Support Group

Last week I made the attempt to get together a support group apparently the day of the week or the time is bad for most people. so give me your input on when we could start having meetings. Saturday or Sunday? I have a lot of great ideas and think it is about time we did something for each other. I would also like to include those that have a date as well. I should not have left them out as I feel it is equally important for them to get their questions answered and input as well. So I apologize. Now back to the task at hand lets start a group. Even if you dont live in the area, call me and I will set something up for other areas. If we dont start somewhere we will still have nothing. thankyou!

Becky - Have you checked into whether there is a local group already? I am thinking most folks probably already belong to local groups. You might check with Obesityhelp.com and see about starting a chapter...they may have some good suggestions. Our board hasn't been really busy lately and I know for myself I already belong to a physical support group. I come to the board to get to know friends from the other parts of the state. I'm not sure if you have spent much time here reading past posts or not, but I know there are a group of folks from up there who come to this board who get together for dinner or drinks on occasion. I just don't want you getting disappointed that no one is jumping up to join your group. I just post updates once in awhile for people who may just happen by so they know of our local group, but rarely do those posts get many replies. Dina
