Mascot !!!!

To the right of your screen......

You see it says..... diane S......."Group Leader"

Yes.... Diane is our Group Founder and Group Leader !

Yah for Diane !

What has always intrigued me is the Artwork in her Avatar.....

I hope Diane still has that piece..........

It's just got this funny way of looking at you with those eyes to keep you accountable.......

Like....."Are you really gonna eat that?"


That should be our VSGMG  "Mascot" !!!!!

Actually Frisco I had kinda thought the same thing. When I click on the group and it has the blank avatar I have thought it needs to show Diane's beautiful artwork. Great minds think alike, right?

thanks Frisco and Nanadeb
 
I never thought of using that picture as the symbol for our group but would be happy to do so provided I can figure out how to set it up. I am a computer dolt in spite of having been a regular user for many years including my days in the business world. Actually I no longer have that art  piece. It was a part of a group of various animals on a redwood burl base all doing yoga poses and I sold it at a sculpture show. I make a lot of animals doing yoga. I put that pic up because I was to shy to put my own pic. The full piece is up on my art website. Am actually making another one on commission right now.

Have made lots of yoga hippos - each a little different. I also made one reclining and grinning called "Three Days Post Op" which had five little pink incision marks in the appropriate places on its big belly. Gave that one to my surgeon. may have posted a picture of it on the vsg main forum.

But all the hippo figures are tubby and maybe we need a skinny mascot. Or maybe its a reminder of our former selves. But I am glad you guys like it. D

well, i posted a photo of the 3 Days Post Op figure on our site. did this because when i went to edit the group, it has you go to a browser and this is one of the things that popped up. I have a lot of trouble finding things on this computer since they seem to classify themselves in all sorts of different places and i don't really have the knack of how or why. So this pic was there and I used it. Guess the yoga hippo is me and the happy post op can be the group. You may be able to click on it and get a larger view and see the incision marks on it. otherwise, its just a happy guy. like all of us!  D

looks great...

I think that works Great.....

It will remind us of where we came from and the unknown journey ahead ........

All the hard work and commitment we put into this..... for some it starts as a long hard fight with an insurance company.....for some it's getting a loan.....for some who made other financial sacrifices and may have even effected a family budget. For a lot of us we have others that have a vested interest in our success in this process.

We paid the price.......We put ourselves on that operating table......We did our part to lose the weight.....

Now we must maintain !!!!!!!!!!!
