Hi Barbara, welcome and good luck on your journey. I just moved here to Centerville in January from Florida, love the area and the people. We have a group of us who meet casually around the Dayton Mall area and maybe you can join us next time, somebody usually will post the time and date. Keep in touch and if you have any questions....ask away and someone will be there with some good advice. :waveWelcome aboard. Lise

I am kind of shy and very embarrassed about my weight and do not go places that much. I do alot of camping. I would love to meet you all . I just want to lose some of this weight first. I know this is crasy . but it really has messed up my last 10 years of my life. I have chf and do hardly nothing. Take Care Barb

Welcome Aboard Barb! I just had my surgery last week. I hope all goes well with your surgery. Good Luck and God Bless.... Julie
