What is Secret Pals?

Sorry I am new to this site... and I tried to find soemthign that described what this is... and I am lost.. LOL

Can someone please explain what Secret pals is to me..

Thanks

We are right now in the middle of a round. Each round lasts three months. You send e-mails, e-cards and notes to your buddy for support and encouragement. Once a month you send a surprise gift to that person as well, about a $10 gift. You will have someone that does the same for you, not neccissarily the same person that you are sending to. For example, Jane sends to Mary, Mary sends to Sue, Sue sends to Chris and Chris sends to you. Renee and Rona are the coordinators. Nest round will start in October. Keep an eye on the Secret Pals message board for the updates.

And Welcome! Everyone here is really nice, suppoortive and full of encouragement. Don't feel that because you are not yet participating in pals that you can't post. Jump on in. The Daily Share and Care is a good place to start.

Hi friends! I am new to the secret pal forum.  My name is Laura...I grew up the fat kid...I have lost and gained the same 100 pounds 4 times...the last being after RNY-WLS which was 07/30/07.  I have 4 kids ages 10 to almost 21 and have been married to my teenage sweetheart for 21 years.  I went in for back surgery on 07/30/09...because of drugs, lack of exercise because of pain and depression, I have put on 40 pounds from my lowest weight....30 from my 'comfortable' weight...I was deep into carb abusing and after a carb induced 'coma' on Saturday, I decided yesterday to give up the 'white stuff'...I feel better already....not to mention the ketostix are registering trace amounts! Already!  Well...that is me...I am struggling to slowly add more exercise every day...right now that means a little more housework every day...eventually I will get back to pumping iron in the gym,but right now my back and my dr. tell me to take it easy!!!  I cannot wait to get to know alot of you....It is so refreshing to see friendly people after mistakingly pressing on the rant and rave forum...geeesh...I won't be going there again!!!!

Welcome to the board, Laura.   You look wonderful in your picture.  I hope that you are doing better since your back surgery.  Again, welcome and make sure you sign up mid september for round 4.  :-)
