanks Lady D. I would love to attend. I know where Ashley Phosphate is. I am originally from James Island. My family still lives there. I tried to attend some support meetings here but since I had my surgery in Chas. they won't let me. I need alot of support. I am 2 months post op today and have only lost 33 pounds. I thought it would come off faster than this. But I will never give up.

THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT THEY WON'T LET YOU ATTEND ... WE DON'T TURN ANYONE AWAY, MS LINDA ... YOU COME ON DOWN & JOIN US ANY TIME ... SOME LOSE FAST IN THE BEGINNING ... SOME LATER ... SOME ARE SLOWER & MORE CONSISTENT ... AS LONG AS YOU'RE LOSING & STICKING TO THE EATING PLAN, THERE'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. I LOST QUICKLY IN THE BEGINNING & THEN HIT A MAJOR WALL ... IT'S EXERCISE TIME ... OH MY GOSHHHHHHH ... SWEATING & ALL THAT ... YUCK! BUT, I KNOW I WILL LOVE IT ONCE I MOVE MY LAZY BACKSIDE. IF YOU'D LIKE, DROP IN HERE ON THE SC BOARD & CHAT WITH US. WE HAVE SO MANY FANTASTIC PEOPLE HERE. THERE'S SO MUCH SUPPORT & ENCOURAGEMENT ... JOKING AROUND ... MS SHANNON NOW LIVES IN FL & POSTS HERE & MS SCORRO LIVES IN GA & STILL POSTS HERE ... ONCE A SOUTH CAROLINIAN, ALWAYS A SOUTH CAROLINIAN. I'LL ADD YOU TO OUR SC WEIGHT LOSS LIST ... THAT'LL MAKE IT OFFICIAL! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

Wasn't it great!!! I think it was about the best meeting we're had so far ... Everyone was in such a fantastic mood & we all laughed & goofed around ... I'm with you ... Lookin' to next week, Ms Mary! HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK
