Topic: Jeremy Norman on ET Monday!
Some of you that attending the Costa Mesa event will remember that Entertainment Tonight was taping during the event. It was mentioned about Jeremy's story and the producers became interested in putting together a surprise for Jeremy. Our wonderful staff have been very active in getting this surprise to be a reality for Jeremy and the surprise finally happened this past week.
Jeremy is now home for those that didn't know. He's still not able to walk after almost 15 months. They did an interview and special surprise for him. They caught it all on tape. Check your Local listings for times on for Monday's Entertainment Tonight! :jump: Tune in to see the surprise he gets.
Here's Jeremy's profile:

Topic: Please Vote, I need support
I am trying to become a contestant for a Fitness Challenge. I had written an essay for the Kokomo Tribune and have been chosen as 1 of 5 people to be voted on. I am asking for support of any and everyone I may know. I need to get people to vote on my essay. This requires people to log onto www.kokomotribune.com and click on The Fitness Challege. There you will be able to read the essays and have an opportunity to vote. In order to vote you have to register which takes like 5 minutes, and it has to be an email other than hotmail, and yahoo. It did accept my school email. So I am sure you have all seen me in on here and understand my desire to want to get a gym membership and an opportunity to change my life. Please please please assist me in this process. I am normally a quiet person, but in this case, I am not too shy to beg. You will know your vote went through because at the end the results will pop up.
Thanks,
Amy Ashley
Topic: Walking Challenge
I have been using the Walking Forum as my own personal space to log my walking goals. I have decided to expand a little and issue a challenge to all the walkers in OH land.
HOW IT WORKS
Set a goal in minutes or miles for the month of February. Every time you walk, go to the walking forum and log it. At the end of the month see if you reached your goal. It is that simple!
EXAMPLE
I will walk 10 hours in the month of February.
or
I will walk 25 miles in the month of February.
These can be any type of walks - around the neighborhood, the track, treadmill, mall walks, Walk Away the Pound videos, what ever. But they do need to be walks, not exercise in general.
Come on, let's get out there and walk!

Topic: 2 days post op report
Just wanted to let you know that surgery on Friday went perfect. I've lost quite a bit of weight already due to a week of liquids and not being hungry at all now. Working on my min. amt of fluids and protein. I feel pretty darn good, just a little tired from lack of calories. I have to laugh when i dish up a huge 1/4 cup of soup for dinner and then actually struggle to eat it in 20 minutes. Lmao. I wondered aloud before the surgery how that would ever be possible. That looks like two slurps. lol. Also woke up this morning with a really tight band. Wow, barely got 2 baby sips of liquid pain meds in. I'll take it though. Love being a bander and a TOTAL LOSER.
Topic: Please support a fellow LOSER!

Hello everyone!
We have a new LOSER among us. My new Angelette Robin Robbins underwent a safe and successful surgery this morning at Inland Valley Hospital in Wildomar with Dr. Suh. I just got off the phone with her and she sounded terrific! She will be discharged on Friday morning. Happy day!
Let's flood Robin's surgery page with our support and best wishes.
