Topic: Beckley WLS Support Grp Mtg 02/13
Hi Everyone! (2006 Meeting Dates listed below)
The Beckley WLS Support Group meeting will be held on MONDAY, February 13, from 7:00-9:00pm at Raleigh General Hospital on Harper Road, Beckley. Our meeting location is in the Education Center (annex building on the Kroger side of RGH). Entrance is at the top of the wheelchair ramp. Guests are welcome and everyone is encouraged to attend!
A Yahoo Group just for the Beckley WLS Support Group is online! Now you can talk to a fellow support group member anytime! Let's get our online group going by posting a message today! http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/beckleywlssg/ (If you don't already have a Yahoo ID, getting one is easy and FREE!)
CLOTHING EXCHANGE: We will now have a clothing exchange at each meeting! You are welcome to bring any clothes that no longer fit you and take home some that do. As you lose out of them, bring them back and exchange them for others! You do not have to bring clothing to take clothing, and bringing clothing is not required.
Restaurant cards for Dr. Shin and Dr. Stickler's patients (as well as some other area doctors) will be available for anyone who needs one. There will be a door-prize drawing for anyone attending who has had weight-loss surgery. Don't forget to bring a recipe (or two...or three) for our online group cookbook (or you can email them to us), a "before" picture (if you have one), or even bring some "before" clothes!
You can view our monthly calendar on the Yahoo Group at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/beckleywlssg/cal, or by visiting our support group website at http://www.geocities.com/beckleywlssg/ The 2006 meeting dates are also listed below.
Looking forward to seeing you Monday!

That drug gave me the nervous jitters 24/7 ,i began having hallucinations on my 2nd week,so by far it wasnt worth it

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 your 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!
