I'm thinking about doing this also. And in the beginning the book will be private for me and close friends. I like the losing thought though so I might put my weight in hidden journaling. I LOVE the tag idea! Congrats on your upcoming surgery - it'll be here sooner than you think.

The doctors have told me that I am really speeding along, but it has seemed slow to me. That is until my date was set, now the past two weeks have flown by. I have had things to do to get ready, buying things for the liquid diet, etc. This last week will probably drag by because I think I am all ready. But I can't believe it is only one week to go!! I would love to come and scrap with you - I have only been in CA once and it was beautiful. The one thing I have to get ready before next Tuesday is get some organization to the scrap projects I want to do for the next few weeks. I plan to do a lot to keep me busy and not thinking about eating all the time - lol. If you have any other good ideas like the tags let me know and I will keep you posted about what I come up with. - Vicki

Hey Connie, Oh I love the tag idea - I will for sure use it! Thanks - Vicki

Hi Connie - I too am planning to do my journey. You might not put the actual weight in at first just start posting your weight loss. Then you don't have the negative of what you weight but the positive of what you lose. - Vicki

Hi Ladies, OK, so let's get the ball rolling with our SWAP.... OK, we're all in agreement we want to SWAP 12 x 12 pages. I suggest we all do a 2 page layout...something for our WLS books. What kind of time frame should we look at? With in the next 4 weeks? Let's say our SWAP has to be complete by July 28th? Does everyone agree on this? PLEASE E-MAIL ME DIRECTLY AT [email protected] I am looking SO forward to this!! I don't have a date yet but can't wait to start my book! hugs, Ann
