The next SPS Support Group Meeting will be a "field trip" to Value Village to see if we can find some deals on clothing that fits or will inspire us to lose to the next size.  If there is any interest in a clothing swap, I will put together a day & location that should make it a good fit for most folks.

Please weigh in on this - then I will send out a special event - CLOTHING SWAP!

I may also still have Chike Samples - they are going fast - so consider coming to a support group meeting!!!

Thursday, May 17, meet SPS at the front entrance of Value Village in Tukwila at 6pm for some shopping then a light meal at Zoupa. Get some exercise, "new to you" clothes, grub (soup and salad bar at Zoupa), and best of all - SUPPORT!

Value Village: 16700 Southcenter Parkway, Tukwila, WA, 98188 -- easily found off 5 or 405 -- it used to be the Toys R Us.  Zoupa is just around the block - across from Southcenter Mall.

Contact me if you have questions - I drive from along Highway 5 - Federal Way - Kent - Des Moines -- if anyone wants to hop a ride with me.

Okay, this isn't a bribe, but I will bring some goodies & coupons for ALL attending!!!!

We will be at the Applebee's Restaurant on Kent's East Hill, and if you have never attended, just ask for Brenda -- I will be there with the goodies!

Many of you who know me, know that I bang my drum about meal replacement shakes over just protein shakes, and I have an analogy to help show why:  You can either have just a plain chicken breast, or chicken breast, veggies, and a starch - about the same calories, which would you choose?

Getting the added nutrition from a meal replacement, over just getting protein and maybe amino acids is why I always recommend a meal replacement.  No matter if you have had surgery, going to get surgery, or just want to lose weight the non-surgical way, meal replacement drinks make sense.  Most meal replacement shakes have high protein, amino acids, and 23 vitamins.  If you are comparing the prices of meal replacement to just protein, you need to factor in the supplements - as protein shakes may initially cost less, but you get less nutritionally.

Anyhow, if you did not get the "freebie" I posted for Chike Products, you can contact [email protected] - and tell him Brenda Carroll told you she likes Chike!
