Discussion about the 2nd Official MA Get Together. 7/26 or 7/27?

So I was doing a bit of reading in the Get Together followup thread that we setup.    First, I totally agree with Dawn, we definitely dont have to wait to get together in a group.  It's always fun to set up individual trips too!! .. If you're going out for anything and want a shopping partner / etc -- it's a great idea to post here and see if someone's available to go.  :) I would really love to do at least 1 more than I can attend in this area.  (I saw at least because at the end of August I'm moving to Florida ..  :(   )  .. It's a good thing .. but I'll miss everyone in MA.  So..... I heard a few people saying that Saturday might not work .. so I wanted to take a poll (kinda like I did last time but with two different weekends).   The place we'll be using is "NotCasey"'s Mom's property which has a pool.  Woo!  In Waltham, MA.  The time frame is going to be the end of July.  SO .. which would potentially work better for you?  (meet up time 11am-12pm) July 26th - Saturday July 27th - Sunday   Sadly one date doesn't always work for everyone, but I wanted to put it out there to see if one was stronger than the other.    If both work for you - please say.

Weight at time of Surgery: 278.   Lowest Weight 178.   Current weight 187.0.  Goal: 160.

As a letter carrier, I find that Sunday works best for me. I work on Saturdays. Linda

Either day is great for me !! I cannot wait.

Sadly, Hubby and I are splitting,, so I may bring a friend instead. This is not a new thing,, we have been seperate for a while. Do not know if you could tell at the last outing or not. But we do things together for the kids.  :)

Wow - so sorry to hear that!  I didn't notice a thing, but I'm glad you're doing what you can for the kids.

Sue,,, I have been unhappy for years, and I finally got the strength to do something about it. this is really had for me to do, because we have been married for 12 years. maybe it is just me that changed, but I was just as unhappy before I lost this weight. It is hard because there are kids involved, and we have alot of debt. I do not know what is going to happen next. There are kids and families involved, and lots of hurt and pain. I am causing it,, and I don't know what to do. I need to get me happy again/\.

In that case, good for you for doing what is best for you.  In the end, happy parents are what is best for kids, and you deserve the best that life has to offer.  Even when things are hard, they always work out in the end.  That may sound corny, but it's what I believe....and I've been through my fair share of trauma.   

A lot of people blame their depression on their weight - but often it's the other way around.  Losing the weight won't cure our unhappiness, it just clears up some things so we can find out why we're really unhappy.  I've found out a lot of that before my surgery....so I'm a little worried to see what happens afterwards!  I know I'll be ok though, and you will too!

*hugs*
